Story Behind The Book
As you are reading this, a storm of controversy swirls around the Catholic clergy, whose numbers include both saints and sinners. What guides the hands that can consecrate the Body of Christ and then defile the bodies of children? The paradoxes of the clergy -- puzzles that include flawed love and intimacy gone to Hell. Where does God walk in such a crowd? The Bible and catechism speak clearly about the black and white, but what about the gray? Where is God in the gray?
