There not only is no coherent 'whole' here - the individual parts add up to nothing. Jackowski strings together purely anecdotal reflections, with no hint of scholarly justification, to the effect that sisters (especially non-canonical ones) are guided by the Holy Spirit, where the men are hypocrites and failures.
One receives a dim, never-developed picture of oppressive and scandalous priests, as if there were nothing positive to be said for the priesthood or males in general. The references to sisters, which seem based entirely on what Jackowski has discussed with people she knows, are a string of feminist exercises in self-esteem, interwoven with references to pagan customs and goddesses.
This book is totally devoid of scholarly merit or intellectual insight. It does not even treat of the supposed topic. I'm surprised it ever was published.
I wrote Nuns and Priests the Great Divide and loved this book. It will certainly tick off cradle catholics who hate the truth of this and my own book. Marian O'Mara
