Whose Church?: A Concise Guide to Progressive Catholicism (Whose Religion? Series)

1 review
Daniel C. Maguire

New Press, 2008

I have read other books by the author in which I have learned a great deal but this breezy, satiric piece does not measure up to his own academic standards. I also attended lectures by Professor Maguire when I was a student at Catholic University. Maguire says the church is hung-up on "pelvic issues" but his book constantly refers to sex. He falls into the same trap of the extreme right when ...

"...to earn a place back in the movement of life, they must pass the most honest of intellectual tests, the so what? test." And so begins this all out scholarly gang warfare attack on consumerism and the ecological crisis in Visions ...

1 review

Pilgrim Press, 2007

"Violence Against Women In Contemporary World Religion: Roots and Cures" believes so and that it applies to many other world religions as well, be it Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism or others.
