Letter from the Publisher

Is today’s Church paralyzed by clerical interference or by a lack of vocations? Is the Church afflicted from priests who abuse their sacerdotal ministry of teaching, ruling and saving souls or of the lack thereof? These are crucial issues to which the average Catholic cannot be indifferent . . .

• Why did the Roman Catholic Church experience a sexual abuse crisis?
• Archbishop Cupich of Chicago, not long ago, spoke of the need for priests to focus on their baptismal vows rather than on their ordinations. Is this what we mean by clericalism?
