Maguire was condemned by U.S. bishops for his progressive writings, because, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ereported, Maguire's pamphlets on abortion and same-sex marriage \"are written in a very popular and lively style, and from what the bishops knew, they were very widely distributed.\" Praised by \u003ci\u003eMs. Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e as one of \"40 male heroes who took a chance for women,\" Daniel C. Maguire is a noted theologian and ethicist whose controversial views and irreverent style have rankled conservatives for nearly thirty years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this pithy guide to progressive Catholicism, Maguire shows how tragically far conservative Catholic politics have strayed from the best Catholic social teaching. \u003ci\u003eWhose Church?\u003c\/i\u003e 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 fully in line with Catholic tradition. \u003ci\u003eWhose Church?\u003c\/i\u003e offers deeply informed and incisive theological arguments in favor of gender equality, affirmative action and antiracism, opposition to war, and the fight against poverty and economic inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFull of humor, passion, and intolerance for injustice, \u003ci\u003eWhose Church?\u003c\/i\u003e is a manifesto for Catholics and for progressives everywhere--showing the way forward at a critical juncture in the history of the U.S. Catholic Church and in progressive politics more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel C.
