Description: Richard Sipe examines the continuing sexual crisis facing the Catholic Church today. Has the storm of publicity and controversy caused the church to acknowledge any of the accusations? Will the church accept statistical evidence or alter the way it trains its clergy? How has it come to grips with reforming or retraining abusers? Has it acknowledged the spread of AIDS among its ranks? Why does the church oppress women and react with hostility and fear towards them?

Sex, Priests, and Power: Anatomy of a Crisis addresses these and other questions.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 195-210) and indexes.
