wow. I didn't know they could do that.
The left had such great success in taking over so many other institutions inthe free world that it's setting it's sights on the biggie.
Obviously it intends the impeachment of God and the overthrow of Heaven itself.

Marie Bouclin is the author of this book.
Book Description
While sexual abuse of minors by clergy in the Catholic Church has received extensive news coverage, less attention has focused on adult women betrayed and sexually abused by priests. Seeking Wholeness shares the stories of women who have been abused and how the abuse has affected their lives. Marie Bouclin not only records their accounts, but provides a model of spirituality and social support aimed at promoting their physical and emotional healing.
As Bouclin recounts, even women therapists, spiritual counselors, and pastoral personnel working within the Catholic Church find themselves targets of clergy sexual abuse. Bouclin describes some of the conflicted psychological dynamics these women experience.
Critical of the current, hierarchical model of Catholic priesthood, Bouclin offers an alternative approach based on the person and mission of Jesus. She explores the power of reading Scripture and sharing personal prayer in small-group faith communities. By doing so, she shows the paths women who have been sexually abused by priests can take to healing and wholeness.
Taking the plunge into 'ordination' should prove to be a self fulfilling prophecy :-)

Marie Bouclin says she will be one of three women who will
PRETEND TO be ordained Roman Catholic priests in Toronto in a ceremony that will not be recognized by the church.
Fixed it.

funny. somewhere else I posted something about words and accusations being used by the irresponsible to obtain power.
The woman must have an issue. Hope she finds the grace for healing.
To: NYer
That’s nothing. Today I declared my English Mastiff a house cat. At 175 lbs he shows no interest in climbing trees and my wife doesn’t like the idea of him going in a litter box, but that is just repressing me in my right to declare him a house cat.
SO, all must say “kitty kitty” to him from now on.
By the way tomorrow the sun will rise in the West and liberals will have common sense.

By the way tomorrow the sun will rise in the West and liberals will have common sense. My guess is that the former will be the first to occur.

Has anyone else noticed that these women who know for an absolute fact that God has called each one of them personally to rescue the Catholic Church,
all have . . . how to say it . . . a certain "look" about them?
Like, totally nuts?
To: TaxachusettsMan
If nothing else, they are persistent, as if that would convince the Catholic Church to change its teachings. Notice the mention of “100” other seminarians. It would be so much less painful if they would simply follow in the footsteps of the former governor of NJ, McGeevey, and join the Episcopal Church.

Bishop Patricia Fresen from Germany will ordain Bouclin and the others, who are from the United States. Bishop A woman named Patricia Fresen from Germany will ordain imitate ordination rites and seemingly ordain Bouclin and the others, who are from the United States. There, that's better.

Also, for the first time, a married man will be ordained in a public ceremony by the movement. -snip- Brassard said the group started in 2002 and since then, 14 women priests in the United States and one in Canada have been ordained and more are on the way. and
She said the Eucharist (receiving communion) is the most important aspect of church life. However, "we are losing the Eucharist for lack of priests."
Apparently, for their group, 'fixing' the problem does not include ordaining unmarried men or encouraging vocations among unmarried men. But rather ordaining women and married men. Sigh.

I see a wide gap between the teachings of the Gospel and the legalism of the current church leadership.Golly, there's an original point of view.

Marie Bouclin says she will be one of three women who will be ordained Roman Catholic priests in Toronto in a ceremony that will not be recognized by the church. Translation: She is being ordained as a Protestant minister in a brand new Protestant sect.
