Missed Opportunities: Rethinking Catholic Tradition
Missed Opportunities addresses main problems confronting Roman Catholic Church teaching. Its premise is that Catholic tradition contains rich possibilities that have not been explored by church officials.
On issues such as contraception, abortion, homosexuality, care of the dying, environmental problems, human rights, and opposition to violence, the Roman Catholic Church could play a positive role but its voice is not heard, especially because of the clergy’s sexual-abuse scandal and its disastrous stand against birth control. The Roman Catholic Church needs to regain credibility by a reform that is in touch with today’s issues and consonant with the best of church tradition.
