A graduate textbook on the philosophical and theological aspects of the Priesthood in the Catholic Church. The bishop and their assistants, the priests, participate to different degrees in the priesthood of Jesus Christ. The focus here is more on the priest. There is both the rich and profound theological background to this question as well as the shattering distraction of scandal. This background is based on Vatican II, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and other major authors. The book also treats liturgy, spirituality, the intellectual life and even the life of Saint John Vianney, the Patron of Pastors.
