I thought the article meant that she attempted to concelebrate (assist at the consecration of the Eucharist).

This is a fairly stiff penalty for letting her read the Gospel, IMO, but that was obviously only the latest in a series of issues.

Good to see a bishop with backbone. It will be interesting to see what he does with, e.g., Barbara Mikulski.

That's what I thought too. Regardless, I'm glad the archbishop is taking a hard line. We've been WAY too soft on allowing this stuff to creep into our parishes.

Have a church at my town that has a woman read the gospel AND say the homily during Sunday Evening Mass. Suffice to say I don't go there anymore.
