I know her...she was a substitute priest once in our parish..she's waaaaaaay out there...very ultra left..her homily gave me a severe headache, as I recall..

I belong to a parish with a woman curate. She's actually very good. The rector is rather conservative politically but he's hired women curates who, if they are far-left whackjobs, never let their politics interfere with the workings of the parish.

When Jesus rose from the dead, the first people who saw Him were women. This shows me that he thought women were rather important because, in that time and that place, women were not exactly taken seriously. The fact that He showed that much trust in women is a reason why I have no problem with women as priests. It's the theology of the individual women that bother me (unfortunately, most women who become priests are left-wing nutjobs). Just as there are men whose theology I find offensive and whose qualifications for the priesthood I question.

Wow, I was just going by her website and her photograph (which looks like something out of a rock star magazine).

She looked pretty out there to me . . . and I've seen a lot of 'em. I guess in the South even the ultra leftists are more restrained.
