Notes on the book:
In Whose Church? noted social ethicist Dan Maguire explains what Catholicism actually says about good sex, women’s equality, social justice and the environment.
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 special aim at the “pelvic politics” that have dominated official Catholicism, skewering the Church hierarchy’s rigid positions on sex and reproduction and revealing a “spiritually healthy” alternative approach that is in line with Catholic tradition.
