North American Conference of Separated or Divorced Catholics, Inc. (NACSDC), which is recognized by USCCB and listed in The Official Catholic Directory, is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)corporation which, among other things, advertises and sells educational materials through its catalogue and website. NACSDC has a Catholic book section which sells only four books.  The second book is Good News for Alienated Catholics with Reflection Questions for Teachers and Preachers, by Fr. Henry Fehren. The book's description states, "If you are a Catholic who feels left out, discriminated against, labeled, ignored or discouraged by Church laws, these commentaries and the accompanying discussion questions will inspire hope, rebuild self-esteem, and give new perspective on being the church versus obeying the church." 

The author, Fr. Henry Fehren, is a columnist for U.S. Catholic. The book Good News for Alienated Catholics was recommended in U.S. Catholic, a publication of the Claretians religious community of priests and brothers.  U.S. Catholic lists Fehren's book as a Resource for Reaching Out (Helpful reading) in the section "Correcting the Damage," in the article  Back to where you once belonged, Welcoming Catholics who've been away

Excerpts from the book distributed by NACSDC, Good News for Alienated Catholics by Fr. Fehren
Mature Catholics, I emphasize, do not confuse the way, the truth, and the life of Jesus with man-made rules (yes, man-made - women, unfortunately, do not yet make rules in the church) (preface p v)

 'All Catholics have the right to a voice in all decisions that affect them including the choosing of their leaders’...'Divorced and remarried couples in great numbers, with and without church approbation, consider themselves good Catholics and do not hesitate to come forward for communion'... Finally, 'Why You Can Disagree and Remain a Faithful Catholic' by Father Philip Kaufman, O.S.B. ... This is a carefully researched book, direct and to the point on, among other things, birth control, divorce and remarriage, democracy in the church and 'infallible teaching.' (P 52-53). 

'But isn’t the pope the vicar of Christ?’ The bishop of Rome is not THE Vicar of Christ; he is A vicar of Christ and so are you. ...'Will my marriage be a sacrament?' The simplest answer: It will be if you make it such.... Theologians are still discussing what makes a marriage a sacrament. ... 'But now the authorities, the theologians and the canonists are turning to the married to find out what marriage is - and therefore what the sacrament is.'   (P 75-76). 

The "Magisterium" is another ill-used word. Theologians who teach are to swear loyalty to it and others are to 'suffer for the truth in silence.' In effect, the magisterium is one person (he appoints others who agree with him). 'All alike share in the Magisterium, or the teaching authority of the Church' (P 90). 

Gays and lesbians, for instance, experience this rejection. ... Because of prejudice against them, many remain in hiding, 'in the closet,' for they are afraid to be as God in love make them. ... God does not make clones; each person is different, a tribute to God's creativity. If we are to love our neighbor as ourself, we must accept people as they are. (P 116). 

No one person makes up the whole church. That's why 'Will the church recognize my marriage?' is such a stupid question. Each one of us is as much church as the other. (P 123). 

A writer for the Catholic press must learn to write within the ecclesiastical picket fence that surrounds him. ... [Editors] know they can be sacked if they do not conform. John Paul II's latest encyclical, Veritatis Splendor, confirms this. Overstepping his rights as bishop of Rome, he alone appoints every bishop in the world and controls every word in canon law, in the new Roman catechism, taught in the seminaries and written in nearly every publication of the Catholic press. He has summed up or compacted into one person, himself, the ‘church’ and the magisterium (The 'teaching church.') (P 144). 

What many Catholics will no longer continence is the gospels being replaced by The Code of Canon Law. (P 145). 

The Association for the Rights of Catholics in the Church is also worried: 'The style and numerous measures of the Roman authorities,' it says, 'tend to obstruct our ministry and create either a climate of mistrust, of anxiety, of indifference and eventually, of leaving the church, or an equally questionable religious obedience to human laws.' (P 146). 

Over the years I have heard more and more complaints about the increasing authoritarianism in the church, but I have also seen the laity become more mature and independent. ... I encourage the making of a 'holy rule' for oneself.(P 147).
