The new leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI, has pledged a hard-line stance against the ordination of women and promises a commitment to traditional church values. So what does that mean for the efforts of church feminists like Sister Joan Prejean (PRAY-zhohn) and other women who have influenced the Catholicism? This on Here on Earth, Jean Feraca and her guest discuss the future of Catholic women's activism.
