Thank you for your help in deciphering parts of that review.  I don't think I will try to read the book, since I do not have the background - or maybe the intelligence - for it.

The idea of a "dialogical church" intrigues me.  I do think many teachings just don't make sense in the world of today - on the idea of original sin/redemption, the nature of God in an evolving universe, sexual matters, women in the world and in the Church, absolutists readings of the Gospels, the rule against contraceptives in a world with 7 billion people - and growing.  

I was born a few months before I could be counted as a baby boomer, so I was raised in the "obedience or hell-fire" model of Catholicism.  But I am not the child I was.  I struggle for an adult faith and wish for a place where discussions of "teachings that don't make sense" could occur.  Not just for me - I am the only one still left in my family who claims Catholicism.  So much just doesn't make sense - the Church needs the conversation.
