“The saints were so completely dead to themselves that they cared very little whether others agreed with them or not.”                                        ~St. John Vianney For Reflection: According to St. John Vianney’s quote, on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being quite “alive” and 10 being “completely dead”) how much life is in me? (Hint: Ask – How important is it to me to win an argument? Make my point? Have the last word? Speak the truth when inconvenient? Defend the truth in the face of ridicule?)

                FOREWORD

This book offers a positive proposal to explore more fully the covenantal, authoritative role women already have in the Catholic Church. Secular authority often manifests itself through power. God expresses authority--not through quantitative force--but through life-giving force. When authority is correctly identified with the ability to give life and the responsibilities that are inherent in the creation of life, we begin to grasp the nature of male-female authority in the Catholic Church as it is presented in this book.
