A Bishops Voice

The Bishop having been sacked by Rome attempts to tell his story to an imaginery people in the desert his new see. We get a lot of insight into his thoughts and what led to Rome's decision. The Bishop thinks his stand is absolutely right but like so many others before him and currently has no chance against the church with its archaic man made rules.

Luminous - true spirituality at its best

"Voice from the Desert" is a deceptively-simple, slight volume, in which Bishop Jacques Gaillot chronicles his "resignation" from the see of Evreux, France; and his "appointment" as Bishop of Partenia - a North African wasteland, now defunct. With remarkably little bitterness, this extraordinary man outlines his beliefs and the actions which eventually led to his dismissal. His resilience was such that he established a cyber-diocese on the Internet, and thus can reach millions of souls, where before he only reached thousands. One can only mourn for an institutionalized church which prizes doctrine, authority, and image over the true, all-embracing and eternal love which Gaillot embodies with every word. My only regret is that he does not address the ordination of women and the position of women in the Catholic church. A beautiful, inspiring and radiant book.
