| Summary |
The ongoing crisis in the Catholic Church has revealed certain truths: truths in the memories of abused children and adolescents, and truths about the church's response--or lack of response--to evidence about the behavior of some of its priests. But the author argues that for true reform to occur, the truth telling in the Christian churches must go much farther and deeper than this. Christians, he says, must try to speak truths to one another about the regulations, customs, and fictions that allow the Roman church to operate; and about the same-sex desire within Catholic structures of clerical power, and the church's devices for silencing these conversation. |
