When sexual scandals rocked the American Catholic Church, many
observers and faithful alike called on the church to abandon its
tenets on the vocation of the priesthood and sexuality outside
marriage-to, in effect, become more Protestant. Acclaimed
theologian and best-selling author George Weigel saw the crisis
differently: as a crisis of fidelity to the true essence of
Catholicism. In this well-reviewed book that touched a chord with
so many practicing Catholics, Weigel examines the scandal in the
context of church history, and exposes the patterns of dissent and
self-deception that became entrenched in seminaries, among priests,
and ultimately among the bishops who failed their flock by thinking
like managers instead of apostles.But, Weigel reminds us, in the
Biblical world a "crisis" is also a time of great opportunity, an
invitation to deeper faith. With honesty and critical rigor, Weigel
sets forth an agenda for genuine reform that challenges clergy and
laity alike to lead more integrally Catholic lives. More than just
a response to recent failures, The Courage to Be Catholic is a
bracing, forward-looking call to action, and a passionate embrace
of life lived in faith.
