Archbishop: Inside the Power Structure of the… door Thomas J. Reese
The first inside look at the newsmakers who mold our religious and social attitudes--the archbishops of the American Catholic Church. ...." [from back cover]
Wow, what a book. The author, a Jesuit priest, provides an incredibly detailed look into how the church is organized and how it functions. I think the most profound observation he asserts is that the Church operates on a millenial perspective. It takes years - decades - centuries - to evolve and change, and that is part of the reason for its longevity.

Oreillynsf | 1 andere bespreking | Apr 6, 2010 | 3894. Inside the Vatican The Politics and Organization of the Catholic Church, by Thomas J. Reese (read 30 May 2004) This was published in 1996 but is still full of interesting things, with gossipy details about recent papal elections, and how things go at the Vatican, both during the current papacy and in the near past.
