Reviews

Papal Paralysis provides a scathing critique of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, focusing on the inaction of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI in response to the global public health crisis of HIV/AIDS.... [T]he book offers compelling analysis in a journalistic style., Dr. John Kinkel has written a wonderful, thought-provoking book on the policies of the Catholic Church on birth control. Under the influence of one of the most popular Popes of all time, John Paul has contributed to the Global Aids Crisis. Dr. Kinkel clearly demonstrates how policies of the Catholic Church matter to citizens of the world, whether Catholic or not. I found this book insightful, well-balanced, and an example of 'unintended consequences' on a massive scale., Papal Paralysis: How the Vatican Dealt with the AIDS Crisis, offers an important historical review of how papal doctrine led to the Catholic hierarchy's tragic failure in protecting human life during the HIV & AIDS epidemic, as well as in supporting efforts to create an AIDS-free generation. . . .Kinkel's book reaffirms that we urgently need papal action to help create an AIDS-free generation, meet the global need for family planning and end extreme poverty in our time., Only a scholar who knows and cares about the Catholic Church as much as Dr. R. John Kinkel does could write so convincing a book on the Catholic Church and the AIDS crisis. His examination of the rationale for the Church's stance on the AIDS Crisis is an impressive work that helps the reader understand the diverse and complex factors that played a role in the development of the Vatican's position on AIDS, and by extension, on other somewhat baffling positions the Church may take on similar issues as well. The book is not only informative, but also easy to understand and should be required reading for those seeking greater insight into the Catholic Church's sometimes incomprehensible positions on difficult issues., Dr. John Kinkel has written a wonderful, thought-provoking book on the policies of the Catholic Church on condoms and AIDS. He clearly demonstrates how policies of the Catholic Church matter to citizens of the world, whether Catholic or not. I found this book insightful, well-balanced, and an example of 'unintended consequences' on a massive scale., This is a meticulously researched and well-balanced account of the politics, personalities, and power of The Roman Catholic Church's hierarchy that culminated in the shameful abandonment of the world's population to the scourge of HIV/AIDS. The book is very well-written, eschews professional jargon, and will be of great interest to all concerned with the 'intractable nature of human institutions and those who run them.'

Synopsis

Papal Paralysis is the first book to show how conservative clerics defended their position on the grounds that contraceptives were intrinsically evil, while critics within and outside the church called for accommodations in order to save lives. This book highlights the intransigent Papal teaching on contraceptives which led to the deaths of thousands., Papal Paralysis utilizes the historical case study method to describe the moral and ethical dilemma Catholic Church officials face when asked to help fight the worldwide spread of AIDS. If popes and bishops allowed the use of condoms to prevent the spread of AIDS, conservatives would say that the Church was abandoning its teaching against the use of contraceptives. On the other hand, if the Vatican rejected the use of condoms to prevent the spread of AIDS, many Catholics would be put at risk for contracting HIV/AIDS. By the early 1980's John Paul II made it clear that being a Catholic meant being opposed to artificial birth control. When confronted with the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s, he applied his understanding of church moral theology to this new health care problem and fought HIV/AIDS through preaching abstinence and fidelity, but did not endorse the use of condoms. Despite opposition to this teaching by more than 30 high ranking bishops and cardinals, John Paul II and his successor, Benedict XVI, refused to change. Not until 2010 did the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith state, with papal approval, that using a condom to prevent spreading AIDS was morally superior to its opposite. The book concludes that the church's failure to properly deal with the AIDS crisis was its greatest modern scandal, with the end result being thousands of lives lost.
