Bishops criticize popular book about God

Not to worry, Sister Elizabeth A. Johnson, all you need to do is agree to pay a hefty sum of your  royalties to your local Catholic church’s archdiocese, and their pyramid of “monetary sponges,” will be more than happy to introduce your book to Catholic schools and universities across the globe. You see, it’s all about money… TGO

NEW YORK (AP) — A committee of American Roman Catholic bishops says a popular book about God shouldn’t be used in Catholic schools and university because it doesn’t uphold church doctrine.

The book is “Quest for the Living God: Mapping Frontiers in the Theology of God” by Sister Elizabeth A. Johnson, a theologian at New York’s Fordham University.

The committee on doctrine said in a statement Wednesday that Sister Johnson used “standards from outside the faith … to revise in a radical fashion the conception of God.”

The author said in a statement that the committee had misinterpreted her book. She said she tried “to present new insights about God arising from people living out their Catholic faith in different cultures.”
