"Mary Kay Kusner was raised as a quite traditional Roman Catholic.
On Sunday, she was ordained as a priest — a role for women that is anything but traditional in the Catholic Church.
Kusner’s ordination was made possible by the Roman Catholic Womenpriests organization, a group loyal to the church in its teachings and rituals but denounced by the church for its belief that women, too, can be priests.
“We’re growing very quickly, and the people are accepting us,” Roman Catholic Woman Bishop, Bridget Mary Meehan said..."

She wasn't ordained - she simulated an ordination.

This is not a cause for joy, but one for which we must implore God's mercy.

"She wasn't ordained - she simulated an ordination."

So you were there ? Or are you just voicing your human made laws from inside a building of MITE ?

"This is not a cause for joy, but one for which we must implore God's mercy."

This is cause for great JOY ! For the WOMAN has been called and will lead with God's Blessings - I know it is so hard for you folks to imagine Our Lord as an all inclusive loving God !

Power Corrupts !
Be careful - opps I guess I'm a little late on that one !

Crusader --

Have you ever wondered why the institutional church puts so much emphasis on male superiority?

How can misogyny be justified in terms of Galatians 3:28?

Neither sex nor gender make any difference in God's call. Those things make absolutely no difference. It is essential that the church makes this a non-issue.

I didn't need to be there to know nothing happened - besides, such support would result in a latae sentiate excommunication. I love Christ and His Church too much to throw it all away.

Yeah, maybe for Satan. God doesn't delight in sin and disobedience.

Sorry you don't see it the way the Church sees it.

As to not imagining God as being an all-loving and inclusive God...well, read Matthew 25, and tell me how inclusive God is towards the goats.

Power Corrupts!

Sin corrupts, too. I wonder if any Catholycs still believe in that.
