Summary
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. 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, a pattern of cover-up of that abuse by the church's authorities. In this text, John L. Allen, Jr, offers an authoritative and accessible primer on the Church today.
