broken promises
With his skill as an Irish storyteller that was vividly evident in his prior books, Finbarr M Corr Ed. D., a former priest, reveals an important new window on what he describes as ‘the Church’s third major crisis since Jesus Christ established it on Simon Peter, the Rock.’ Drawing on decades of vital experience as a crusading priest, innovative family therapist, and provocative educator and author, Dr. Corr asks if the Church can survive its failure to follow through on the dictates of Vatican Council II which was initiated by Pope John XXIII to ‘open up the windows of the church and let in some fresh air.’
Boldy written, Broken Promises is an eloquent work that offers wise guidance to people of all faiths.
Finbarr Corr has written a book from the passion of his life and the depth of his pastorial eperience with people. Many readers, committed to Church reform, will find themselves and their hopes in these pages.
