Its bibliographies and appendixes will assist anyone looking to better understand the current push toward the priesthood of women. Doxology ...a tour de force for the women's ordination movement...a must-read...for anyone who wants to thoroughly understand the church's teachings on women and priesthood, this is a critical resource...clear and precise... New Women, New Church This English edition, edited and translated by Bernard Cooke and Gary Macy, lays out Dr. Raming's argument for why Canon Law 1024, which prohibits the ordination of women, stands in contradiction to Vatican II. The bibliographic resources are valuable for exploring ordination as such even as the discourse has moved on to feminist approaches to ministry. Waterwheel
