"The flap caught my eye for a couple reasons. First, it is the only such ceremony I'm aware of in which a priest in good standing participated openly. Second, the statement from the Maryknoll Fathers is striking for its lack of criticism, and for its description of the role of women in the church as a justice issue..."
"As a Catholic priest- and this is important- I cannot possibly speak out about the injustice of the war in Iraq, about the injustice of the School of the Americas and the suffering it causes, and at the same time be silent about this injustice in my church," he said. "I belong to a huge faith community where women are excluded, and I have a responsibility to address this."

"Jesus was a person who empowered others, liberated others, who gave you a sense of freedom " from whatever the parameters culturally, socially, religiously that you were suffering from. What we're doing in Roman Catholic womenpriests is restoring the church, we're rebuilding the church. We're restoring it to the Gospel vision, what Jesus called it to be, not Canon Law, which discriminates against women and other people. "
