The Catholic Church is deep in crisis and scandal. A highly intelligent, articulate Irish commentator provides hope, encouraging people to see beyond current problems.

The Catholic Church has never been so deeply immersed in crisis - crisis of authority, priestly scandal, celibacy, hierarchy - stretching right up to the Vatican itself.

Most people in authority are keeping quiet or squabbling among themselves.

Mark Dooley is a Professor of Philosophy who is also a serious commentator, journalist and broadcaster. He has written a book of hope for those who have none. It is, he argues, only when the sacramental life of the local parishes is revitalised that renewal in the Church can be achieved.

Industry Reviews

[a] beautifully written book... In the times in which we live, to write as Dooley has done takes courage. As you read this book you may be edified, you may be enraged; one thing you won't be is bored.
[Mark Dooley is] well-qualified to get to the heart of the matters that trouble so many today: why bother with being a Catholic.
