Ida Raming's book sheds much light on the canonical roots of the
Roman Catholic stance against the ordination of women. For this
reason it is a useful work. Its bibliographies and appendixes will
assist anyone looking to better understand the current push toward
the priesthood of women.

must-read...for anyone who wants to thoroughly understand the

*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.
