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.

From the Publisher:
When she speaks to groups on the controversal issue of women's ordination, Deborah Halter has discovered one thing that unites all sides -- few people know the history of the debate or understand the technical vocabulary of the official church positions. The Papal "No" is the first book to assemble every major Vatican and episcopal pronouncement on women's ordination, explaining each document in readable, nontechnical language, and showing the variety of Catholic responses to them from all sides. The Papal "No" includes frequently asked questions and glossary.
About the Author:
Deborah Halter is a former chair of the Womens Ordination Conference and speaker at Call to Action. She is a widely sought-after speaker on women's issues in the Catholic Church. She lives in New Orleans, LA.
