The Catholic Church has never been so deeply immersed in crisis - crisis of authority, priestly scandal, celibacy, hierarchy - stretching right up to the Vatican itself. Most people in authority are keeping quiet or squabbling among themselves. Mark Dooley is a Professor of Philosophy who is also a serious commentator, journalist and broadcaster. He has written a book of hope for those who have none. It is, he argues, only when the sacramental life of the local parishes is revitalised that renewal in the Church can be achieved".

Format:Paperback
Excellent and well-written book that is easy to read and timely in its release. Mark Dooley puts the record straight on many misunderstandings and prejudices against Pope Benedict XVI and the Catholic Church and powerfully shows that the Catholic Church represents Truth, Beauty and Love and through the Sacraments and Authoritative, Authentic teaching ensures that the will of Jesus Christ is faithfully carried on in the world today. Essential reading.

Mark Dooley has written a very comprehensive book that truly addresses the major causes of disaffection with the Catholic Church. It addresses the sex crisis that has been exploited by the media and comes to the question of What can we do as Ordained Priests and Deacons as well as Laity. Excellent book, I recommend it highly.
