This piece of work is very influential in the Archdiocese in which I reside. I have previously posted pictures of her on FR where she was the Priestess/Presider at San Fernando Cathedral doing some neo Pagan liturgy. She is a past President of the Women's Ordination Conference.
Our former Archbishop was a great supporter of Sr. Kirk, and praised her work on inculturation (eg, Aztec Altar Dancers in loincloths) in a forward for one of her books.
As an aside, one needn't worry about the likes of Harry Potter when we have living, breathing religious like this corrupting the children, and young people here.
Several years ago, one of the sisters (her last name was Walsh, IIRC) at UIW brought an art exhibit to campus which portrayed unnatural acts between archangels, and human females-doing these acts on an altar, no less.
Despite the protestations of Catholics, the (now former) Archbishop said he could do nothing. It was only when huge numbers of Protestants here demanded action that he ordered the art exhibit removed.
I do wish our new Archbishop would assert his authority to rid us of these apostates and heretics. If he is praying for their conversion, I don't think it's working.
I worked in the same Dept. with Jane when she was

For those who are not familiar with that document, a couple of extracts:
27. Every Catholic University, without ceasing to be a University, has a relationship to the Church that is essential to its institutional identity. As such, it participates most directly in the life of the local Church in which it is situated; at the same time, because it is an academic institution and therefore a part of the international community of scholarship and inquiry, each institution participates in and contributes to the life and the mission of the universal Church, assuming consequently a special bond with the Holy See by reason of the service to unity which it is called to render to the whole Church. One consequence of its essential relationship to the Church is that the institutional fidelity of the University to the Christian message includes a recognition of and adherence to the teaching authority of the Church in matters of faith and morals. Catholic members of the university community are also called to a personal fidelity to the Church with all that this implies. Non-Catholic members are required to respect the Catholic character of the University, while the University in turn respects their religious liberty. (snip)Article 4. The University Community
§ 1. The responsibility for maintaining and strengthening the Catholic identity of the University rests primarily with the University itself. While this responsibility is entrusted principally to university authorities (including, when the positions exist, the Chancellor and/or a Board of Trustees or equivalent body), it is shared in varying degrees by all members of the university community, and therefore calls for the recruitment of adequate university personnel, especially teachers and administrators, who are both willing and able to promote that identity. The identity of a Catholic University is essentially linked to the quality of its teachers and to respect for Catholic doctrine. It is the responsibility of the competent Authority to watch over these two fundamental needs in accordance with what is indicated in Canon Law(49).
§ 2. All teachers and all administrators, at the time of their appointment, are to be informed about the Catholic identity of the Institution and its implications, and about their responsibility to promote, or at least to respect, that identity.
§ 3. In ways appropriate to the different academic disciplines, all Catholic teachers are to be faithful to, and all other teachers are to respect, Catholic doctrine and morals in their research and teaching. In particular, Catholic theologians, aware that they fulfil a mandate received from the Church, are to be faithful to the Magisterium of the Church as the authentic interpreter of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition(50).
§ 4. Those university teachers and administrators who belong to other Churches, ecclesial communities, or religions, as well as those who profess no religious belief, and also all students, are to recognize and respect the distinctive Catholic identity of the University. In order not to endanger the Catholic identity of the University or Institute of Higher Studies, the number of non-Catholic teachers should not be allowed to constitute a majority within the Institution, which is and must remain Catholic.
Article 5. The Catholic University within the Church
§ 1. Every Catholic University is to maintain communion with the universal Church and the Holy See; it is to be in close communion with the local Church and in particular with the diocesan Bishops of the region or nation in which it is located. In ways consistent with its nature as a University, a Catholic University will contribute to the Church's work of evangelization.
So are these just words or do these words have meaning? Only the local Ordinary will be able to tell us for sure...
Was she the one in the white bodysuit? Or maybe the one wearing the combination hijab-sari look that seems to be all the rage among the priestettes this season.
In case you're wondering what I'm talking about, somebody on another thread posted a trove of truly hilarious photos of these nitwits "ordaining" each other, clad in some truly strange garments. Or arrayed. Or draped in the contents of the Goodwill bag.
