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.

Um, I’m not even Catholic, and even I know that she hasn’t been ordained a priest in the Catholic faith, because, by definition, the sacrament would be invalid.
Because its all about her of course.
Well, if the local media says she’s a Catholic Priest, then it must be so....
/s
May God forgive her. But first she has to repent, and that doesn’t look too likely.
Just think when all the baby boomers are in their 70s and 80s and 90s and using their age to demand respect and to continue to push their radical agenda down our throats.
The world can’t get rid of the radical baby boomers soon enough.
Psst, hey old lady over 30 that no one should trust, you are NOT a priest anymore than a man who dresses like a woman and even gets an operation is a woman.
She was not ordained as a priest. This was make-believe. She is an impastor.
um, no... it wasn't
The babe on the right, is she wearing an AIDs quilt?
“An 80-year-old Orlando woman...ordained as a Catholic priest.”
Ain’t no such.
Excommunicated priest? Is that something like an unhired employee?
They should form their own church of lesbian priestesses.
papal facepalm.
Hey why stop at Priest? Why not Bishop?
Anyone thinking that a she-priest will bring down blessings from God is suffering from a major delusion.
She is too ugly to be a nun.
Aim higher... if you are going to make yourself something, might as well make yourself a “Pope”. Then you can just change the rules you don’t like, eh?
Well give thanks that this is our radicalism, you’re always going to have it in every religion. Islams radicalism on the other hand is killing people. Today Obamas heroes ISIS executed 13 boys for watching a soccer game on TV in Iraq. They lined them up and shot them to death and threatened to kill their mothers if they ran to their bodies. These women want to make themselves Priests, who cares. That’s their life. Same with those Westboro Baptist church idiots, they want to have people hate their guts, let them. That’s freedom for you. As long as they don’t dictate to me, I could care less what kind of crap they do to themselves.
Wouldn't it be a lot "more fun" to be ordained "Great Supreme Omnigrand Wizard" of the Wicca instead?
That's nice. Y'know, if I had myself dunked in chocolate and shove a 2x4 up my ass, that still won't make me a fudgesicle.
