"Hudson said that since her ordination, she and McGrath have traveled extensively, giving talks and celebrating Mass in a number of Midwestern cities. She said the group has recently had ordinations in Minnesota and Canada, and upcoming ordinations are scheduled in Oregon and Massachussetts.Hudson said there were 29 Roman Catholic Womenpriest priests in the U.S. (with 21 deacons waiting to be ordained as priests in the organization) and about 75 Roman Catholic Womenpriest priests around the world."It's amazing to us how much of a problem 75 people are causing for the all-powerful Catholic church," said Hudson, who said the Vatican decree was evidence that Rome is "running scared.""If anything, (the decree) gives us more impetus to go forward because it means we've got their attention," said Hudson. "The people are behind us."
