Over the past ten years divisions within the Catholic Church have ripened into hatred and contempt, and the Vatican is making scant attempt to heal the rift. In this magisterial book John Cornwell examines the state of the Church throughout the world, and warns that on the death of Pope John Paul II a major schism will occur unless his successor can reconcile conservatives and liberals. The role of women; the split between teaching and practice on sexual morals; the changing face of the priesthood: all are examined in this riveting and timely survey.

Synopsis:
During the 1990s and into the 21st century, divisions within the Catholic Church have ripened into hatred and contempt and the Vatican is making little or no attempt to heal the antagonism. This text surveys the state of the Church throughout the world and suggests that a major schism in the Church is imminent unless the papacy determines to heal the rifts between conservatives and liberals, orthodoxy and pluralism. Amongst other things, the survey examines the role of women, the split between teaching and practice on sexual morals and the changing face of the priesthood.
About the Author:

His books A THIEF IN THE NIGHT: THE DEATH OF POPE JOHN PAUL I and HITLER'S POPE: THE SECRET HISTORY OF PIUS XII were both bestsellers worldwide. John Cornwell lives in Cambridge and Northamptonshire.
