Of the roughly 100 women who have been ordained as priests or deacons worldwide in the Womenpriests movement, including 37 in the U.S., only the first seven were officially excommunicated by the Vatican, said spokeswoman Bridget Mary Meehan. Others have received letters from their bishop like that sent by Burke, she said.
What a typically misleading statement. Maybe the Vatican only bothered to tell the first 7 - but every single participant excommunicated him/herself by taking part in such an activity. If they don't know such basic theology then regardless of sex they're not suitable to become clerics.
