Publisher's Synopsis
Since the controversial, some say invalid, resignation of Benedict XVI in 2013, faithful Catholics around the world have been forced to endure - even more so than in the decades following the Second Vatican Council - repeated attacks on long-established Church teachings by those who occupy positions of authority in Rome. Many of the radical changes that have been implemented are causing laity, as well as clergy, to question whether the Vatican is not only collaborating with but is under the direct influence of the enemies of Jesus Christ. This collection of essays written by journalist Stephen Kokx serves as a much-needed bright light for confused and concerned Catholics who are seeking answers in this particularly dark time in the life of the Church.Navigating the Crisis in the Church includes over 100 essays and has the following 10 chapters:
- Pope Francis
- Wayward Clergy
- The Latin Mass
- The Second Vatican Council
- Traditional Catholicism
- Catholic Social Teaching
- US Politics
- International Affairs
- Culture
- Family Life
"This collection of articles by Stephen Kokx is a precious opportunity for Catholics to lean out, so to speak, over the abyss of horrors and deviations that the conciliar church - today further evolved into a synodal church - has been digging for decades between the Hierarchy and the faithful. As Stephen Kokx rightly points out in the second part of the book, a similar gulf has been created between rulers and citizens, demonstrating that these divisions originate from the same errors and serve the same purposes." - Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, Former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States
