As an aside, a married, visiting priest said mass at our parish yesterday. He delivered an excellent homily. His son was an altar server and his 2 daughters assisted as “peace bearers” (in the Maronite Rite, peace begins at the altar and is passed by the priest to an altar server who passes it to 4 children who then carry it to the first person in each pew). His wife was not in attendance .. not sure why. The Lebanese, accustomed to married priests at their homeland, took it in stride. I had a wealth of questions (like: how do you support your wife and children on a priest’s salary? Along with several others, but did not have an opportunity to ask. No, this was not the priest recently ordained in MI. He comes to the US from Lebanon, via Australia where married Maronite priests already serve. It was, as always, a beautiful liturgy. And - no - there are no women priests in the Maronite Catholic Church.

It’s sort of like Brad Manning saying he’s a girl now.

No, you ain’t.

Sigh, just another group of miserable, unhappy, unfulfilled women. THIS group, however, is blasphemous by setting up its own little horde of a phoney, blasphemous priesthood. SHAME on them. I keep thinking of the age-old witches, also miserable, unhappy, unfulfilled women and their consorting with the dark side of the spirit world...that is with Satan.

Satan can't MAKE these women do his bidding; THEY choose him. These women are lost to Satan.

“People frankly have had enough of an organization saying, ‘I’m sorry, some of you are OK and some of you are not OK,’” said woman priest Victoria Rue.

“We’re not going away,” Rue said.

Perhaps Victoria will get her chance to take it up with The Boss once she DOES go away.
