Description
Catholic priests in the U.S. and around the world are usually silent in discussing their superiors’ leadership relating to the child sexual abuse scandal. This nonfiction book, Priests’ Perceptions of the Leadership Styles of U.S. Catholic Bishops is a representation of rare but unique perspectives of the U.S. Catholic priests’ opinions of the bishops’ leadership styles in handling the child sexual abuse scandal. No other author has ever asked the question of the U.S. Catholic bishops’ leadership styles relating to the child sexual abuse scandal. The child sexual abuse scandal’s quagmire in the Catholic Church constitutes the question of leadership that the author examined in this book from the perspectives of transformational, transactional, charismatic, and servant-leadership styles. The author, Fr. Dr. Aloysius Ndeanaefo, traveled to the various areas within a Midwestern diocese interviewing priests as a way of gaining a deeper understanding of their opinions. Catholic leadership around the world needs to use the findings in this book to facilitate more effective leadership styles when handling and preventing similar future crises while collaborating with the clergy, the religious, the faithful, and the law enforcement officials in creating and sustaining awareness of child abuse prevention policies to avert future harms.
