Liguori Still Selling Items by Woman "Deacon" McGrath

Interestingly, the author search capability on Liguori's website revealed no books by Elsie McGrath during the past couple of weeks...But as research has shown, the books and other items are still for sale by Liguori.

Apparently, in what seems to be an effort to hide the books from the search capability (previous post), someone at Liguori removed the Author's name from the inventory item. Searching by ISBN or Product Code revealed that the items were still available. Deceptive? Perhaps...

Have a look for yourself:

It should be noted that Roman Catholic Womenpriests issued a press release on October 15 on the upcoming "ordination" of two women in the St Louis Archdiocese:

On November 11, 2007, two women will be ordained as Roman Catholic priests in a historic ceremony in the city of Saint Louis. Rose Marie Dunn Hudson of Festus, Missouri, and Elsie Hainz McGrath of Saint Louis, will be ordained by Bishop Patricia Fresen of Germany...

Rose Marie and Elsie have both earned graduate degrees in theology and ministry, and have been engaged in active ministry for many years. Rose Marie is a retired school teacher, a wife, mother and grandmother. Elsie is a retired editor, a widow, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Prophetic obedience, a hallmark of the RCWP movement, led them to make this life-altering commitment and “walk the talk” of clerical reform in the Roman Catholic Church. As priests, they will continue to exercise a variety of volunteer ministries...

“It is an honor to celebrate these historic ordinations at CRC [Central Reform Congregation],” Bridget Mary Meehan, national spokesperson for RCWP, stated. “Catholic womenpriests work with all faith traditions for peace, justice, and equality in our world.”

One must wonder why Liguori dropped Meehan's books, while keeping McGrath's (albeit surrepticiously)?
