The Papal "No": A Comprehensive Guide to the Vatican's Rejection of Women's OrdinationCrossroad Publishing Company, 2004 - 300 pages A Catholic Press Association Award-winner, The Papal No is a unique book in contemporary literature concerning the Roman Catholic Church's increasingly controversial exclusion of women from priesthood. Requiring no background knowledge and written in clear and accessible language, The Papal No assembles virtually all the major Vatican documents on women's ordination, exploring responses to them by theologians, educators, bishops, lay Catholic groups, and others. Along the way, it offers explanations of concepts such as reception and subordinationism that are unfamiliar to many readers. With an appendix of twelve key documents numbered for easy reference, helpful glossary, and endnotes for scholars, The Papal No is the most complete resource ever to appear on one of the most pressing issues in the Catholic Church today. |
