Summary

A True Story of a Catholic Priest: Why I Got In - Why I Got Out - And What I Learned Through It All

Why does someone devote their life to the Church? What makes them leave? In this deeply personal and eye-opening memoir, Charles Edward Schutt explores these profound questions with unfiltered honesty.

For 17 years, Charles served as a Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of Chicago, dedicating his life to faith, social justice, and spiritual growth. However, as time passed, he faced personal and institutional challenges that reshaped his understanding of his role in the Church. Ultimately, he made the life-changing decision to leave the priesthood and step into an entirely different world, corporate leadership.

Now, with 25 years of experience as an executive recruiter and an MBA from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Charles shares the remarkable journey of reinvention, self-discovery, and resilience. His memoir offers a rare glimpse into the realities of priesthood, the struggles of faith, and the pursuit of purpose beyond the pulpit.

This compelling memoir takes readers through:

His early fascination with the Church and his decision to become a priest The realities of serving in the Catholic Church for nearly two decades The deeply personal and institutional challenges that led to his departure His transition into the corporate world and the invaluable lessons he gained Insights on faith, identity, and the power of transformation

A True Story of a Catholic Priest is more than an autobiography, it is a powerful testament to faith, doubt, reinvention, and the lifelong search for truth. Whether you are interested in religion, career transitions, or personal growth, this book offers a thought-provoking and inspiring journey that will resonate with readers from all walks of life.
