A priest for nine years in the Catholic Church, Christopher Meade resigned when he could no longer reconcile the humility and love that are central to the Catholic faith with the secrecy and denial infecting the hierarchy. The Catholic Church is one of the most durable and far-reaching institutions in human history but in the aftermath of the worldwide sexual abuse scandal, the Church's prestige and credibility---along with the faith of its followers---have been put to the test.

In this collection of candid essays on iconic figures in Catholicism, Meade explores his journey of faith, confronts the hypocrisy and turmoil in the Church, and proposes solutions that will provoke informed dialogue, greater openness, and intelligent reform. The essays examine two vital faces of Catholic culture---dynamism and dysfunction. The Church continues to stir the minds and hearts of people of faith. Icons & Iconoclasts will reward you with remarkable insights on Catholic customs, culture and history.
