Based on a survey sent out to Catholic clergy in the UK, this study is a major contribution from empirical theology towards interpreting the health and potential of the priesthood today. The issues raised by this new study concern the nature and health of the priesthood, a topic of most urgent concern at a time of clerical scandal and abuse. The conclusions of this book are extremely revealing but fundamentally positive for anyone concerned with the future of the Christian Church at the start of a new millennium.

Description: A brilliant new study of the priesthood based on a huge survey of the attitudes and the values among the clergy today. At a time when the role of priests and ministers is questioned as never before, this book is essential reading.
