MGB:_This books is essential reading to those who believe Vatican I was absolute and Vatican II was an abberation, as well as to those who would try to reign in their enthusiams. There are those who desire certainty over faith. They are not the same thing and, while a comfort, such a view can only lead to a smaller, more insular, Church. The Church must engage wih the wider world, not hide from it, much as Quinn did not, although Quinn could have been more bold. At some point, people hiding from change must be told they are wrong. Until that happens, the infallible Church will cling to error in the eyes of the faithful and the world. Quinn could not quite get to that point, which is a pity. Still, he provides perspective to many who sorely need it.
