Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
Any honest look at church history will acknowledge that there have been faults—often grievous faults—perpetrated by those within the Catholic Church at every level. What does this mean with regards to the Catholic claim that the church is “holy”? Rather that glossing over these unfortunate episodes, the International Theological Commission confronts this problem and what it means for the identity of the church. Basing their approach on scripture, the commission draws out how forgiveness can and should be sought for these sins of the past in order to build bridges with various other groups of people.
