Fake priests.

My daughter's mother in law is now a minister in some church and can perform marriages. Six kids and a widow.

The daughter does the "laying of hands on me" and is also full of cr**.

Demented old ladies are not ordained Roman Catholic priests. However the Episcopalians, the spiritual heirs of Henry VIII (a man who certainly was interested in women), would welcome her.

A “dissident group” has no authority to ordain a priest. This is just ridiculous posturing. If she wants to be a priest, she should go be an Episcopalian. She is not RC.

The ordination of women as priests, along with the issues of married priests and birth control, represents one of the big divides between U.S. Catholics and the Vatican hierarchy.

Uh, no, Reuters. These heretical notions divide only freaks like those described in the story from the true teachings of the Church. The real U.S. Catholics are not on board with the heretics.

Having just come from mass, this really irks me.

This ‘ceremony’ was not even held in a Catholic church!

so they’re pretend Catholics who know deep down in their heart they are fakes and now try to convince us all they are not.

The media can keep putting out their tripe on social issues and they can write articles as if it were true but it doesn’t mean some of us with a brain fall for it.

so I take my daughter to a building, get a few loons and pretend to ordain her and now state how she’s a Priest.

Idiots and the media write this because of their agenda and they have just shown what their true motives are when it comes to Catholics, Christians and religion.

the media yet again shows it’s true hand.

Writing this as if it were real and true.
She’s a nut, her few people are nuts and the media to write this and get attention and then ask or state how there is a difference between Rome and America is sickening.

Yeah, the media does not get the notion you are either inside or outside of church teachings. There is no divide an these issues.

Correct. Only in the media do the heretics speak for us.

You have to hand it to the wiccans, at least they aren’t afraid to use the right word.

My four year old son and 20 month old daughter are marching around the house quacking. They must be ducks not humans.

You can call a female a priest, but that doesn't actually make her a priest.

As the old story about Abe Lincoln goes:

"A boy, when asked how many legs his calf would have if he called its tail a leg, replied, ” Five.”

"To which the prompt response was made that calling the tail a leg would not make it a leg."
