Publisher's Note
In this engrossing account, Jim Naughton examines the role of the laity in determining Church practices and the issues of abortion, homosexuality, divorce, and the celibacy of the clergy. All are brought to bear in this revealing, trenchant look at the anger and dissent that threatens to separate many more American Catholics from their church. Washington D.C. s Holy Trinity Church, one of the most prominent and popular churches in the nation, has long been known as a refuge for liberal Catholics, and a place where Post-Vatican II Catholicism is at its most vital. When a lone parishioner stands up through a Sunday Mass to protest the exclusion of women from the priesthood, he ignites a fire-storm of controversy that exposes deep rifts and threatens to tear the community apart. Using The Standing, as it comes to be called, and the subsequent events at Holy Trinity, Jim Naughton examines the issues confronting American Catholics everywhere, men and women who want to practice their faith but cannot find a clear way to reconcile it with the teachings of the Church of Rome. In this engrossing chronicle, Naughton gets to the heart of much wider issues, and exposes the system of uniquely American social views that are at odds with much of Catholic doctrine. The emerging role of the laity in determining Church practices, the issues of abortion, homosexuality, divorce, and celibacy of the clergy, are all brought to bear in this revealing, trenchant look at the anger and dissent that threatens to separate many more American Catholics from their church.
Industry reviews
"The libidinal urge is at the root of almost every issue that sets the American laity against the hierarchy...[w]hether the subject is...homosexuality, divorce...or the dominion of a celibate male hierarchy." These issues were personalized in 1992 at Holy Trinity parish, Washington D.C. While the well-educated, well-heeled parishioners protested the church's shabby treatment of women, homosexuals, divorced Catholics, and the poor, the pastor was besieged by diocesan leaders intent on suppressing all criticism from clerics and laity. Naughton, formerly a reporter with the Washington Post and the New York Times, focuses on individuals most affected by the church's repressive attitudes and actions and he names names, dramatizing conflicts that continue to rage in Catholic circles. Not only for religious collections, this work is an apt addition to libraries concerned with late-20th-century American morals and values. Nancy M. Laskowski, The Free Library of Philadelphia Ives Browsers of this book may be immediately reminded of last year's Congregation by Gary Dorsey or this spring's What God Allows by Ivor Shapiro. In all three, a journalist looks at the church here, as in Shapiro's book, the Catholic church through the focused lens of a particular congregation minutely observed over the course of a year. Known for progressive lay leadership, Georgetown's Holy Trinity church saw a showdown when its peace-loving pastor could not reconcile several contentious factions in the parish, or the goals of the parish with the goals of the bishop. Beginning with one man's stand for women's ordination, conflicts soon erupted over what Naughton calls most of "the emotionally charged issues convulsing American Catholicism" social justice, sex education, divorce, homosexuality and, especially, the conflict between democratic and hierarchical authority in the church. More than a well-plotted story, this book offers thoughtful analysis of a parish, and a church, in crisis. (Oct.) Lopate
