Description

This scholarly examination investigates how the Catholic Church in the United States has managed public communication and rhetoric following major sexual abuse scandals, whilst navigating the complex challenge of retaining political influence amid eroded public trust. The book provides critical analysis of how large institutional organisations respond to crises that damage their moral authority and reputation. It examines the public statements and strategies employed by Catholic clergy during these scandals, revealing how their responses have often failed to satisfy both Church supporters and critics. Drawing on rhetorical analysis, the work explores the tension between the Church's continued significance as a political force in American life and the substantial reputational damage inflicted by these revelations. This work is essential reading for scholars of religion, political communication, organisational crisis management and those interested in understanding how institutions attempt to preserve authority and influence when facing public accountability for serious institutional failures.
