Review: Michael Coren aims to reclaim the power to define faith’s meaning in the public eye

. Indeed, this Jesus is a left-wing revolutionary committed to aiding the poor, battling entrenched power and welcoming the marginalized. His egalitarian agitation leads to him being branded a criminal and executed by the highest powers in the land. Nowhere in scripture does he speak of homosexuality or abortion. Instead, he speaks of helping the destitute and cherishing outcasts.

There are also the media outlets that amplify extremist voices, encouraging the illusion that these voices represent Christianity in general. And, finally , there’s what Coren describes as institutionalized Catholicism’s resistance to change. These forces encrust themselves upon Christianity’s innately progressive core, warping its meaning in the public eye.Coren pursues his task with a convert’s zeal.

This structure has both strengths and drawbacks. On one hand, the columns’ topics are bracingly eclectic, ranging from the local to the global . Essays of the latter camp broach such startling claims as that Mother Teresa was far from wholly good and that the Catholic church is in fact the world’s largest employer of gay men. On the other hand, because the columns were originally written as self-contained units, arguments occasionally repeat themselves.

Our era’s intensifying political polarization renders this book a unique document. Because some aspects of Coren’s argument – namely, the need for LGBTQ equality – are merely commonsensical to most Canadians, there’s a risk thatwill wind up preaching to the politically, if not spiritually, converted. Yet, what may be most significant aboutis its status as the product of a changed mind. Amid the calcifying oppositions of our continuing culture wars, a changed mind is a remarkable thing.
