"Anyone upon whom the ecclesiastical authorities, in ignorance of the true facts, impose a demand that offends against his [her] clear conscience should perish in excommunication rather than violate his conscience."

 St. Thomas Aquinas, Sentences IV, 38, 2, 5

Pope Benedict canonized two formerly excommunicated nuns, Mother Theodore Guerin and Mother Mary MacKillop, thereby making excommunication the new fast track to canonization.
So, one could propose that women priests and our supporters are Excommunicated Today, but could be Canonized Tomorrow! Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP, www.arcwp.org
