Ugh - I have no interest in reinforcing your navel.

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.

LOL good call.
That progressive tradition is obviously still alive, as the church welcomed not only the women priests but a group of married male Catholic priests who also practice outside the reach of Rome.
“Johnson ordained the seven women at Morristown’s (Episcopalian) Church of the Redeemer.”
How dare the Catholic Church allow these excommunicated women to be ordained in an Episcopalian church. It just shows how terrible the Catholic Church is and that Catholics are 1000s of denominations like the different sorts of Baptists, Lutherans and Presbyterians or something. Obviously.

Well, they’re not Roman Catholic. RC Priests don’t generally wear the stole over top the chasuble, it’s worn underneath. It’s rare to see one worn over top the chasuble.
The stole over one shoulder is a Deacon, so those folks are not Priests, either.
I assume "demonination" is a typo.
Attempting ordination of a female results in excommunication, and is objectively schismatic and heretical. These women are every bit as much "inside the Roman denomination" as you are, and no more.
That "roof" certainly does not cover these ladies, so about whom are you speaking?
“I assume “demonination” is a typo.
Demonic Autocorrect!!!
I worked with a Catholic lady who was really "into" Mary. She asked her "Priest" if God is female. He said "You can think of God as female if you want".
Catholics that I know are not even aware of most Catholic doctrines and upon hearing them will say "I don't believe that one" or "I'm not sure about that one".
“Catholic women priests fight for inclusion — for all”
Their premise is either extremely ignorant of God’s design and intent and symbolisms of the post of priesthood or knowing them they (or some of them) are intentionally trying to destroy it out of hatred for God (malice).
Let us illustrate: If inclusion is so necessary for all, then why not insist that the negative (-) and positive (+) terminals of a car battery both be permitted at the same time to be connected to the same positive (+) post on the car’s starter?
What will happen? (The wires will melt and a fire will start in the engine compartment.)
And that would be part of “inclusion for all” with regard to electrical physics.
That is to say, that is why “inclusiveness” is not one of the ten commandments, nor is it the first and foremost commandment, contrary to what “women priests” would like us to believe.
“Oh pleeeaaase! I have navel lint that is more Catholic than these heretics.”
;)
Well, I thought it was funny.
There are no Catholic women priests. None. Not anywhere. There are some deluded women who may have at one time had some connection to the Catholic Church but they are not Catholic now.
I’ve been thinking lately....
When the Levites were given the priestly calling in the Old Testament, why didn’t all the other tribes complain? Why didn’t they say, “Hey, it’s not fair!! Why them and not us?! Other people can say prayers and do rituals! The religion is obviously ‘tribe-ist’ and needs to change with the times! We can appoint our own priests if they feel the calling!”
The other tribes had the good sense not to second-guess God and His preferences in the matter of who would be His priests. Would that more people today had that humility and reverence for God’s authority.
I don’t mind that women want to be priests. I don’t mind if women eventually end up being priests, if that’s where the Holy Spirit guides the Church. But I do mind arrogant whiners and people who think they know more than God does about who He wants to call for what job.
In a separate ceremony, the women also all inducted themselves into the office of President of the United States with one insisting she actually was Georgette Washington, the reincarnation of the feminine side of our first president.
There is no such thing.
Don’t tell me! I post. You decide.
YOPIOCCC
Each man his own pope.

When the Catholic church ex-communicates them, then you are free to disown them.
Until then, it’s not your decision to make.
