Phoenix, Ariz., Sep 3, 2010 / 05:54 am (CNA).- The Catholic Bishop of Phoenix responded Wednesday to a priest’s reported participation in an attempted priestly ordination of a woman. Urging prayers for all involved, he said such actions are “divisive” and have “profoundly harmful consequences.”

Writing in a Sept. 1 letter published in the Catholic Sun, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted informed Catholics in the diocese that a “schismatic group” in Tempe, Arizona called the Ecumenical Catholic Communion tried to ordain a woman. Fr. Vernon Meyer, a priest of the Diocese of Phoenix, reportedly participated in the alleged ordination.

God bless Bishop Olmsted for not being afraid to stand up for the truth. Those who advocate changing the truth of God spit in His face and express the same spirit as Satan; non serviam.

I will continue to pray for them.

God bless Bishop Olmsted! He has the courage to defend and protect the Church against the errors that constantly present themselves.

Ordination of women is only one of the errors so popular among those who ignore the teachings of Scripture and reject the authority of the Holy Father and our Bishops. Anglicans, United Methodists, and others have women preachers and bishops…and they are falling apart!

It is very important that The Roman Catholic Church stay true to Scripture and tradition. With people like Pope Benedict XVI and Bishop Olmstead leading us, there is reason to hope!

Bravo to Bishop Olmstead for speaking up and speaking out on this issue!

Why are those advocate the ‘ordination’ of ‘priestesses’ so clueless? This was decided once and for all back in 1994: NO FEMALE ORDINATION! NOT NOW, NOT EVER! NEVER!

What part of ‘no’ don’t they understand?

God bless our Holy Father Benedict XVI and Bishops like Bishop Olmstead! His Excellency knows how to ‘bish’!
