Breaking Grand Silence: A Former Catholic Priest Speaks Out

Description

He explores his doubts and experiences with the Catholic Church and his struggles to be himself yet still honor his twelve years of preparation for the priesthood. After serving two years as a priest, he decides to leave the Church and examine other religions. Amongst his spiritual discussions, Josaitis reflects on the Church's stance on issues including sex, women, and the rules of the priesthood. 'Marvin Josaitis shares his life and story of following the truth and finding that, indeed, 'the truth will make you free.' His moving story and its incredible events make a powerful call to the whole Church to begin that journey back to the radical truth of Jesus once more.' —Thomas J. Gumbleton, retired Auxiliary Bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit
