Unlocking the Future: Women and the Diaconate

This book discusses from various angels the position of women in the
Roman Catholic Church more specifically with regard to the diaconate.
Theological, historical, pastoral, canonical and legal considerations
are taken into account. The book makes clear that the old discussion is
also lively today as only the ordination of women to the priesthood is
currently closed for further debate.






The thoughts developed in this book are certainly not exhaustive, nor do
they all go into the same direction. Yet they can offer stepping stones
to a future witch may do right thoroughly to the Church, to women and to
the wellbeing of all Christian faithful.
