Governance, Accountability, and the Future of the Catholic Church

Klappentext In March 2003 leading historians! theologians! journalists! social scientists! and foundation executives met together at the St. Thomas More Catholic Center at Yale University to examine the current crisis facing the Catholic Church. The conference was a first in the Center's history and indicative of the size and scope of a crisis unprecedented in the American Catholic Church! namely! the revelations of sexual abuse by priests and the hierarchy's complicity. The aim of the conference was to heal and strengthen the church through a deeper understanding of governance! leadership! and the roles of the laity and clergy. The findings and recommendations of this important conference are published here for the first time.
