Reviews

'As Cardinal Kasper makes clear in his short but insightful book, the Pope is completely committed to the Synodical process. Holding a synod in two sessions, a year apart, and encouraging consultation by the bishops of the wider Church really does mark a new development...Kasper also emphasises the importance of 'mercy' in the present Pope's thinking.' -- Paul Richardson, www.churchnewspaper.com
