Oh man! I was in the office at the Church and everyone was in the priest's office. Sister was horrified and so was our priest (he's conservative but he thinks priests should be able to get married, he's also sick and in a bad ass mood). I defended Ratzinger a little and they didn't want to hear and then I went back to my office and jumped up and down for joy. I thanked God heartily. I didn't pray for Ratzinger, I have just been praying to the Holy Spirit to come and renew the face of the earth.

Funny story you recounted. I suspect the pastoral associate nun at our (former) parish is sick to her stomach at this time. She is an advocate of women priests and an active member of VOTF (probably only because there isn't an active chapter of WeAreChurch or WomynPriests or CTA around) and basically a liberal Episcopalian.

Please God, make me humble (I am already grateful) that I don't savor this moment while gloating somewhat. BUT I JUST CAN'T HELP IT!!!
