The priesthood has proven resilient throughout history and is in no danger of disappearance, but does face enormous challenges. The rites, rituals, symbolism, and the role of the priest have undergone profound changes. The priesthood has been rocked with scandals that have weakened the bond between priests and bishops and has undermined the prestige of priesthood. Rev. Bleichner outlines ways for the priest to cope with this new situation.

Rev. Bleichner uses the historical critical method to give a unified vision of the faith. This method that has proven so effective in Biblical studies is equally adept at focusing on how our understanding of God, salvation and the Church fit together. This unified vision of the faith will strengthen the listener’s convictions and prepare the listener to more effectively explain the faith to others.
