Catholic woman in secret "ordination"

A woman has been ordained as a priest in a secret ceremony in central Europe as an act of defiance against the Roman Catholic Church.

Of course she has...in a way, similar to some of the prime candidates for psychiatric treatment around the world who have declared themselves pope (Pope Pius XIII, Pope Michael, etc)...

..his [Cardinal Ratzinger's] stern admonitions have been ignored. Among those conducting the ordination the BBC witnessed, were women from the Danube Seven who now describe themselves as bishops.

Interesting...they went from "priests" to "bishops" in a mere three years all without the Holy See being involved...The fact that they have been excommunicated apparently makes no difference - they now have their own self-established 'church' founded on sand of which our Lord speaks to us in today's Gospel. What a sorry lot these 'womyn' are...

Before the service, the young woman at the centre of it all spoke about her act of defiance.

She admitted it worried her, but said: "I hope that in five years, in 10 years, things will change because there are many women who would like to go the same way, and the way will be a little better prepared for them".

Keep wasting time hoping, honey - it ain't gonna happen...Remember that Jesus said to His Apostles, "He who hears you hears Me and he who rejects you, rejects Me and the One Who sent Me."

She said she did not wish to be identified because she feared losing her job teaching religious education.

At a "Catholic" institution, no doubt...

That impression was confirmed by talking to Patricia, one of those conducting the ceremony, who had been ordained in a similar way.

Patricia has impeccable Catholic credentials. For 45 years she was a Dominican sister, nun and an academic, who trained with men destined for the priesthood.

IMPECCABLE credentials?????....Whoa, that's a stretch...St. Dominic would be proud, wouldn't he?

My first feeling was: I'm doing the same study as the men, and I'm being excluded from the priesthood. It's so damned unfair," she said.

Tell it to our Lord and see what He has to say to you...Remember the parable of the vinyard workers? I think it might apply here.

But Patricia insisted there is nothing in scripture to exclude women from the priesthood: "It's a human law, a Church law, and this has been changed a number of times over the centuries. And an unjust law need not be adhered to."

So we now see that she is not a "Catholic", but a "sola scriptura" protestant...Well then, that's a horse of a different color...
