CHICAGO (CNS) -- Before the cardinals locked into the Sistine Chapel had a chance to cast their first ballot April 18, a group protesting the lack of women's voices in the conclave gathered outside Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago to send up billows of bright pink smoke along with prayers for women to be heard. The event featured statements from several organizations supporting the ordination of women that called on the church to open its doors fully to women's participation. "At a time when young women are sold into slavery around the world, when war brings the rape of women, when it is women and children who suffer in poverty on earth and organized religions keep women in bondage celebrating the language of a male God, we know we cannot keep the silence demanded by male leadership in a church that claims to speak out for human rights," said Dominican Sister Donna Quinn, a member of the National Coalition of American Nuns.
Ditto, that!
Behold! The triumph of the feminist movement. Women are now as equally oppressed as men. Congrat's!
The line to St. Peter is unbroken. It's best to leave it that way.

I am willing to bet that Sister Quinn would also want to allow gay clergy as well.
Auto-de-fe? What's an Auto-de-fe?
I recall a column by George Will when JPII first visited America. A nun was asking the Pope about women priests, the Pope said it wasn't gonna happen, the usual suspects got up on their hind legs and took the Pope to task for not being "inclusive". Goerge Will answered them and at the end he wrote (if memory serves) "WHO does he (JPII) think he is! He thinks he's the Pope...and he's right."
The Cathedral didn't shoo them away?
...we know we cannot keep the silence demanded by male leadership in a church that claims to speak out for human rights," said Dominican Sister Donna Quinn...
as she handed out "Pope Donna" pins...
LOL. But I can't knit...
Exactly.
This "modern moralism" of the world is not of God, but of man. It is the humanist theology, not the teaching of the Bible, and is contrary to Church theology.
I think these apostates would be more comfortable in their own denomination.
2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
If the smoke is white, there's a new Pope tonight.
If the smoke is black, Cardinals gotta go back.
If the smoke is pink, I don't know what to think.
If the smoke is yellow, the Conclave's turning mellow.
If the smoke is red, there's litte to be said.
If the smoke is green, no progress to be seen.
If the smoke is purple, sugar is sweet.
If the smoke is orange, so's maple surple.
A lot. I'm pretty sure she isn't interested in men, if you know what I mean.
Babies? These womyn should not procreate.
The pink smoke is a great PR move. Lots of free publicity for their cause.
I have some smoke of my own to send in Sister's general direction.....
Speaking of her granddaughter, Scott said, "My dream for Sophia is to have a woman priest in every parish, and then I think Rome will understand that women are equal to men." http://www.nbc5.com/slideshow/4389578/detail.html?qs=;s=14;w=320
