Book Review: Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church
Summary: 5 Stars
Essential reading for any thinking, mature Catholic who is dismayed at the current efforts to downplay Vatican II, consolidate power of the hierarchy, and limit the development and active participation of parishioners. Book Review: Recalling our history, envisioning our future
Summary: 5 Stars
An honest, mature and authorative view of our church today: how we got here; what we have brought with us; our current situation; and a hopeful look to our future. An aid to answering some basic questions: what did Jesus show us and what does Jesus expect from us: sing a new song to the Lord with Me.Book Review: Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent and very readable book that has provided me with much needed insight as a very troubled Episcopalian at this time of our schism over the ordination of an openly gay bishop in 2003.Book Review: Balanced , spiritual and realistic
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank goodness! Another Catholic bishop "gets it." Bishop Robinson shed light on our images of God, Scripture and sexuality that are unique, balanced, spiritual and realistic. He is honest and fair both to our culture and our religious traditions, to individuals as well as institutions. Robinson does not claim to have THE answer; he is humble enough to admit that his book is AN answer. It is a breath of fresh air - and the Holy Spirit!Book Review: Telling the truth to power
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who is interested in the future of the Catholic Church, especially anyone who is interested in staying in it (as opposed to walking away in disgust) MUST read this book. Bishop Robinson paid a heavy price for writing this book and for telling the truth, and yet he still believes in the Church and in its future. Insightful and inspiring.
