“Tone at the Top” and the abuse of power in the Catholic Church

Herald Malaysia - daily news source with Malaysian and Global coverage of the Catholic Churches. Catholic News,World Christian News, Malaysia Church News

A few months ago, a book with an eloquent title was published: Heillose Macht — literally, “Power empty of salvation.” Many priests and laypersons, both Church employees and volunteers, relate here the abuse of power that they have personally suffered in the Catholic Church, which they have experienced “as a place of despotism and humiliation”.

Something is fundamentally wrong if people need safe spaces of this kind before they can talk about how they experience the abusive exercise of power in the Church. A culture of fear in the Church is a drastic negation of the self-understanding of a Church that is welcoming and cares for people. If the message proclaimed is contradicted by the reality people experience, the words that are used lose all credibility.
