Nine Women to Defy Vatican and Become Priests
Wed Jun 8, 2:51 AM ET

OTTAWA (AFP) - Nine women, including one Canadian and one American, plan to defy the Vatican and become the first female Roman Catholic priests and deacons ordained in North America during a ceremony on a boat on the St. Lawrence River next month.



The ceremony, which is not sanctioned by the Vatican, is to take place July 25 on the river near Gananoque in eastern Canada following a conference on women as priests at Carleton University in Ottawa.

The location for the ceremony was chosen because organizers considered it to be international waters between the United States and Canada where no diocese has juridiction and thus cannot interfere.

First the women integrated the office. Then they got into the locker rooms. Next they integrated the Navy. Now the priesthood. Isn't there any place left without these wretched women? What is a repressed homosexual supposed to do?

I guess these women can call themselves whatever they want but that doesn't mean they are Catholic priests nor does it mean they will have congregations to serve...at least not Roman Catholic parishes anyway.
