Group Ordains North Carolina's 2nd Woman Priest
AP ^ | May 1, 2017 | Staff

A rebel Catholic group has ordained its second woman priest in North Carolina, the first in the 46 counties that constitute the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte.

News outlets report that the Association of Roman Catholic Woman Priests ordained 64-year-old Abigail Eltzroth on Sunday at Asheville's Jubilee, a nondenominational faith community. The group is opposed to the Roman Catholic Church's ban on women priests.

This witch was a Presbyterian who became a so called Catholic. Despite voluntarily joining a denomination that does not have women priests she decided to automatically excommunicate herself. Nothing stopping her from becoming an Episcopalian.

“A rebel Catholic group”

Such groups are called ‘Protestants’.

Ya, at best this is just symbolic isn’t it? We are not seeing womne being ordained by official Catholic clergy or other officials. It’s a rebel Catholic group?

She may or may not be a Christian, but she’s certainly not a Catholic.

It’s all a fairly transparent fake and fraud. The usual next act in the play is for the local Roman Catholic Bishop do declare her excommunicated if she doesn’t repent. She’ll reply by not repenting, and that more or less ends the drama.

If you think that women should be Priests, fine. Knock yourself out, its not illegal, you won’t go to jail.

However, if you think that you can have women Priests, and be in communion with the Church in Rome, you are mistaken. They can and will kick you out.

I’m Protestant. The number and intensity of critics of the Roman Church who claim to be Catholics amazes me. If you want to stay in the Church, deal with its rules. If you disagree that badly, then quit and go found a new church or find a different church. It worked for Martin Luther.

A priest must be trained in a seminary for several years learning about the Catholic faith and priestly duties and responsibilities. He must also be ordained by a proper authority. They must also make several vows including obedience to the church.

Catholic priest are a direct line from Jesus Christ. Jesus ordained Peter and the apostles. The apostles ordained the early Catholic priests. All Catholic priests today are part of that direct line.

This group are not Catholic. They are not followers of Christ. They are political opportunists and attention seekers wwith no sincere faith or spirituality whatsoever.

And then I would guess that the media will run with such a story as these rebels trying to make a stand for equal rights for women.

The media will be shocked, just shocked that these women could be excommunicated from the church. What about feminism and equal rights for women, will be the concerns of the media members who report this. Likely media who know nothing about Catholicism, but will feel free to pontificate about how the church clearly doesn’t approve of equal rights for women. That could be how they report it.

This is typical media-driven violence against the Catholic Church.

Hype up nonsense like this to try and build a movement and split up the Church. Media is evil.

No, in this case they’re called “anathema”.

There once were some ladies whose mania
Was liturgical extemporanea
Their rank has increased
To Cardinal, at least
And I am the Queen if Romania!!

Actually, Catholic priests are in the order of the high priest Melchizidek.

“Thou art a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizidek”.

Right out of the ordination liturgy.

The Catholic Church should really enforce a copyright on the word Catholic.

No. She is not even Christian. There are no “woman” pastors in Christian “churches”; it is a perversion of nature since women are designed to have children and care for their own children. They don’t have time for the “care” of adult males, etc. and if adult males need a “caring” mother, they are puerile and emasculated.

Women can lead in other compacities, but NOT as the lead “pastor”. It is CREEEEEEEPY to have women playing mother to grown males in a congregation because that is what happens. Males should have been formed by moral, mature women, and no longer should be in need of a lecturing women in such a distorted, emasculating evil capacity.

It is an abomination and a removal of God’s Design of male and female. Women should never be in “charge” of adult males. They are too emotional—(irrational/maternal) by nature, and it destroys the nurturing instinct and emasculates adult males.

What we see in the suicide of Germany is this distortion in culture for children so that men are completely emasculated (servile) and women practace their maternal instincts (not on own children) but on refugees—so they “love” the invasion, their little children. This inversion of the masculine and feminine, will collapse civil societies and the Testosterone- led cultures will be the dominate ones (take over the weak, emasculated males very easily.

When you warp the maternal instinct by putting it as the “head” of an organization like a “Church”-—it warps it into an emotional, irrational “Rick Warren” mess (like the rise of women did to all “Protestant” denominations, which allowed “women” to “lead” (lol) churches. It basically destroyed those “churches. and created the feminized Joel Osteen-type of congregations-—the girly sodomized boy type—emasculated churches which are so prevalent today, which allows homosexuality (total feminization/warping of sex) which is literally removal of Truth (God) and Reason (Natural Law) simply for the emotionality of women.

The few exceptions of great female leaders don’t matter since males controlled them anyhow; they are not a true feminine example for children. Males and Females are complimentary—never in competition with each other and the maternal instinct warps cultures and removes Reason, where it is allowed to flourish in the evil, warped Merkyl ways.
