The Authority of Women in the Catholic Church

By Monica Migliorino Miller

The Authority of Women in the Catholic Church elucidates the essential role women play in the covenant of salvation. With the support of Scripture, the writings of the Fathers of the Church, and contemporary theological insights, Monica Migliorino Miller explains how Christian women exemplify the reality of the Church in relation to Christ and the ministerial priesthood. While providing a fascinating response to contemporary feminist theology, The Authority of Women in the Catholic Church clarifies the meaning of authentic feminine authority so needed in the Church today.

Worth the read!

I would recommend reading this after you read Christopher West's Theology of the Body - the stances and explanations in this book will make even more sense. I enjoyed Miller's take on feminist theology - an aspect of feminism that is not talked about at all in the mainstream. Miller then walks through common areas of tension including woman priests. I recommend this to anyone struggling with the Church in this area and/or haven't ever really made the effort to understand.
