"John Meehan's TWO TOWERS is a carefully reasoned, deeply felt, and frequently moving analysis of the present-day crisis of the Catholic Church and what must be done to respond to the challenge. It deserves a place in the growing body of literature that not only urges the authentic renewal of the Church according to the mind of Vatican Council II, but cogently explains how to carry it out."
– RUSSELL SHAW
In his first homily as pope on April 19th, 2005, Benedict XVI said:
"I ... wish to affirm with force my decided will to pursue the commitment to enact Vatican Council II ... "
In Two Towers John Meehan gives a detailed plan for this enactment! But first he uncovers the deep-seated historicaland cultural roots of the crisis in the Catholic Church in America - showing how the Two Towers of Faith and Morals have been separated. Mr. Meehan makes the case that the crisis will be resolved with the true implementation of Vatican Council II - especially with respect to the laity, catechesis, and liturgy.
Mr. Meehan's message is one that gives both
understanding and hope. He draws upon his personal experiences, the writings of Church Fathers, contemporaries, and the popes - especially the writings of John Paul II, and the future Pope Benedict XVI (during his tenure as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith).
