The painful dilemma of the 21st century moderate Catholic vs. Romeas jarring, discordant, and Julia Lee contends, unsupportable dogma on burning issues such as homosexuality, celibacy, abortion, pedophilia, female participation, denying communion, are the guts underneath Letter to a Friend. Join Lee on a refreshing and uniquely her own challenge to Rome. Lee confronts both Rome and todayas Catholics with an inspired reminder as to who was Jesus 2000 years ago. She does this by taking us back to the Four Gospels, the Gnostic Gospels, other historic documents to the time of Jesus. With specific references, her own analytical surprises on Jesus and Mary Magdalene, Lee brings Jesus of 2000 years ago to the 21st century and dares Rome to re-read its own Gospels. She challenges Rome that Jesusa messages of peace, love, forgiveness, compassion, rejection of exclusivity, understanding, kindness, gentleness and goodness have been lost in the political development of Romeas oligarchy. Julia Lee speaks to you as though you were in her den by the fire. Her hope is that fellow wandering Catholics will feel as she does: that Rome cannot kick her or others out who disagree with Rome. Lee speaks warmly of her Teacher, and firmly believes He is in each of His Churches today. Despite Rome.
