The Courage to be Catholic, by George Weigel

The Catholic Church in America is in a state of crisis. But what does the crisis really involve? Where did it come from? And how might the Church turn crisis into opportunity?

Bestselling author and theologian George Weigel argues that the path to genuine Catholic reform does not lie in accommodating the truth to the spirit of the age, but in a renewed commitment to living the fullness of Catholic faith.

Annotation: When sexual scandals rocked the American Catholic Church, many observers called on the church to abandon its tenets on the vocation of the priesthood and sexuality outside marriage. Acclaimed theologian and bestselling author George Weigel saw the scandals as a crisis of fidelity to the true essence of Catholicism. More than just a response to recent failures, "The Courage to Be Catholic" is his bracing, forward-looking call to action, and a passionate embrace of life lived in faith.
