Author Description

<b>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.</b><br/><br/>Most people in authority are keeping quiet or squabbling among themselves.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>It is, he argues, only when the sacramental life of the local parishes is revitalised that renewal in the Church can be achieved.
