When historians write the definitive history of the priest sex scandals and the vocation crisis that rocked the Church at the turn of the third millenium, it's likely they'll look to Jonathan Englert's new book, The Collar.

Englert spent a year at the Sacred Heart School of Theology in Milwaukee, immersed in the daily lives of its seminarians and priests, chronicling the struggles of five men on the path to ordination. Some of them made it, and some didn't. But through their stories, Englert is able to show us the complex, human reality of the Catholic priest in a way that statistics and studies never could.
