REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATIONS
DEBORAH HALTER'S PROSE IS ENGAGING and easy to read. The book has great historical value…. When I finished reading it, my first thought was that Halter may have chronicled the beginning of the end of the patriarchal papacy.

HOW CAN WE THINK INTELLIGENTLY, and argue faithfully, if we do not have access to this material? Deborah Halter has done our work for us, and she prepares us to look at the issue of women's ordination in a truly catholic way.

The bread of life,
the cup of blessing. |
THIS BOOK IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. Here, assembled in one place, are the documents regarding the Vatican 's position on the ordination of women. Now that the underlying issues have been clearly outlined, ordinary people can see for themselves how and why Rome continues to say no to women.

HALTER'S ANALYSIS of
what she calls the “winter of discontent” – the chill that has
overtaken the  church's
relationship with women under Pope John Paul II – is especially
insightful. Enlivened with pithy remarks by the author and a
running commentary from the works of St. Thérèse
of Lisieux, this book is a great read.
| Joanna Manning, Take Back the Truth |
THIS BOOK IS TIMELY, well researched, and with the clear pastoral objective of making the magisterial decrees accessible to the average reader and thus opening up the possibility for honest and meaningful reflection on,
and discussion of, the issue.
Barbara Fiand, In the Stillness You Will Know
