Incompatible with God's Design is the first comprehensive history
of the Roman Catholic women's ordination movement in the United
States. Mary Jeremy Daigler explores how the focus on ordination,
and not merely "increased participation" in the life and ministries
of the church, has come to describe a broad movement. Moving well
beyond the role of such organizations as the Women's Ordination
Conference, this study also addresses the role of international and
local groups. In an effort to debunk a number of misperceptions
about the movement, from its date of origin to its demographic
profile, Daigler explores a vast array of topics. Starting with the
movement's historical background from the early American period
through the early twentieth century to Vatican II and afterward,
she considers the role of women (especially Catholicism's more
religious adherents) in the movement's evolution, the organization
of the ordination movement in the United States, the role and
response of clergy and Vatican teachings, the reality of
international influences on the U.S. movement, and the full range
of challenges-past and present-to the ordination movement.
Incompatible with God's Design is compelling reading for any
student of theology and women's studies, as well as those
interested in staying abreast with the changing role of women
within the U.S. Roman Catholic Church.
