Cornwell explains why he left the Church but returned to it after twenty years because he 'couldn't do without it' and because he is convinced that Catholicism still has the power to make the world a better place. Cornwell addresses issues that range from the core concepts of everyday practice like confession, liturgy, sexual practices, divorce to issues that concern the organization of the church globally including the changing face of priesthood, the ordination of women, and the challenge of the conservative movement worldwide. Hardcover. Ex-library copy in Very Good condition. Limited unobtrusive marks on free front endpaper. Unmarked edges and text. Minimal wear. 310 pages.
