Father Kaufman, a Benedictine monk, did immense harm through his defense of dissent from basic Catholic teachings. He went on lecture tours, including one in Canada, promoting his grave errors. This review was written at the request of Father Paul Marx, also a Benedictine, founder of the great Human Life International movement. It appeared in the Homiletic and Pastoral Review of February 1991. In shorter form it was reprinted in the Catholic Register February 22, 1992.

John Cardinal Krol accurately said: “The Conciliar Decrees on Ecumenism (n.l.), on Mission Activity (n.6) and the Apostolic Exhortation on Evangelization 9 (n.77) clearly state that divisions among Christians contradict the will of Christ, scandalize the world, damage the work of preaching the gospel to every creature and deprive many people of access to the faith” (Preface to: Symposium on the Magisterium: A Positive Statement, Daughters of St. Paul, 1978).
