Healing the Breach of Trust
Session 3

WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON? THE ROOT CAUSES OF THE CURRENT CRISIS

The sessions for this day are devoted to a deeper analysis, presenting competing views of the role of sexuality and of clericalism. These sessions are complemented by a panel of experts in organizational behavior, who help analyze the present crisis in these terms. Finally, a discussion roundtable of Catholic journalists from across the spectrum explore how these deeper analyses might be better reflected in the media narratives about what is really going on.
