Lavinia Byrne believes that the Roman Catholic Church's teaching and pastoral practice is producing vocations to priesthood among women. This book looks forward to the day when Catholic women will be ordained, and addresses questions such as: when and how this might take place; who women are for and against; how women are organized; what the present-day Church thinking is on the subject; whether nuns are uncovering a call to ordination; and whether the ordination of women is a source of division or a source of healing.

The Journey Is My Home

Baptised in the Birmingham Oratory, Lavinia Byrne lived a devout and pious Catholic childhood. She entered a convent aged 17. This work tells the story of her life, her faith and her decision to leave her order.

Lavinia Byrne entered her convent at the age of seventeen. Her writing and broadcasting have made her a popular and much-loved figure, and therefore it was a huge shock when, in January 2000, she announced her decision to leave her order. This is the powerful story of one woman's struggle to keep her integrity in a Church still using techniques reminiscent of the Inquisition.
