Roman Catholic Womenpriests: in national news magazine: Ms-"Vatican Justice"


Vatican Justice" by Bill Frogameni

makes a contrast between priests who molest children who are protected by Catholic hierarchy and priests who support womenpriests.
Article highlights Roy Bourgeois who stood with " trailblazers of the female ordination movement in Lexington KY. to make Janice Sevre-Duszynska a Catholic priest."
This article quotes Sr. Mary Ann Walsh, spokesoman for th e U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "The church believes that the intent of Jesus ' founding of the priesthood is that it was reserved for men," explained Sister Mary Anne Walsh spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
But speaking for the group Roman Catholic Womenpriests, Bridget Mary Meehan, herself ordained in 2006, and subsequently excommunicated, disputes that teaching:
Jesus never ordained anyone." says Meehan. "And in the tradition, women were ordained deacons, priests and bishops for the first 1200 years." p. 18.

Roman catholic womenpriests is an independent catholic international group that asserts a connection to the Roman catholic church. The mission of RCWP is to primarily spiritually prepare, ordain, and support women from all states of life, who are committed to an inclusive model of church. Thanks a lot.
