Why are so many individuals discouraged, at spiritual dead ends,
even when they are active participants in their churches? Righteous
Religion exposes the authoritarian misuse of Christian teaching
that often leaves its members ignored, chastised, or belittled.
This new book offers hope for anyone who has struggled with
disillusionment in the face of an unbending religious system. After
unmasking a bewildering network of illusions that operate beneath
the surface of Fundamentalism and dogmatic Catholicism, the authors
help readers find their own voices of truth. This is a candid book
that analyzes the grip of Fundamentalism and Catholicism on their
respective followers, despite financial and sexual scandals, misuse
of power and influence, apparent hypocrisy, and selective
self-righteousness of these two religious systems.Using real life
stories of ordinary people in ordinary churches, Righteous Religion
demonstrates that the efforts involved in maintaining illusions are
incompatible with claiming a personal spiritual voice. The authors
discuss the relationship between the breakdown of erroneous notions
and the growth that will involve readers in finding their own
voice. From the stories presented, readers will see the journey
progress from questioning previously unquestioned assumptions,
reclaiming the best out of their religious traditions, and then
transcending that which is no longer viable by grieving over
illusions, learning to live with paradox, and transforming
illusions into a new, valid, and spiritually personal religious
truth.As readers begin the journey of finding their own spiritual
voice, their experiences will be validated by the prose and stories
in Righteous Religion. Those outside of Fundamentalism and
Catholicism can begin to understand the practices of these
religious groups through the authors'clear explanation of the
dynamics and inner workings of creed bound Fundamentalism and
Catholicism. This book has appeal to anyone--whether from within or
outside religious tradition--who has questioned the grip of
Fundamentalism and Catholicism on individuals.
