Hurting In The Church: A Way Forward for Wounded Catholic by Father Thomas Berg
Far
too many Catholics have had painful experiences in the Church, and
many have simply opted to walk away. Fr. Berg opens his book with the
story of the painful and life-changing crisis he experienced in the
Church that ultimately, against the odds, led him to love the Church
more intensely notwithstanding the sinfulness of its members. Along
with his own story, Fr. Berg intertwines the stories of other
Catholics who have themselves experienced life-changing hurts, but
who, in Jesus, found healing. Riding the momentum of the Year of
Mercy, Fr. Berg offers these reflections as a necessary examination
of conscience, and a clarion call to Catholics to become healers of
an ailing inner culture of our Church, to heed Pope Francis s call to
incite a revolution of tenderness in our faith communities.
Ultimately, this book is about hope for wounded believers: If you
have been hurt in the Church, Jesus can take you on a journey through
your wounds, a journey of healing that will make you an even better
human being, a better Christian, and a better disciple.
