The book presents a compelling argument for the valid ordination of women in the Catholic Church, challenging the notion of an unbroken tradition against it. O'Brien highlights historical evidence of women's ministries in the early Church, noting that cultural adaptations, rather than theological necessity, led to their marginalization. The text reveals that women were ordained in the past and that subsequent prohibitions were selectively enforced. It posits that current canon law, which restricts ordination to men, can and should be reformed, emphasizing the need for a shift in understanding rather than doctrine.
