| Summary |
"We have to look at the truth head-on: the priesthood seems to be failing. The priesthood, its status, its mission, and its authority have been placed at the service of the worst crimes... The search for worldly glory, power, honors, early pleasures, and money has infiltrated the hearts of priests, bishops, and cardinals. How can we tolerate such deeds without trembling, without weeping, without asking ourselves probing questions?"--Page [4] of cover. |
