"Sounds like Sister Elizabeth wants the Catholic Church to ordain women. It isn't nice to put your own personal political agenda ahead of the Church's teachings and traditions."

You guys are reading something into her remarks that just isn't there. You don't have to be a priest to "go and preach the good news of the resurrection...". What exactly do you think that non-cloistered nuns have been doing for centuries? And in fact what is required of ALL Catholics--ordained and laity alike.

Mother Theresa and Mother Angelica are two examples of women who spread the Gospel far more effectively than 99.99 % of the bishops and priests who were contemporary with them.
