This is a timely and compelling book. Paul Dokecki rightly begins his search into the church's sexual crisis in his own diocese, with careful first-hand research, and builds from there. His mastery of the literature and media coverage is impressive. His conclusions envision a church fulfilling the promise of Vatican II. Bishops, cardinals and leaders of the Roman Curia would do well to read this book. So, indeed, would the Pope. - Jason Berry, author of Lead Us Not into Temptation: Catholic Priests and the Sexual Abuse of Children and coauthor (with Gerald Renner) of the forthcoming Vows of Silence: The Abuse of Power in the Papacy of John Paul II; Dokecki chronicles the devastating delinquencies of the priest-pedophilia crisis; and he maps necessary steps the Church must take toward credibility and integrity. He takes his readers from the shadowy secrets of the chancery to a Church illumined by the wisdom of God's people. Clear prose and a clean proposal. Anyone looking for solutions to the pedophilia crisis ought to read this book. - Edward Vacek, S.J., professor of moral theology, Weston Jesuit School of Theology, and author of Love, Human and Divine: The Heart of Christian Ethics
