Críticas:

-Father Frank Almade's book, 'Just Wages for Church Employees', is by all odds the best book of its kind in the English language. I recommend it enthusiastically and hope that it will have the wide circulation that it so richly deserves.- (Rev. Msgr. George G. Higgins, The Catholic University of America)
-A unique blend of theory, factual data and ethical application, Almade's study provides both a comprehensive understanding of the meaning of a just wage and extremely helpful ways for church employers to begin to practice what they preach.- (Dr. James P. Hanigan, Duquesne University)
-Fr. Almade's work makes an important contribution to a complex subject. His twelve criteria for a just wage are especially helpful for determining what is a fair amount to pay. The criteria seem balanced and comprehensive.- (William P. Daly, Director of Consultation Services, National Association of Church Personnel Administrators) -The need for such an exhaustive publication has been long overdue. Both church employees and employers owe a debt of gratitude to Frank Almade for his extensive and commited research in compiling this resource.- (John J. Miller, GIA Quarterly)

Reseña del editor:

"Just Wages for Church Employees" reviews the history of church support for the right to a just wage. There is a thorough analysis of the theological foundations of this human right. Only in recent years has there been explicit ecclesial support of just compensation for workers and their families when they are employed by the church. A survey of parish employees in Allegheny County, PA, shows the low wages and inadequate benefits actually paid. Dr. Almade offers twelve axioms for implementing a just wage. Responsible employers, and all church administrators, are obliged by the demands of justice, and the Gospel, to know the teaching on a just wage, and to begin a process of implementing it. As the American Catholic bishops wrote in 1986, -Indeed, the Church should be exemplary.-"
