By a G E N T L E M A N.

You here in Miniature your Pictures see,
Nor hope from Zincks* more justice than from me.

His Portraits will inflame, mine quench your Pride.
He’s dear, you frugal: choose my cheaper Lay,
And be your Reformation all my Pay. ----- Young.**

The ORDINATION OF WOMEN in the Catholic Church

We hope that you have found this document helpful. It costs our small charity on average £10 / $20 / Euro15 to make such a document freely available to you. This is because we have to identify the best scholarship available, retrieve texts, obtain permissions, scan, edit, link and convert documents to html format and run a small office base to make this all possible. We can do this only because we are run almost entirely by volunteers. Please help us build our online library of resources so that more people can access the debate and make up their own minds about women priests. Having benefited from the online library, any donation, small or large, that you can make to support our work would be gratefully appreciated. Click here to learn how to make a donation now.
