9781595583352: Whose Church? A Concise Guide to Progressive Catholicism

Synopsis

In the spring of 2007, Daniel C. Maguire - a noted theologian whose controversial views have rankled conservatives for nearly 30 years - was condemned by US bishops for his progressive writings on abortion and same-sex marriage. In this pithy guide to progressive Catholicism, Maguire shows how tragically far conservative Catholic politics have strayed from the best Catholic social teaching. Whose Church? takes aim at the """"pelvic politics"""" that have dominated official Catholicism, skewering the Church hierarchy's rigid positions on sex.
