An important new book from OSV:
Pope Benedict XVI and the Sexual Abuse Crisis

From Our Sunday Visitor publisher Greg Erlandson and editor/author Dr. Matthew Bunson, a new book that takes an honest, critical, and Catholic look at the criticism of Pope Benedict XVI and his response to the sexual abuse crisis.

The book is a groundbreaking, critically objective assessment of the criticism facing the pope as well as a review of his real response to the victims, abusers, bishops, media, and the millions of Catholics worldwide who continue to be justifiably horrified by the scandal. The first and foremost objective for this book is the truth -- no matter how difficult to face -- and letting the pope's record speak for itself.

Books from Pope Benedict XVI

The Fathers of the Church exhorted believers in the face of persecution while fighting heresies and misunderstandings. They were theologians and philosophers, orators and pastors, leaders and problem solvers, martyrs and heroes.

Pope Benedict carefully explains the stories of their rich history and the vital role each one played in not only preserving the Church at the time, but anchoring the Church of today as well as the future. More on this book here»
