Erin Hanna, Executive director of Women's Ordination, Miriam Duignan of Womenpriest.org , and Maryknoll priest Fr. Roy Bourgeois were detained by Roman police. They were part of an international delegation who came to Vatican with 15,000 signatures of support for Fr. Roy who faces dismissal from the Maryknoll Order for his support of women priests.
The interesting twist to this story is that the police did not detain Roman Catholic Women Priests Janice Sevre-Duszynska, Ree Hudson or Deacon Donna Rougeux, who were part of the international delegation who accompanied Fr. Roy to the Vatican. The reason seems to be that they were vested in liturgical attire! If this is so, then this is one for the history books! See Associated Press Photo below of Women Priests Janice and Ree dressed in alb and stoles.
