Thank you for listening. PROJECT: ORDINATION JUSTICE is an audio course that investigates the topic of the ordination of women as priests in the Roman Catholic Church. This second episode lays the foundation of this study. First, it contextualizes this inquiry as a continuation of the 2000-year long Catholic intellectual tradition. Next, it considers the theology of the incarnation as a basis for understanding what vocation is and why it is important. Lastly, it sets up the question about vocation that we are asking God to answer, exploring how to frame the question and why this matters. By the end of this episode, we will have a shared understanding of vocation and a clear question to bring before God for guidance.
