Title: Unity Through Relativism
Review: Margaret O'Gara writing as a Catholic theologian strangely misrepresents the Catholic position in her book. Misinterpretations of key theological terms, for example, such as "reception" leads O'Gara to denounce the Catholic view that the bishops are the true successors of the apostles.The book ultimately ends up being little more than an exercise in empty rhetoric.Those serious about ecumenical dialogue will be disappointed at O'Gara's efforts at relativizing religion.It seems she is not really interested in the true teachings of the various Christian denominations as much as she is intent on bringing them together under a common denominator - regardless of what that may mean. Those interested in learning what the Catholic church really teaches should read the numerous papal encyclicals on the various topics.
