The issues focused on in the book include the A. The misuse and abuse of authority by the Church down through the centuries; how this happened, and what structural and systemic change is needed to overcome it. B. Two problematic doctrines that are part of Church Infallibility and the Virgin Birth. Flannery questions both the meaning and the use made of both. C. Opening up the Church to all believers, including women. D. Abolishing compulsory celibacy for priests.
I couldn't agree more with everything said in this book. not only highlights the obvious issues but gives a clear direction forward...if the church is wwise enough to take it!
