    Why was the ceremony not conducted in a Catholic Church?

    Good question, you would have to be Catholic for that.

    Incredible - I think that we need more women ordained in whichever religion they prefer to follow - God does not only call men to follow him.

    Just one thing - I am currently struggling with 1 Timothy 2:12 - how can I justify what the Bible says against what I personally feel should happen?

    If you try to walk around 1 Timothy 2:12, why dont you try reading 2 Timothy 4:3

    When you can read the bible and feel that you have to justify your own feelings. Then skip to another verse to make your own judgment of how you want to justify your own answer- then your simply trying to make your own answers and that's not how it works. Jesus did not leave these teaching for us to skip and make up our own answers- but to understand his teachings. The bible is not for us to look for answers that we want to here because of your own personal feelings. When you read the bible devoutly and spiritually the words that your read have to be from the way Jesus wants us to interpret them not by how we should justify our own will to satisfy us. When you read the verse of 1 Timothy 2:12 it simply states what it says. Mother Theresa states it best-Mary, the mother would have made the best priest of us all; yet she called herself, and remained, the handmaid of the Lord. This feminine devotion to the divine mother is a woman's way to the heart of Christ. God Bless you!!
