He believes the loving service of Mother Teresa should serve as an example for all Christians and that the Church should open the roles of priestess and bishop, cardinal and even Pope, to women, giving Catholic men more time to do the kinds of social outreach that Mother Teresa was noted for. Rather like a modern Martin Luther, the author rails against the Catholic structure in which priests are called "father" and are the intercessors, along with saints and the Pope,between humans and God. He extols the virtues of Mother Teresa, who treated the sick and ministered to the dying without requiring any form of conversion from their traditional religions. He sees her as a bold exemplar of the idea that anyone can access God directly, and accuses the Church of wishing to maintain power by enforcing religious conversion on those they help physically. Thoughtful Catholics and other religious activists may find in Gerard's points a helpful guide to future useful changes in the internal structure of the Catholic Church.
