Incompatible with God’s Design: A History of the Women’s Ordination Movement in the U.S. Roman Catholic Church

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.

She holds a doctor of ministry in church administration, a master of divinity from the Andover Newton Theological School, Massachusetts, and a master of arts in Classical Languages from the Johns Hopkins University.
