Description for Faith That Dares to Speak
Review Cozzens is bold in his writing , writing he describes as 'weighty and serious.Ministry & LiturgyDonald Cozzen's Faith That Dares to Speak is a poignantly honest, deeply caring, painfully direct post-pedophilia analysis of the present state of the Catholic church. At the same time, this book is different because more than simply revisit the pedophilia problem, it points out what the church must do to rebuild its place and moral suasion in this culture at this time. It puts its finger on the weaknesses of the system that led to this kind of internal debacle and names the pieces that must be replaced if the church is to rise from this scandal stronger than ever. It is easy for an institution to ignore this kind of social audit because it calls for more than public relations strategies; it calls for a total review of principles, purpose and internal practices. But you get the idea as you read it, that though ignore it we may, we do so at our peril. This book is a gift to the church. Joan Chittister, Benetvision, Erie,PAHis book is a serious contribution to the conversation taking place at this most critical time in the history of our church.National Catholic ReporterCourageous discipleship can renew our church,' Father Don Cozzens says, and laity, religious, clergy, and bishops alike are disciples. Both as a psychiatrist and as a Catholic college president, I praise his art of co-responsible dialogue at a time when so many voices fall into fruitless and counter-productive opposition. What American Catholics need�all of us together, and especially the rising generations�is a deeper, truer and more accountable unity in going forward. Cozzens opens doors and builds bridges in what has to be understood as genuine pastoral writing.Mary Jane England, M.D., President, Regis CollegeWith remarkable candor and courage, Fr. Donald Cozzens has issued a resounding challenge to the Catholic Church-the WHOLE church-to begin `a passionate conversation' between the laity, the clergy and the hierarchy.SALT. . . this is no ordinary book about the sexual abuse scandal that rocked the Catholic world.Ministry & LiturgyCozzens' book . . . has much to offer. Many Catholics in the United States have a growing sense that the Catholic Church is no longer speaking in a language and in a manner that addresses their needs and their hopes, but they don't know what to say or do to be heard. Cozzens offers them an affirmation of what they feel and a call to action to do something about it. EmmanuelThis is an important book. Its credibility is enhanced by the fact that the author, who so strongly advocates courage, integrity, and humility, has clearly demonstrated these virtues in his own writing. His voice rings true.Pastoral Music Read more About the Author Donald Cozzens--priest, writer, and lecturer--teaches in the religious studies department at John Carroll University.
