Controversy about the Catholic priesthood is nothing new. Just like
laity, priests (including bishops and popes) have always been
sinners. Some priests, like some laity, have caused grave scandal
throughout the 2000-year history of the Church. Two questions arise
from this reality. Why did Jesus Christ establish a ministerial
priesthood for his Church, if the priesthood would sometimes cause
scandal what did he intend for the priesthood? Second, what has the
Catholic Church in past times done about scandal in the priesthood
how has the Church corrected its priests and encouraged priests to
lead lives of holiness? Amidst the noisy din of talking heads and
self-proclaimed experts, this book offers solid warnings and
directions about the priesthood from 15 saints of the past two
millennia. On the Priesthood serves as a readable guide for
priests, seminarians, and educated readers seeking to learn more
about the simultaneous unworthiness and dignity of the priesthood.
Always challenging and penetrating, the selections unite around one
key point; the need for holiness.
