Paperback

‘Look Back to the Future’ brings to the reader a history and tradition that is normally overlooked in the Catholic Church – the history of consecrated women in Britain.  Within this work, the author provides us with a detailed historical tour of the Catholic female consecrated life from Columba’s time to date, demonstrating that women in the past have held much more influential roles in the church than they do today.

If women have been so influential in the past, Flint argues, then there is no reason why they cannot be influential today and have their previous authority restored within the modern church.
