Catholic priests are rapidly becoming an en-dangered species. A Church that will need at least 72,000 clergy by the year 2005 will have one-third that number. And almost half of them will be 55 or older while only one-eighth will be 34 or younger. The Last Priests in America celebrates a heroic breed of men whose like we may never see again. Award-winning writer Tim Unsworth has come to know hundreds of priests in his joumalistic career. Here he selects forty-four of them and lets them bare their soûls. They include high-ranking clergy such as Chicago’s Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, noted priests such as Andrew M. Greeley, Richard P. McBrien, and John Tracy Ellis. But they also include the parish priest, the black and Latino priest, and the recovering alcoholic. Unsworth introduces us to a pastor who perforais 300 baptisms each weekend and a pastor in a ghetto rectory where the phone seldom rings and the bishop never visits; a priest who sold his chalice to help the poor; a priest with AIDS; and many more.
