Women Anointed Catholic Deacons, Priest in Santa Barbara CA

Bishop Patricia Fresen ordains Juanita Cordero a Roman Catholic priest.

"The reason that the women are determined to remain Roman Catholics, instead of forming their own church or joining another — such as the Episcopal Church, which ordains female clergy — is that they consider the Roman Catholic Church to be their family, albeit a dysfunctional one, and they have no intention of abandoning it."

ROFL!!

Well they can call themselves anything they want. In reality, they are heretics.

[MudPuppy]

“At least two Santa Barbara women are studying to be ordained, perhaps as early as next year. Besides their gender deviating from the Catholic priest norm, neither the priest nor the two deacons ordained on Sunday — who are scheduled for re-ordination as priests on July 28 — is celibate. Norma Coon, of San Diego, has been married for 40 years. Toni Tortorilla, of Portland, lives with her lesbian partner. Cordero, a newly anointed priest who lives in San Luis Obispo, is a former nun who has been married for 30 years to a former Jesuit priest.”

GAG ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where’s some heavenly lightening when you need it???

Reporters also agreed not to print the names or orders of the nuns in attendance.

Shall we? I'll begin .... Here's my first guess.

The participants in this movement fervently hope to be embraced by the Vatican, as other splinter groups have been before them.

The participants in this movement must be fervently smoking crack cocaine!

Someone needs to start calling them Excommunicated and I believe that someone is called the Pope!

THAT’S A MAN, BABY!

[AnAmericanMother]

“Is the candidate worthy?” intoned Bishop Patricia Fresen ceremonially. . .

NO.

Now go away.

[netmilsmom]

>>THAT’S A MAN, BABY!<<

She wishes.

Never heard of a female bishop, nor a female priest, not in the Catholic church, so this must be some other form of religion. One can not claim to want to ‘remain in a group’ which you’ve already turned your back on.

Gode? Ghads, people just...

Link to Bishop Clark's shism church which ordained one of our now X nuns...........

I can't help but notice that gray hair abounds in this movement and others like it... suggests to me that actions like these are death rattles.

All the while the "young fogey" traditional and orthodox Catholics are suiting up to clear the stables after 40 years. And unlike the 'womynpriest' crowd, the orthodox Catholics actually have priests that are real priests.

They added that excommunication, contrary to popular belief, does not remove one from the church; it only means that one cannot receive the sacraments. “Nothing can put you out of the church once you have been baptized,”

Every member of the Church Militant who obstinately remains separated from Holy Mother Church by sin or schism risks not having a place in the Church Triumphant.

Something about millstones come to mind...

[Aquinasfan]

They are part of a movement from within the Roman Catholic Church...

Uh, calling yourself a Catholic doesn't necessarily make you one.

“It’s in my blood. There are a lot of things wrong within the church, but I love it, and the only way to change it is to stay.”

These women seem like such dodos that you have to wonder about their moral culpability.

What other "splinter groups"? Anyone have any idea what they're talking about?
