Another thing I've meant to comment on since summer is Lauren's posts about the Vatican's stance on women's issues. I kept thinking I'd have time to write a decent post on it, but that hasn't happened in four months. I do, however, have time to point out Deborah Halter's The Papal No: A Comprehensive Guide to the Vatican's Rejection of Women's Ordination. It deals with many of the questions Lauren raised. Halter is a Religious Studies lecturer at Loyola New Orleans and a past chair of the Women's Ordination Conference. She's also my godmother.

Now back to the grant proposal. All that's left is the methodologies and budget sections, and then I can ship it to my collaborator.
