Just in time for the “Year for Priests,” Paul Josef Cardinal Cordes, the president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum and a close friend of Pope Benedict XVI, offers a wide-ranging view of the priesthood which draws on the Holy Father’s thinking and scholarship over a period of fifty years. “Why Priests?” by Paul Josef Cardinal Cordes covers four major themes: origins of priesthood, development through the history of the Church, the limitations and problems faced by priests, and finally, personal faith and the Church’s salvific means. Through these reflections in “Why Priests?” by Paul Josef Cardinal Cordes the author offers a deeper understanding of the Catholic priesthood which is sure to be helpful for the priest and his parish, the seminarian and his ambience, as well as all those interested in the priestly ministry and the Church’s decision-making process.
