Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Update needed
When I first read this book, I was fascinated and horrified, but in the intervening years much has happened in the Catholic Church, and the generation of feminists about whom Ms Steichen writes is aging and dying. They have not been replaced, as far as I can tell; younger people with similar views simply leave the Church, and there is a new orthodoxy abroad.
If Ms Steichen were to produce an updated version, I would be one of the first to buy it. I would love to know what the current ... Read More
Rating:  - Want to hear the VOICES of conservative Catholic women.... then don't read this book.
First of all, this is good book for Catholic feminists to understand what our conservative opposition believes and says about us, but it can also be masochistic to spend time reading this. (And don't buy it... once you've read it... you've read it so go to the library instead)

Rating: - Means well, but could have used more polish
UNGODLY RAGE is an examination of feminist movements in the Roman Catholic Church by journalist Donna Steichen. A devout Catholic herself, Steichen sees feminism as a malevolent force destroying the Church, and her book intends to alert the laity to this growing but little-understood movement. My opinion on the book is mixed.
The book consists of a series of case studies in which Steichen examines an event in the Church, such as a problematic seminar, heterodox publishing, or public statements ... Read More
Rating:  - Half journalism, half inflammatory
Though I daresay that Mrs Steichen and I would vary greatly in both approach and emphasis, there are certain points she sets forth which are valid and basically well reported - for example, the use of Wiccan rituals by women religious being detrimental to the spiritual life, and the distortion in values that can arise from exagerrated feminism. I would agree, as well, with some (emphasis on 'some') of her assessments of particular feminist 'voices' to which she refers. Yet the journalist, who I have no doubt ... Read More
