why do people insist on painting a bulls-eye across America?
To: Jaysun
I'm not Catholic but this makes me sick. Why would women want to be ordained in the first place? So they can found their very own Protestant sect and be ministers in it, of course. :-)

You are right. The Catholic Church does NOT sanction female priest, they never have, and never will. It is strictly an instrument of discipline and tradition.
These women are Catholic In Name Only. They fall under "latae sententiae", or automatic excommunication. These women either do not know or understand this, or simply don't care. It is likely that a formal excommunication from their bishop, or even the Pope himself would not mean anything to them. They have decided that they will do what they want to, and not what God wants.

uncharted spiritual waters Baloney ... The waters of apostasy and excommunication are well charted indeed. Even this particular brand of apostasy and excommunication.

Any reason why that couldn't be done with THIS set of clowns? At the very least, the bishops should make a formal announcement of excommunication in all parishes across the US, and clarify the church's position on women's ordination. Every catholic should clearly understand why women can't be priests.

Just because they say so.....doesn't make it so. For example, I hereby declare myself chair of the women's studies department of the Univ. of Texas.
All you grant money belong me.

this "ordination" sounds as phony as a $3 bill. As a popular expression, you're spot-on. This is a candidate for CfE's "hit the nail on the head" graphic.
As a matter of historical trivia ... Did you know that actual, legitimate, valid "three dollar bills" have been issued in the past:

back when private banks issued most paper currency? This one, however, is more appropriate to these 'ladies':

More like Cathars than Catholics, I think.
This publicity stunt is not even worthy of a *yawn*.

Amen! Preach it, brother!
In this case Baptists (at least the Independent Baptists) and Catholics are singing from the same page. It's one thing to have a friendly (I hope) argument or two on doctrine . . . but if we don't hang together when it comes to the infidels and liberal loons, we will most assuredly hang separately.
My ggg grandfather was a Baptist deacon - he was probably already spinning in his grave at the thought that I was an Episcopalian, but now that I've turned Papist he's probably up to 3800 RPM and red line . . .

The mainstream media is generally ignorant of Catholic issues, theology, spirituality, etc. I work in the press, and I confront their ignorances and prejudices on a daily basis.

Actually, you can purchase an ordination online for as little as $9.99 or free of charge if you look harder. They send you a little certificate and everything. Marriages performed by these charlatanspastors are perfectly legal. I know one of them.

From the head of the Anti-Catholic Troll hunters I would like to award you the "Humanitarian of the Day" Award. It's so nice to see someone who does not consider us an enemy. Ditto that.

I echo my fellow former-ECUSA-now-Catholic sisters sentiments: Amen, right on, and preach it, brother! My buddy ArrogantBustard mentioned one of my favorite pictures, and you , my friend deserve it, 'cause you hit the nail right on the head!
To: muawiyah
Well, it is Church doctrine that every word contained in the Canonical epistles is indeed the written Word of God. Paul wrote much of those epistles.
So, you must be referring to people who do not respect this doctrine.
Those would be utterly schismatic, at best, and likely heretical into the bargain.
Not a group which is going to have much pull in the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
IMHO.
Or are you referring to some writing by St. Paul NOT contained in Holy Scripture?
To: Carolina
Holy frijoles. My core reaction is revulsion at the perversion. Women are not called to be "priests" of any kind, except in terms of evangelization. The "goddess" rosary is absolute idolatry.
To: BelegStrongbow
It had thought until now that all of us within the pale of Christian orthodoxy held that we had the "inspired Word of God", not just a handbook of rules personally delivered by God to mere scribes.
Guess I was wrong. Islam must be winning the battle for the hearts and minds.

BTW, in many circles, rosaries (aka "prayer beeds"), in and of themselves, are idolotry.

You have the gift of common sense, my friend. Not many self-described Catholics have it.
