How does one become a bishop in the Catholic Church? Electing our
Bishops: How the Catholic Church Should Choose Its Leaders explains
how history, politics, and religious tradition converge to produce
the episcopacy. The book gives an historical overview from the
earliest times when bishops were elected by the clergy and people
of the diocese to the present day where they are normally appointed
by the pope. In light of the current clergy sexual abuse scandal,
many distinguished theologians, canonists, and church historians
have called for greater popular participation in the selection of
bishops, and Electing our Bishops discusses ideas for new forms of
election that involve both clergy and laity. This book is an
important tool for Catholics who want to understand the history and
process of the election of bishops as well as how the process might
change in the future.
