Woman Refused Communion After Ordination to Diaconate
The National Catholic Reporter ^ | 7/26/18 | Heidi Schlumpf

Posted on 07/31/2018 4:28:49 AM PDT by marshmallow

When Kathleen O'Connell Sauline came forward for Communion at St. Luke Parish in Boardman, Ohio, the priest placed a cloth over the bread and said he could not give her the Eucharist. Likewise, a deacon refused to give her the consecrated wine from the chalice.

The longtime parishioner and parish volunteer had been expecting it.

Eight days earlier, Sauline had been ordained a deacon through the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests, which is part of the international Roman Catholic women priests movement. The Vatican considers the ordinations illicit and has said that the women priests and deacons incur automatic excommunication.

When refused the sacrament at Mass on July 8, Sauline replied to the priest and deacon that she was hungry and thirsty "for that which Jesus called us to share," then moved toward the center of the church and waited with her hands open. Later, a lay Eucharistic minister gave her Communion, she said.

The priest, Fr. Zachary Coulter, who was ordained last year, is one of two sacramental ministers at the parish. Sauline said Coulter knew she was pursuing ordination and had earlier tried to talk her out of it.

It was a simulation of ordination. No actual ordination took place.

Good article that expresses the sides well.

The question is: is the law they’re applying from man or from the Trinity?

In the first century AD, none would’ve questioned this. 1000 yrs later, seems like almost every Catholic accepts that the Church and its most critical laws are man-made.

“Collingwood said “many” priests give Eucharist to ordained women, but that younger priests are more likely to deny them.”

A lib noting that young priests are more likely to deny is a good sign.

No more so than actors who act out a wedding scene in a movie are married.

In the first century AD, none would’ve questioned this.

Women deacons were different in the first cedntury from what male deacons are today. Male deacons are ordained, like priests. Women deacons in the first century were not, as they had totally different duties, none of which were like those of today's male deacons.

She excommunicated herself when she tried to be ordained like a man.

This is the new Women’s Rite of the Roman Church...

...there’s a Gay Rite too, but it’s been around for a longer time - they meet at the Vatican for parties.

“Later, a lay Eucharistic minister gave her Communion, she said.”

The EMHC probably did not recognize her whereas the priest and deacon probably had been specifically warned about her by the diocese and other parishioners.

God help those true Catholics living through this period of wrenching attacks on and to their faith.

So stepping forward to receive was a contrived publicity stunt.

No, the Catholic Church (not just the "Vatican") considers the ordination of women as INVALID, not mearly illicit.

It's called "Confession". Sometimes also "Reconciliation". It's a Sacrament. Try it; you need it.

Good. It is about time people in the Catholic church push back against these horrible leftists.

Said a fervent young lady of Hammels,
"I object to humanity's trammels!
I want to be free, like a bird or a bee!
Oh, why am I classed with the mammals?"
