description: Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R. Our Lord Jesus Christ warned His will necessarily come and make people fall;but woe to the one who has brought it about - Luke 17:1. The Catholic Church in the United States is facing what may be its greatest challenge. The deeds of a small percentage of priests and the consequent scandal have caused some to question their Faith. ? Priests are discouraged. ? Some are falsely accused. ? Bishops are shaken. ? Many Catholics are humiliated and demoralized. What will happen next? Best-selling author Fr. Benedict Groeschel provides a piercing and forthright examination of the roots of the current troubles, both within and without the Catholic Church. Calling upon the example of St. Francis, the founder of the rule he and his fellow Franciscans observe, Fr. Benedict encourages all of us to rebuild the Church, which is falling into ruin. Pray. Pray for the Church, and pray for the victims, and pray for our enemies. Let us pray that out of this darkness will come a more purified and better Church here in the United States. - Fr. Benedict Groeschel
