You will be inspired by this moving story. Fr. Roy shares photos and experiences of family, service to country, priesthood, missionary work, peace and justice advocacy with SOA Watch. After preaching the homily at Janice's ordination, Roy received a letter from the CDF asking him to recant his support of women's ordination which he refused to do. After prayer and reflection, Roy responded in a letter stating: "Silence is the voice of complicity. Therefore, I call upon all Catholics, fellow priests, bishops, Pope Benedict XVI, and all Church leaders at the Vatican to speak out loudly on this grave injustice of excluding women from the priesthood."
Roy has put everything on the line - even membership in his beloved Maryknoll Order. His prophetic witness has shaken up the Vatican and has challenged all of us to join together in mutual support and solidarity for justice and equality in our church. Well done, Roy and thank you for your courageous witness for women priests! Now justice like a mighty river is rising as more believers around the world express their support for women's ordination including 1500 European priests!

Like this fellow ever shut his mouth a day in his life. He's your run of the mill activist priest. It's all about him.
