Sr. Martha Ann Kirk, CCVI, Professor of Religious Studies and coordinator of the undergraduate religious studies program at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, is a liturgical dancer and peace activist who has said she desires to be a priest, according to a Baltimore Sun article in Nov. 2000. 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.

Wait until after the October Synod and see if there's a significant change.
Don't these Priests and Bishops and Archbishops understand that they will be held accountable for EVERY person's soul which failed to obtain heaven due to their negligence? Are they THAT ignorant or THAT self-absorbed with their positions and fear of losing prestige?
1 Timothy 2:15b know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Note of Vs 15 "The pillar and ground of the truth"... Therefore the church of the living God can never uphold error, nor bring in corruptions, superstition, or idolatry.
16 And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.
