Pope Benedict XVI and the Sexual Abuse Crisis
Our Sunday Visitor, 2010. 208 pages, $12.95 paperback

The Church in the U.S. has been living in the shadow of the clerical sexual abuse crisis since 1985. There has been a rush by some, both inside and outside the Church, to place direct blame upon Pope Benedict, who has played a pivotal role in the Vatican’s response to the crisis. The authors offer a critically objective look at the criticism facing the Pope as well as a review of his response to the victims, abusers, bishops, media and millions of Catholics around the world.
