The Catholic Church
Roman Catholicism stands at a crossroads, a classic ''best of times, worst of times'' moment. On the one hand, the Catholic Church remains by far the largest branch of the worldwide Christian family, and is growing at a remarkable clip. Yet the Church has also been rocked by a series of scandals related to the sexual abuse of minors by clergy, and, even more devastating, the cover-up by the Church hierarchy. The decade-long crisis has taken a massive financial toll, but the blow to both the internal morale and the external moral standing of the Church has been even steeper. Today, the Church has enormous residual strength and exciting future prospects, but also faces steep internal and external challenges. The question of ''whither Catholicism'' is of vital public relevance, for believers and non-believers alike. In The Catholic Church: What Everyone Needs to Know®, John L. Allen, Jr., one of the world's leading authorities on the Vatican, offers an authoritative and accessible guide to the past, present, and future of the Church What Everyone Needs to Know® is a registered trademark of Oxford University Press.

In the name of God
In the Name of God - Who Knew What When? will take the readers back to the beginning of the 2002 Catholic Church sex scandal implosion that ricocheted across the globe like breaking dominoes. Author Christine Dolan was there from before the break in the damn as an investigative journalist. Originally from Boston, and raised in a prominent Catholic family, Dolan was able to discover information that even the Massachusetts prosecutors were ignorant of in early January 2002. Her sources went deep inside the Church and when she realized the Church thought they were protected by Canon Law, she dug deeper into the criminal model whose goal was to protect the Church at all costs. Prosecutors were negotiating with Cardinal Law's lawyers. She told them to pivot and seize the "historical secret archives" regardless of the statute of limitation hurdles so they understood the roadmap. Dolan proved with documentation that the Church leadership had documents going back to the 3rd century. The Church collected their own evidence, created rehab centers, moved priests not from just from parish to parish domestically, but across international borders. It is a riveting investigation how the tools o
