About this item

A RELUCTANT MALACHI is a collection of Thomas J. Quinlan's sometimes serious, sometimes ribald, and often hilarious homilies, reflections, fantasies, and writings which point in the direction his beloved Catholic Church must go in the age of Vatican II. Between jousts at the ludicrous mythology which has infiltrated Christian religion and jousts at those who excoriate him publicly, he masterfully describes the foundation necessary to create a thoughtful, spiritual, and meaningful Catholic - and even Protestant-- Christian community. "TQ has been one of the hidden treasures of the Catholic Church over so many years. Many have not understood his approach to pastoral ministry, but it has been invaluable in many respects. His new book, A Reluctant Malachi, introduces the reader to some of the wisdom he has shared with many Catholics and others over the years.
