CATHOLICS AT A CROSSROADS
Coverup, crisis, and cure
by Eileen P. Flynn, Ph.D. |
|
|
|
|
|
How many wounding headlines will it take to force the
Catholic Church to permanently cure its institutional
corruption? |
|
|
|
|
|
More than 60 million Catholics in the U.S. are faced with the
decision to demand changes or deliberately look the other way.
“The corrupt administration of the Church is distinctly
separate from the issues of Catholic beliefs and practices,”
says Dr. Eileen P. Flynn, theologian, professor, and author of
CATHOLICS AT A CROSSROADS: COVERUP, CRISIS, AND CURE.
“At the root of this problem, you will find startling
similarities between Catholic leadership and corrupt
administrations like Enron and WorldCom. It’s time to
understand how from-the-altar Church beliefs differ from
behind-the-church-door politics and bureaucratic decisions.
It’s a tragic reality that in the business of faith, some of
our leaders have actively abused our trust in them. It’s time
for Catholics to clean up corruption and sin by starting with
our own leaders and our own institution.”
CATHOLICS AT A CROSSROADS: COVERUP, CRISIS, AND CURE
boldly blows the whistle on institutional corruption, clearly
describing the ugly reality of a dysfunctional institution and
defining what went wrong with the Catholic church’s
administration. Author Eileen P. Flynn, Ph.D focuses on the
sexual molestation of minors by priests, and carefully
examines the shocking crisis that developed when corrupt
cardinals and bishops routinely tried to cover up
Catholicism’s most harrowing scandals. Dr. Flynn is
uncompromising in the quest to unveil the truth about Church
corruption. She is equally steadfast in the search to pinpoint
ways for Catholics to recover and heal from the crisis. |
