An 80-year-old Orlando woman, who is no stranger to activism, said she's become the first woman in central Florida to be ordained as a Catholic priest.
Rita Lucey's ordination ceremony was not sanctioned by the Vatican, but nothing was going to stop her from her lifelong dream of becoming a priest in her own Catholic faith.
"I don't know that I don't have words to describe that, I really don't. That was joyous," Lucey said.
The great grandmother joins a movement of more than 200 women across the world becoming priests. But she said taking a stand comes with a penalty: automatic excommunication from the Catholic Church.

There’s a lot of that going around these days.
Whatever she may be, she ain’t no priest. Why don’t we all play a nice game of Charades while we’re at it? Oh well, all the world’s a stage -—
WFTV ! Isn’t that the same station that reported Trayvon Martin was shot in cold blood by that “white hispanic” George Zimmerman ?
< shrug > She could be an Episcopal Priest ... but that wouldn’t be “countercultural”, nor an opportunity to “stick it to the man”.
ROFL!!!!
Who is he to judge?
It’s annoying that the stupid TV station doesn’t have comments. They’d get an earful.
She has not been ordained a Catholic priest. Just because I can wear a Star Wars costume doesn’t mean I’m Darth Vader.
Another liberal living in their own reality.
Ever visit San Fransicko?
She is not a real priest and any twisted form of communion she passes out is a fraud and a fake.
That is a hilarious comment!
Priestess maybe??? How can she be a Priest?
sorry, she isn’t a priest in the Catholic Faith. Pope says no—it aint so.
And that right there makes you more "Catholic" than this sad, deluded old lady will ever be.
Okay.
Yes. Fortunately I got out with my undercarriage fully intact and unmolested.
Thank you. I’ll be here all night. Please try the veal.
I just named myself starting shortstop for the Cleveland Indians.
