Incompatible with Gods Design is the first comprehensive history of the Roman Catholic womens 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 Womens 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 movements historical background from the early American period through the early twentieth century to Vatican II and afterward, she considers the role of women (especially Catholicisms more religious adherents) in the movements 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 Gods Design is compelling reading for any student of theology and womens studies, as well as those interested in staying abreast with the changing role of women within the U.S. Roman Catholic Church.
