Synopsis:

A 216-page hardcover book that makes the case for women in the Catholic priesthood - even though the hierarchy of the Church has traditionally opposed the idea, based largely on their belief that Christ wanted a male-only priesthood for all time. The author, a renowned theologian, disputes that ultra-conservative viewpoint and explains why it is in the Church's best interest to ordain women. (Author: John Wijngaards, DD, LSS. ISBN: 0-9995884-4-3. Price $16.95, hardcover.)

A former Mill Hill Missionary priest and vicar general of his Congregation, he resigned from the priestly ministry in 1998 because of a conflict of conscience over the Church's refusal to ordain women.
