In July, the Vatican branded the ordination of women as priests a delictum gravius, or grave crime, the same label it has given pedophilia. That may have been in response to the small but increasing number of women who have been ordained priests by rebel Catholic congregations in the U.S. and other parts of the world. For example, Roman Catholic Womenpriests, a group founded eight years ago in Europe, has ordained women in more than 20 American states and Canada. The Pope, in an interview published in late November, remained adamant that the Church has no biblical authority to ordain women as priests because all of Jesus' disciples were women."View the full list for "The Top 10 Everything of 2010"Bridget Mary's Reflection:The Vatican is the gift that keeps on giving to Roman Catholic Women Priests! Their opposition has propelled major media coverage and galvinized public support. It is obvious that Catholics and others believe that the time for the full equality of women in the church is now!The Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests ordain women who are called by God to serve in a renewed priesthood in a community of equals.Bridget Mary Meehan, RCWPAssociation of Roman Catholic Women Priestshttp://www.associationofromancatholicwomenpriests.org/

I think Time has changed the link
I found the story at

That's great news! When you're trying to get noticed and effect change, there's no such thing as bad press.
As an aside, it strikes me as an interesting commentary on the level of coverage of religion in the mainstream press. Here we have a story of 135 words, and it's the #6 story of the year!?
The corrected link that Roberta posted does work.
Great news! Let's just give up on the Vatican and get on with God's work.
