Moving beyond surface-level explanations, this timely and courageous book draws on insights from a wide range of secular disciplines—including organizational behavior, sociology, economics, and psychology—to diagnose the deep structural and cultural forces that have allowed clerical abuse and cover-ups to persist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eAt the heart of the analysis is clericalism itself: a system of rules, incentives, and unchecked authority that distorts accountability and impedes meaningful change. By tracing how these mechanisms function within Church life, the author offers not only a sharp critique but also a constructive path forward—one that prioritizes transparency, shared responsibility, and the dignity of all the faithful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eBoth urgent and hopeful, \u003cem\u003eClericalism\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for those committed to the renewal of the Church, including lay leaders, clergy, theologians, and anyone seeking to understand—and help heal—the institutional wounds of Catholicism today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: none;\"\u003eC.
