Books by Mark O'Doherty

This book aims to further harmony and human rights in Catholicism and the world at large; by exploring delicate issues within the Catholic Church, such as clerical celibacy, which ought to be discarded, according to the author - as well as gender inequality; recent revolts in the Vatican showing that the church is still failing women. While Pope Francis has opened up more discussion about women's roles and appointed women in key Vatican positions, the topic of them becoming priests is still very much taboo. Quantum Theory - and the ethical and psychological ramifications of spiritual intelligence - is also an approach which the world religions should adopt, according to the author, as the world is always in motion - constantly changing, developing and evolving... However, first and foremost this book advocates that we all have to work together on making the world a better place - by being open-minded and willing to overbridge differences; so that peace, prosperity and love can be manifested in the world.

The Crystal Conclave was an experimental project in the form of a magazine, published in 2006 and 2007 in South Africa (Mid-Rand), receiving contributions from a number of innovative and interesting writers and poets. One of the principle aims of the Crystal Conclave was to make a contribution to healing South Africa; on an economic, spiritual, psychological and medical level. Although the magazine's primary purpose was to promote the New Thought movement in Africa, the project also attracted a number of writers and poets from the Mainstream.
