Women In Search of Truth - Converts to Catholicism Tell Their Stories

Product Description

There are Catholics and non-Catholics alike who take it as truth that the Catholic Church is no place for a self-respecting, intelligent woman. Small wonder they’re sympathetic to the feminists who couldn’t care less about the Church but, even so, relentlessly agitate for its complete restructuring … with women’s ordination as the new centerpiece.

Authors Jennifer Ferrara and Patricia Sodano Ireland disagree. Both were ordained Lutheran ministers. Both became Roman Catholics. The Catholic Mystique tells their stories — and the stories of more than a dozen other educated, articulate, accomplished women who found ultimate fulfillment in the Church.

While the contributors to this book come from a wide variety of backgrounds, time and again, it was the Church’s clear and uncompromising stance on the sanctity of human life that first attracted a woman’s attention, and then captured her heart.
