Inclusivity is a word the Roman Catholic Women Priests (RCWP) organization is built upon. The movement began in Germany in 2002 with seven women who were ordained on the Danube River by an Argentine Catholic bishop who cut his ties to Rome and began a church he believed would be more progressive.
Those women chose ex-communication by Rome, which, simply put, is like leaving a club you were never allowed to join.
So they started their own branch of the club and there are now 208 women priests worldwide, following Saturday's ordination.
"We are obedient to the Holy Spirit and disobedient to unjust laws," said Kathleen Gibbons Schuck, 59, a Summit native now living in Blue Bell, Pa.
But the differences between Rome-scripted ordination and the RCWP's ceremony were apparent. One was the gender-neutral liturgy. The word Lord was absent. God was not exclusively called Father, but Creator God, Creator Spirit and Life-Giving Mother, Gentle Father. Christ's disciples, a heavily male-oriented word, were described as friends. The prayer over the Eucharist is said by the whole church, meaning the congregation shares the power to bring the body and blood of Christ into their midst.

Didn't a FRoman Catholic just push this boundary in a discussion, is Jesus is a male or not?
There are no Catholic women priests.
The Catholic Church: 500,000 denominations all under one roof.
Yup!
Oh pleeeaaase! I have navel lint that is more Catholic than these heretics.
You're Orthodox IIRC. What's it like having schismatic navel lint?
Alex, ol' FRiend, you *almost* made me douse my laptop... that, sir, wins as post of the day!
:D

The old coopt rather than build structure. The left’s and the lazy person’s way. Thus was it always.
These harpies are worse than the trans-whatever psychos. Calling yourself something does not make you that thing. There are plenty of other cults out there in which they can live out this fantasy, but they are most certainly not Catholic.
Oh, they were invited. With open arms by the shed blood of the spotless Lamb. "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for it they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."
1 John 2:19
What I’m curious about is, who pays the salaries for these people. Are these full time jobs paid for by the weekly donations of real congregations that pack into pews every Sunday? Do these church’s have their own buildings? It’s hard to believe this goddess/priestess stuff draws much of a crowd on a weekly basis. And yet they look like they’re wearing fancy duds. The building is impressive. The money isn’t coming from the Catholic church and the building isn’t a Catholic church, so what demonination is this really? Who funds this?
“You’re Orthodox IIRC. What’s it like having schismatic navel lint?”
You are reinforcing my point. I am NOT Catholic (Roman anyways) and I am waaaay more Catholic than these overgrown children playing dress up.
Looks like a good research topic. I’m guessing there’s a satanist congregation somewhere funding an evangelist crusade.
You’re simply reinforcing his point.
Heretics. They really go out of their way to mistranslate the original Greek and Vulgate Latin translation.
The headline is misleading. These ladies are neither Catholic nor priests. I will assume they’re women, although these days, who knows?

Ah, these many beliefs inside the Roman demonination!
Such variety.
