Mary and Human Liberation

Notes: An extended review and commentary on Fr. Balasuriya's book. Reviewer notes that the book "is doctrinally problematic and is at times poorly argued, but it has also raised issues that are of the utmost significance for the Church today. The treatment he has received manifests the worst kind of masculine authoritarianism in action, and represents a lost opportunity for the maternal Church to show her ability to nurture diversity and resolve conflicts with love, patience and sensitivity."
