I was "secretly ordained"....

...so now, I lay claim to be being a "Roman Catholic Priest"... But my false claims to have been ordained are not nearly as preposterous as those of Jean Marie Marchant, who for the last four years has been director of healthcare ministry for the Archdiocese of Boston:

Archdiocesan official quits, saying she was ordained

A department head at the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston has resigned her post after revealing that she had secretly participated in a ceremony last year in which she says she was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest.

"I've always seen my role as to stay within the church and to push the boundaries," Marchant said in an interview. "But I really came to see in the archdiocese that the change was not going to come about because we women were doing a good and worthy job, but that something more dramatic and drastic had to happen. Until we really took a very strong step and defied this very unjust law -- the canon in canon law that restricts ordination to men -- nothing was going to change."

A pseudo-Catholic, an imposter...

A 61-year-old native of Waltham, Marchant now lives in Framingham with her husband of 19 years, Ron Hindelang, a one-time Marist priest who left the priesthood for their relationship.

Newsflash....who woulda thunk it? More rejection of promises and vows...for?...what else...sex?

...at the University of Massachusetts at Boston she encountered other women being ordained in other denominations. She received a master's degree in divinity from the Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge...

Was she influeenced by some wayward Jesuits?

Marchant said she had attended the 2001 ordination of Mary Ramerman of Spiritus Christi Church, a breakaway Catholic congregation in Rochester, N.Y., and was moved to think seriously about her own sense of calling.

ME! ME! ME!....It's always about ME!...What an exemplary display of humility and prudence - Of course, we will be told that the unHoly Spirit was helping her to discern her "true" vocation...

"I don't know exactly where this will lead me, but there's such a hunger for the people to be ministered to in an inclusive fashion," she said. "I'm leaving myself open to whatever possibility comes along."

I think that what comes later is called "Hell"...a complete separation from God for all eternity - brought about by rejecting Christ and His Church, due, no doubt, to being overcome by pride...

Polls have repeatedly shown that a majority of American Catholics supports the ordination of women, but church officials say their policies are not determined by popular vote.

And most American Catholics support the use of artificial contraception, and most American Catholics have lost a faith in the "Real Presence"...Most American "Catholics" are in dire need of conversion, prayer, and catechesis.

The willingness of some women to be ordained in ceremonies that are not sanctioned by the Catholic hierarchy is radical, but reflects a trend, according to Ann Braude, director of the Women's Studies in Religion Program at Harvard Divinity School.

Radical? I think it's more than radical - it's a public manifestation of defiance and rebellion. It's a complete rejection of Christ and His Church...It's one thing to say that there are not (and never will be) ordained "priestesses", but in truth, can they even be called "Catholic"?

"It seems to me that this is picking up steam, and we're seeing more and more examples of it in a variety of settings, but how far it will go, only time will tell," Braude said.

It's picking up steam alright...how far will it go? Straight to hell! These sick and irrational women truly need our prayers. Besides endangering their own immortal souls, they cause serious scandal by which others may be led astray. These stories might be comical if it were not for the fact that these people have separated themselves from God and chosen instead to follow satan...
