The Californer/10317583

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson challenges Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church stance on gays, women, sexual abusive priests, celibacy, and abortion. These are, says Hutchinson, the five tormenting issues that have roiled the Catholic Church from the Vatican to the Catholic faithful in controversy.

Hutchinson speaks from first-hand experience within and without the Catholic Church. He is a textbook product of Catholic education and upbringing. He was baptized and confirmed and witnessed countless confirmations and baptisms. He attended Catholic grade school and high school. He was a choir and alter aide. He attended numerous special masses, and pageants. He was a participant in numerous Catholic Bible study groups, confessionals, conferences, and a donor to Catholic charities.

Hutchinson contends the Catholic Church's five mortal sins have constantly embroiled the Vatican and Catholics everywhere in rancor, division, and controversy through the tenure of multiple Popes. This provoked a deep moral and societal soul search. He takes a laser look at how these contentious issues have garnered increasing acceptance among a growing number of Catholics and have ignited fierce opposition from many other Catholics.

He assesses Pope Francis's efforts at reforms in doctrinal teachings and practices and assesses whether Leo XIV would continue or depart from them. Hutchinson paints a revealing picture of a Catholic Church at the crossroads in its effort to come to grips with the significant issues that have done much to divide the church.

In Combatting the Catholic Church's Five Mortal Sins, Hutchinson provides a hard-hitting analysis of the question whether the church will maintain its centuries old, revered position as a moral and social force among its 1. 4 billion Catholics throughout the 21^st Century. Leo XIV will be just the latest in the line of men at the top of the Catholic Church hierarchy to grapple with this question. He likely won't be the last.
