"Until very recently the image of the Roman Catholic Church has been one of unassailable authority. The brilliant critical essays in this book are thus historic in two ways. They demonstrate the radical change that has come about in the public image of the Church since the pontificate of Pope John XXIII. And, perhaps of more enduring importance they are evidence of the rise of an informed and courageous laity, whose faith is of a strength and seriousness to feel the need of further and deeper discussions about the implications of their religion. Written by six lay Catholics and a Catholic archbishop, the essays are: 1. Some Reflections on Superstition and Credulity by Magdalen Goffin; 2. The Worldly Church by John M. Todd; 3. Authorization, Conformity and Guilt by Frank Roberts; 4. Censorship by professor H.P. R. Finberg; 5. Freedom and the Individual by Rosemary Haughton; 6. Contraception and War by Archbishop Thomas Roberts, S.J. $9.00USD
