Blending a historians skill and dispassion with his own very relevant experiences in a fraught atmosphere  he provides a rare look at what happened then and what must happen now  to re-establish confidence and trust.  \"If Catholics are to learn from this mess and set forth on the path of healing and renewal  they would do well to pay close attention to Father Chinnicis astute analysis and evaluation of the greatest challenge to Romanc Catholicism in decades  if not centuries.\" -R. Scott Appleby  University of Notre Dame  \"There is no better analysis of church leadership and the sexual abuse scandals....Chinnicis study is theologically grounded  psychologically informed  and thoroughly pastoral.\" -Donald Cozzens  author  the Changing Face of the Priesthood  \"No one is better qualified to draw enduring lessons from the clergy sexual abuse crisis than Joseph Chinnici. Priest  historian  and administrator  he offers his own knowledge and experience to help the Church restore the shattered bonds of trust. This book is an important contribution toward healing.\" -James M. OToole  Boston College  \"In my estimation  this is a great contribution to the Churchs reflection on sexual abuse scandals in the Church. The experience of Father Chinnici  as a Provincial Minister of the Franciscan Friars  and his reflections based on his Franciscan heritage are a most valuable insight into the challenges of leadership in these times.\" -Most Reverend John F. Kinney  Bishop of St. Cloud\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966664110133,"sku":"ByrdShop_1570758735","price":31.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781570758737.jpg?v=1770573612","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/when-values-collide-the-catholic-church-sexual-abuse-and-the-challenges-of-leadership","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
