The Faithful Departed

The Collapse of Boston’s Catholic Culture

The Faithful Departed is the best book-length treatment of the sex abuse crisis, its origins and larger implications, published to date.”

Richard John Neuhaus
First Things

Some in the Church dismiss the abuse scandal as “old news.” It isn’t. To understand the scandal’s still-unaddressed causes and grasp the magnitude of its aftershocks, Phil Lawler’s unflinching account is essential reading.

George Neumayr
Editor, Catholic World Report

Faithful Departed is a compelling pathology report of the dereliction of duty of bishops in Boston. It calls to accountability any man who dares to accept the call to Holy Orders. The historical facts alone will sting consciences. Lawler’s masterful analysis is sobering and provides an urgent incentive for authentic renewal.

Rev. Jerry Pokorsky
Co-Founder, Adoremus
