Will Catholics survive? In a changing church, stripped of authority, lacking old rules, will members disperse? Read what's happening in this book: personal revelations from one-on-one interviews with Ted Kennedy, Andrew Greeley, Alexander Haig, Mother Angelica, Peter Grace, Jacqueline Grennan, Archbishop Mahony and others. "A very impressive book."—Robert Drinan, former Congressman "If the Catholic Church in America ever needed defining, this may be the moment. Linda Brandi Cateura does quite a job of getting a diverse group of Catholics to talk. A varied, often surprising look by Catholics at themselves. And what an outstanding contribution by Ted Kennedy, who says he once considered the priesthood!"—James Brady, novelist and columnist
