Why hasn't the Catholic Church been more successful up to now in realizing the Second Vatican Council's call for the evangelization of secular culture? Why hasn't the Gospel been preached more forthrightly to the modern world? The most important reason, as well as the least recognized, may be clericalism: the attitude, widely shared by Catholic laypeople as well as many priests, that clerics make up the active, elite corps in the Church, and laypeople are the passive mass; that clerics alone have intrinsic responsibility for the Church's mission while the apostalate of laypeople comes to them (if they come at all) only by delegation on the part of the clergy.To Hunt, To Shoot, To Entertain probes the theological and historical roots of this clericalist mentality as it has affected the Catholic laity, along with contemporary expressions of clericalism--the over-involvement of some clerics in secular politics, the sometimes exaggerated emphasis given to "lay ministers," and certain aspects for the feminist movement in today's Catholicism. This is not another revisionist attack on the priesthood, not one more alienated voice from the pews. Instead the book offers a prescription for authentic ecclesial renewal based on new, healthier lay-clergy relations in light of the teaching of Vatican II, Pope John Paul II, and other voices of the Magisterium. It presents a positive vision of a Church in which laypeople and clergy regard one another with mutual respect as partners in her mission to the world, with indispensable, contemporary tasks arising from their own special vocations.

Searching for answers in the midst of the sexual abuse crisis in the church, many blamed the clerical culture. But what exactly is this clerical culture? We may know it when we see it, but how can we 'whether clergy or laypeople 'go about dismantling it and putting in place a new, healthy culture? George Wilson has spent decades working with organizations to help them discover, and often recover, their foundational calling. He is also a Jesuit priest engaged in the lives of congregations. In Clericalism: The Death of Priesthood he brings together both capacities and gives his sense of the challenges facing the church. As members of the church, Wilson maintains, we are all responsible for creating a clerical culture. And we are also responsible for that culture's transformation. Clericalism aids this transformation by helping us examine some underlying attitudes that create and preserve destructive relationships between ordained and laity. After looking at the crisis and establishing where we are now, this book challenges us with concrete suggestions for changing behaviors. We are lay and ordained, but all baptized into the royal priesthood of 1 Peter 2:9, all called to spread the Gospel and do the work of God's love in the world. Ultimately, this is a hopeful book, looking for the restoration of a genuine priesthood, free of clericalism, in which we become truly united in Christ..

The Catholic church is in serious decline. This book claims that the corruption of the institution derives from various "clerical errors," especially clericalism, which assumes that clergy are superior and deserve privileges. Clericalism divides the church into two unequal classes, betraying the gospel, which teaches that all people are equal. Clerical privilege makes the sexual abuse of children more likely, and has led most bishops to conceal it. Clerical Errors begins by examining the trials and acquittal of Cardinal Pell. Was it the jury who made a grave error--or was it the cardinal? Other chapters look at worldwide sexual abuse of children by Catholic clergy and traumatic impacts on survivors. What might have caused this tragedy? The institutional nature of the church? Defective Canon Law? Misuse of the sacrament of Confession? Compulsory celibacy? Homosexuality? The book's last, hopeful chapter proposes a radical but simple model for restoring the Christian church.

Clericalism is everywhere in the Christian life and perhaps not where you might expect. It elevates certain models, vocations, or ways of being Church in such a way as to diminish others. In 'Priesthood for all Believers, Fr Simon Cuff argues that a radical focus on the particularity of vocation and intentionality of living out vocation are central tools in the Church’s tool box to stop clericalism in its tracks. Some attempts to be less clericalist by doing away with certain forms of ministry can, he suggests, encourage clericalism. One of the best ways to overcome clericalism is a more intentional focus on particular ministries and the particular ministry of the ordained. Exploring these particular ministries afresh, grounded on Christ’s priesthood and the importance of a diaconal commission to overcome processes of marginalisation, this book offers a vital perspective both for those preparing for ministry and those trying to make better sense of the ministry they already hold.

Clericalism broadly describes an attitude within the churches, especially the Catholic Church, where all authority (and power) is vested in ordained clergy - bishops and priests - to the general exclusion of lay people especially women. The current Pope Francis has declared it a 'the ugliest perversion of the Church', declaring that it perverts Catholic understanding of the church's structures and ministry, especially since the Second Vatican Council. Call no one father by a concerned and educated 'person in the pew' considers how clericalism might be countered, basing her approach on sound educational principles that, hopefully, will lead all Catholics, including clergy, to an understanding of authority more in keeping with the ministry of Jesus.

THE CLERICAL SCANDAL OF SEXUAL-ABUSE and coverups, caused by a significant minority of the episcopacy and presbyterate of the Roman Catholic Church, has precipitated a strategic intellectual debate. On one side, the so-called 'conservative' intellectual diagnosis blames what some see as a broad presence within the contemporary Western Roman Catholic clergy of persons with homosexual tendencies. On the other side, the so-called 'progressive' intellectual diagnosis blames "Clericalism," which it sees only as a problematic psychological attitude, or an authoritarian, non-transparent, and unaccountable organizational culture, or both. This small book has not been written to defend either side of that debate, but rather to understand how Roman Catholic Clericalism is a systemic institution. Even so, it is important to state that any 'conservative' scapegoating of persons with a homosexual orientation for the clerical sexual-abuse and coverup scandals, as if homosexuality itself were the cause, blasphemes the image of God in those among us with a homosexual orientation. All human persons, regardless of sexual orientation, carry the beauty and dignity of our loving Creator's sacred image. It is also important to state that, while the 'progressive' diagnosis is correct at the surface level, it nonetheless fails to unveil the deep root of Clericalism as an historically legislated and non-evangelical institution, which inevitably regenerates problems and even pathologies for each successive clerical generation. The 'progressive' diagnosis also fails to explore how the non-evangelical institution of Roman Catholic Clericalism was historically constructed by imperial, papal, and conciliar legislation over more than a millennium and a half, and how it is now undermining the Western Catholic evangelization. Deepening the analysis of Clericalism to its foundational and tenacious institutional level is the purpose of this small book. JOE HOLLAND is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy & Religion from Saint Thomas University in Miami Gardens, Florida. He is also President of Pax Romana / Catholic Movement for Intellectual & Cultural Affairs USA, based in Washington DC. The author of 17 other books, he holds a PhD, from the University of Chicago.
