... Jesus Christ retained his masculine identity, however...

Sigh.

You just know that there was a meeting about this one too.

Hi.

...after the first seven women priests ordained on the Danube in 2002 were promptly excommunicated, none of the other ordained females has been excommunicated.

Maybe that's because they hide their names and the place where this goofyness took place. But God knows.

“...took place at an interfaith center in Santa Barbara that reporters agreed not to name in exchange for an invitation to attend...”

Hmmm.... Look at the picture. I see an obviously modern (as in ugly) building with permanent stations of the cross imbedded in the wall (and, from the looks of it, the AC duct). Looks like a Catholic church bldg to me. Anyone else think so? Why else would the location be so “secret.”

Anyone here from Santa Barbara and recognize the interior? Some “progressive” parish priest may have some ‘splaining to do....

For the conversion of sinners.

They are part of a movement from within the Roman Catholic Church that has been ordaining female priests since 2002, though those involved say that the tradition of women priests and bishops dates as far back as Mary Magdalene, whom they consider an apostle of Jesus. The participants in this movement fervently hope to be embraced by the Vatican, as other splinter groups have been before them.

I see only a red x!

Is it just me?

[netmilsmom]

LOVE IT!

Them saying they are catholic is like me saying I’m a roman centurion. Saying it all they want does not make it so.

[TChris]

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

This is very much like those who practice polygamy, yet call themselves "Mormon". I can empathize with the annoyance it might cause.

>>This is very much like those who practice polygamy, yet call themselves “Mormon”.<<

Bugs me too.
If one is not listening to the actual rules of that denomination, they are no longer of that denomination.

[MarkBsnr]

Come on everyone. This is a logical extension of the doctrine of making it all up as you go along.

Don't be fooled:

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

No, all of these women, the male bishop(s) that "ordained" the first ones, and (if my understanding is correct) all those who participate willingly in their ceremonies are excommunicated latae sententiae (which means they've excommunicated themselves and may or may not receive a formal notice of excommunication).

that has been ordaining female priests since 2002,

Attempting to ordain is more accurate. They could attempt to ordain a duck or a chair or anything else that is not considered valid matter for the Sacrament of Holy Orders and have the same result: bupkis. The only valid matter is a validly baptized man.

though those involved say that the tradition of women priests and bishops dates as far back as Mary Magdalene, whom they consider an apostle of Jesus.

Dubious scholarship at best. From all orthodox scholarship, there is no evidence that Mary Magdalene was considered an apostle on par with the Twelve and their successors.

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

Given the nature of the documents Inter Insignores (1976) and Ordinatio Sacerdotalis (1994), the latter of which a number of Catholic scholars considers to contain an infallible statement regarding the ordination of women, I think not.

[Suzy Quzy]

uh.....no longer Catholic, let alone a Catholic PRIEST! Man, they are dancing on the trapdoor of hell.

[AnAmericanMother]

>>THAT’S A MAN, BABY!<< She wishes.

She's trying. Nobody's that ugly unless they try to be.

Sorry about that. For whatever reason it shows up on mine. (?) Here is the direct link to the picture:
