Author Donald F. Fausel was raised in the pre-Vatican II Catholic
Church, when prescribed beliefs were rarely questioned and blind
obedience to authority trumped following one's conscience. Through
a process of developing an informed conscience and learning to
think critically, his journey led him to a more responsible faith,
while remaining in his Catholic tradition. This memoir recalls
Fausel's life experiences, his reflections on those events, and how
they affected his spiritual journey-from his birth in 1929; his
formative years; his life in the seminary and ordination in 1957;
his nine years in the active ministry, ending with a dispensation
from the Vatican in 1972; and his continued journey as a married
Catholic. Fausel reflects on a range of faith-related issues: the
differences between faith and beliefs; abortion and artificial
birth control; the doctrine of infallibility; the danger of relying
solely on the magisterium; the charism of celibacy and mandatory
celibacy; the place of women in the church and the ordination of
women; and the effect of the new cosmology on our image of God. Not
only does Fausel's memoir frame the events that shaped his life,
but provides reflections to help others in their faith journey.
