Most of us are quick to judge a book by its cover or title.
And so here is a review by His Excellency, Most Rev. Gerardo A. Alminaza, DD (Bishop of San Carlos) after reading The View from the Pew, A Catholic Priest Falls in Love:
"Here are some important lessons we all need to learn from an insider who loves the Church and would want us all to pay attention to some painful yet essential truths we need to face if we are truly serious in the task of Church renewal. Everyone -- bishops, priests, religious, consecrated persons, married couples, Catholics and non-Catholics alike can learn something from this honest-to-goodness sharing from the heart."
Here also is his recommendation:
This book is helpful reading for seminary formators and those involved in the ministry of accompaniment. There is a chapter on celibacy -- but this should not frighten those who value this jewel of the Roman Catholic priesthood. However, the author warns that 'celibacy without chastity is a farce.' It's a good read during this Year of St. Joseph in the Universal Church and the Celebration of 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines, the Year of Missio ad Gentes!"
