When I.F. Görres criticizes the Church, it is never out of a desire for opposition or self-satisfaction. She points out weak spots to initiate healing processes. In contrast to the unabridged faith of the Church, she presents a bare theology, whose devastating lack of breadth and substance elevates specialized fringe products to give itself face and weight. Despite all the accurate diagnoses and many distressing observations that the reader must confirm from personal experience, this book is anything but born from a pessimistic-reactionary mindset. It stirs up the discernment of spirits and already reveals in its title that it is ultimately a book of hope.
