Excerpts—
Read from the Book
“It’s easier to insist on a set of rules for the people and require strict undifferentiated compliance than abide by the requirements of a shared responsibility.”
Read excerpts from The Vatican Battle of Bishops: A View from The Pew.
“The Catholic Church, if it were to acknowledge the need for a new central doctrine, has a model to follow in the devotion and practices of Jesus’ early followers. Allow Jesus to become the central doctrine—to be our Special Sacrament of God.”
