Let Us Dream: The Path to a Better Future (edição 2020)

Don't look for any deep theological discourse in this book. There is none. What there is are the thoughts of an Archbishop from a large city and the Bishop of Rome. His prescription will be dismissed as a "couldn't-happen-event." But one must ask: why not? It was eminently clear in the last Presidential campaign in the USA that the two sides don't talk to each other; they talk about each other but that cannot identify common ground. And, because of that campaign, we in the USA have not heard much about the rest of the world except how one side claims the other is exploited by China or Russia. Intuition suggests many of the same things troubling us in the USA are prevalent throughout the world. Thus, again, why not try Francis' solution of synodalism?
The Pope has a fine way of presenting his ideas, easy to understand. I don't buy everything he proposes but he'd be the first to acknowledge that not everyone would or should.
As I said to a correspondent earlier, this book will not leave my home until I've read it at least once more. ( )
