Archbishop John Quinn is the former bishop of San Francisco. In this book, he takes up the invitation of Pope John Paul II in the encyclical Ut Unum Sint to reflect on the ways in which the papacy might be reformed so as to serve as a ministry of unity.

With the ascendancy of a new pope and his papal visit to the U.S. in 2009, the future of the Catholic church is again on the minds of many. In this influential bestseller, John R. Quinn, who served as Archbishop of San Francisco, makes a clear and bold case for reform within the Catholic Church, particularly of the policies and procedures of the Roman Curia.
