Joanna Manning, author of the Globe and Mail bestseller Is the Pope Catholic?, is an ex-nun and one of the most recognized and unrelenting critics of Catholicism and the Christian Right. In this insightful and passionate examination, Manning argues that Christianity's future requires a fundamental and grassroots shift in order to achieve worldwide peace and justice. She explores the role of women and-inspired by the historical role of Mary Magdalene-pleads for the necessity of respecting sexual diversity, preserving the environment and recognizing religious pluralism. Moving and powerful, Manning provides a hopeful and spiritually rich vision for the future.
"Manning's prose ... becomes positively vivid when Manning starts doing what she was trained for-laying out theological arguments and interpreting Catholic wit. My hope lies in knowing that there are reformers like Manning writing books like this one." -Quill & Quire on Is the Pope Catholic?
