Title: Every Catholic should read this book
Review: This is a book which everyone who cares about the Catholic Church should read. It is the story of a journey - a journey made by Lavinia Byrne from her middle class Catholic family background, a journey that took her into the confines of a convent and ultimately to a clash with the Vatican. Byrne's crime? To talk openly about the ordination of women to the priesthood in the Catholic Church. The Vatican ordered the American publishers of her book on women priests to pulp it. The Congregation for Religious put enormous pressure on Byrne's own religious order to stop her talking about the issue. Ultimately she was forced out of religious life. This is a fascinating account of the tensions within the Catholic Church. Do not miss it!!
