Title: Required reading for today's Catholics
Review: George Weigel's impeccable theological credentials and extraordinary ability to express his ideas in the vernacular have produced a desperately needed review of the current crisis in the US Catholic Church. It is clear enough to be understood by non-Catholics and written in a way that individual chapters on specific issues can be read and quoted independently without losing their context.Mr. Weigel's theological and practical knowledge are partnered in a way that looks at the priesthood and the church hierarchy from many angles while remaining firmly rooted in the essentials: The teachings and example of Jesus,the first Priest, the head of the church and the architect of it's structure.I will use this book as an essential tutorial to explain the issues of the current scandal, its origins and solutions to family, friends and anyone with a serious interest in these vital and agonizing issues that affect not just Catholics but all of us.
Is the review positive or negative?
