Delusional Womyn Anointed "Catholic" Deacons, Priest in Santa Barbara


“Is the candidate worthy?” intoned Bishop Patricia Fresen ceremonially, as lifelong Catholic Juanita Cordero stood before her in a pure white gown, about to be ordained as a priest.

Patricia Fresen again pretends to be something which can never be - a Catholic bishop...yet dozens if not hundreds of confused, ignornant, or obstinately rebellious join in the charade.

The question was asked three times during the ordination ceremony on Sunday, July 22, as one female priest and two female deacons were invested with the power to perform sacraments — a function forbidden to women under canon law.

The "Power to perform sacraments"? The people refuse to accept objective reality. They live in a dream world, a fantasy land.

They are part of a movement from within the Roman Catholic Church that
has been ordaining female priests since 2002, though those involved say that the tradition of women priests and bishops dates as far back as Mary Magdalene, whom they consider an apostle of Jesus.

Actually, this is not a "movement from within the Roman Catholic Church" but it exists outside the CHurch as these people have efffectively separated themselves from the Church. Not only do they exhibit a distorted understanding of history, they presume to decide, on their own authority, what the Church has done and what she must do.

Archbishop Burke, in his most recent column, reflected on such people:
From the beginning, the unity of the Church has been severely tested by those who have wanted to form and lead the Church in a direction that suited their ideas and preferences but was not the mind of Christ...Sometimes, most sadly, groups of the faithful have refused to accept the decisions of the Roman Pontiff and the bishops in communion with him, and have broken communion with the Church.

This is precisely what we see here.

The participants in this movement fervently hope to be embraced by the Vatican, as other splinter groups have been before them.
Splinter groups? Well, it's apparent that they "hope" for the theologically impossible - so they hope in vain. Poor souls, deceived by the evil one and blinded by pride, they have set themselves adrift in a sea of confusion and sin.
