Shaken by the ongoing clergy sexual abuse scandal, and challenged from within by social and theological division, American Catholics are at a crossroads. O'Toole tells the story of this ancient church from the perspective of ordinary people, the lay believers who have kept their faith despite persecution from without and clergy abuse from within.
