Reinventing the Catholic Church: Why It Must Be Done and how to Do It

Donald Louis Kronenberger believes one person can make a difference even if the odds seem overwhelming. He sees a Catholic Church wherein rules and rubric too often outrank faith, hope, and love. "Reinventing the Catholic Church: Why It Must Be Done and How to Do It" argues that the Church, so rich in culture, tradition, ceremony, and theological intellect, is hindered by an ill-conceived proclamation of papal infallibility. Its refusal to renounce this is part of its failing in its mission to lead man to God. Kronenberger urges a return to collegiality and legitimate consensus, and challenges the Church to relinquish its bad baggage and reinvigorate its purpose. Twenty-two specific steps to revitalize the church are outlined within, addressing issues such as celibacy, sex discrimination, and financial transparency.Kronenberger, Donald Louis is the author of 'Reinventing the Catholic Church: Why It Must Be Done and how to Do It', published 2007 under ISBN 9781587368332 and ISBN 1587368331.
