Roman Catholic Womenpriests: "Women Priests Will No Longer Be Contained" by Janice Sevre-Duszynska in Cincinnati.Com





"The Holy Spirit moves in grace and truth among the grassroots and cannot be deterred - even by the Vatican. In recent years, women have reclaimed their ancient heritage within the Church. Today there are about 100 women ordained as Roman Catholic Womenpriests.
Your farewell article on Archbishop Pilarczyk contained a chart indicating that there are 482 Roman Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. That is an error you may want to correct for the incoming archbishop, Dennis Schnurr.
As an ordained Roman Catholic Womanpriest, I make the total 483."
Janice Sevre-Duszynska, RCWP

I am curious about your thoughts. While I am still investigating your aguments for the ordination of women. Don't we need to be obedient to the Pope? Isn't obedience more important than sacrifice. Now you might say "I am being obedient to Jesus". Yet we believe that he established the Papacy and the whole heirarchy of the Church for that matter. We also know the God speaks through the heirarchy in the Pope, Councils, Catechism, and Liturgy. At what point do you say - I need to wait patiently on the Lord while I am obedient to her servants?

Father Janice says that she adds to the total of priests in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. But doesn't a priest need to have permission of the local Bishop to celebrate Mass in his diocese?

Again (I need to examine the arguments more indepth), this movement seems to be separate from the unity of the Church. While the claim is to be inclusive, Jesus claims those who are obedient.

At what point does saying - We know better than those other guys -become schism?

I am interested in dialogue.
