Editor Noah Berlatsky has carefully curated a collection of several essays that fall on either side of controversies relating to the Catholic church. Is celibacy a necessary requirement of the priesthood? Should women be priests? Should gays be barred from the priesthood? Does homophobia lead to church sex abuse scandals? Should the church oppose embryonic stem cell research? Does the opposition to condoms endanger African women? These debates, plus several others, will activate each reader's critical thinking skills, and create an understanding about the importance of learning several viewpoints, not just one.
