The Courage To Be Catholic: Crisis, Reform, and the Future of the Church was published in September 2002 by Basic Books and went into its eighth printing in January 2003. Made available by the publisher to every bishop in the United States, Courage helped shape the bishops’ debate at their November 2002 meeting; several bishops have made bulk purchases for distribution to their priests, deacons, and seminarians. Courage has also been widely read in the Vatican. A Spanish edition will appear in late 2003.
