Welcome to The Canadian Forum on Theology and Education 2013

A Catholic Church in crisis means Catholic school and parish systems in crisis. Vatican II was an invitation to a new way of thinking and a new way of being for the Church. Unfortunately the senior clerical servants of the Catholic Church have lost their way (the sexual abuse scandal is but one example) and have strayed from the invitation and vision of Blessed Pope John XXIII and the bishops and theologians of Vatican II.

"If you care at all about the future of the Catholic Church in the West Michael Crosby turns a penetrating light on the ecclesial and secular shadows enveloping the post-Vatican II church. His astute analysis of our broken church is followed by a blueprint for repair grounded in the liberating and compassionate wisdom of the Gospel. We ignore him at our own peril."
Fr.Donald Cozzens, author of Faith That Dares to Speak

"A piercing and compelling analysis of the contemporary Roman Catholic Church in the Northern hemisphere. Michael Crosby presents us with an Institution living in apocalyptic times, along with a renewed and fervent call to "Repair My house". Provocative, honest and thoughtful for any Catholic committed to renewal and a more meaningful and faithful model of church for our quantum age."
Edwina Gateley, poet, author, international public speaker

"We must not stone the prophets, instead we must listen to them! Michael Crosby speaks Gospel truth in ways that must be heard. Further, he says it in a way that can be heard by honest seekers of truth and lovers of God. Michael is both!"
Fr.Richard Rohr,O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation, Albuquerque, New Mexico
