A priest reflects on his work through his daily journals

Author Jack Scissons’ debut book follows a new priest on assignment as he promotes the current teachings of the church about married male and female priests, abortion, divorce, assisted dying, and LGBTQIA+ rights.

“Catholic Church? Why Not:? Diaries of a small-town priest” is told in day-by-day journal entry format. A newly ordained priest believes the current teachings of the church are jaded and discriminatory. He believes the teachings of the gospels that emphasize love, non-judgment and forgiveness would be more inspirational to the world.

“The Catholic Church should be open to all specially those who make mistakes, feel wounded or are treated like outcasts in society; The Church should exclude no one,” Scissons said.

Scissons wrote this book while in isolation during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. He drew inspiration from his own experience as a priest and writers like Morris West, Graham Greene, Andrew Greeley and J.F. Powers. He explained that writing this book was a “wonderful opportunity for reflection on his own Catholic practice.” Scissons discovered how “saddened and disappointed” he is with the current leadership of the Catholic Church.
