Crisis and Challenge in the Roman Catholic Church
Lexington Books (Verlag)
978-1-7936-0493-4 (ISBN)
This volume explores the historical, theological, sociological, and ethical dimensions of the current issues threatening the two thousand-year-old Roman Catholic Church. The interdisciplinary analysis contained within the volume exposes the destructive convictions and actions of the Roman Catholic clergy that has produced the current institutional crisis while suggesting options for moving forward. Documenting the cases that constitute the many crises currently surrounding Catholicism, the volume aims to provide clarity and conscience. At the same time, with a constructive vision of an ethics and religious practice rooted in integrity and transparency, the authors offer a path towards holistic and holy reformation by and for Catholics.
Debra Meyers is professor at Northern Kentucky University, teaching a variety of courses in gender studies, history, and religious studies. Mary Sue Barnett is Catholic woman priest, ordained by the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests.
