Time needs a reporter who is more knowledgable about Catholicism.

“Alta Jacko is the mother of eight children. She is also an ordained priest in the Roman Catholic Church. Jacko, 81, who earned her master’s degree in pastoral studies from Loyola University, a Jesuit Catholic school, says being a priest is what she was called to do.”

Alta isn’t an ordained priest, she’s self excommunicated.
I’m surprised Time is this sloppy.

Well, it ultimately really does not matter.

I gave up on this Socialist Rag a long time ago.:cool:
 
Suffice it to say if God wanted women priests then perhaps Jesus would have included a female in the original 12. The Catholic Church is not a popularity contest, whatever is young and hip does not determine theology. I recommend a story I read from my hometown paper on a man-made church which has found itself pretty far from Jesus’ teachings because of that same popularity contest.

Ah, but remember--------------Mary Magdalene WAS a Disciple. In fact, she was THE favorite of Jesus----in MORE ways than One 😉 Unfortunately, Peter conspired to have her “erased” from the historical record after the Death Of Jesus. The Institutionalized Church further expanded the cover-up-----AND Mary Magdalene was with Jesus’s child—she came to France and half the French People are descended form this Holy Bloodline.

Yes, Bless you, Dan Brown, and the some of the Heretical Gnostic Gospels that propagate the “truth.” :rolleyes:
 

I find it very funny That Blessed Mary is the Mother of the Church, the Church referres to it self as a she But narrow minded people can not see, the change is needed.:confused:
I don’t find it funny at all. I hope you are not comparing The Blessed Virgin Mary who is the quintessence of OBEDIENCE and HUMILITY with these arrogant, rebellious and heterodox women.
 
Let’s see – if I “claim” that I’ve won the lottery, does that make it so?

:doh2:
But if I buy a lottery ticket from a state machine and it has the winning numbers am I lottery winner even if the store that had the machine wasn’t supposed to? These women may not be priest but they are, apparently fully trained to be and have had been ordained by a bishop. I know. It’s not valid. Women don’t have the “material” to be priest. So says the church, I get it. We all get it.
 
If God intended women to become ordained priest, then why did He not chose women to become apostles for this is how our church begun…through the apostles. Defying the Vatican is defying Jesus Himself.

Where did you get that information? Most of these women “priests” have not had anything close to seminary training and wouldn’t even meet the basic criteria for seminary acceptance, even if they were men.

And using your lottery example, if the store wasn’t licenced to sell the tickets, your ticket wouldn’t even be worth the cost of the ink it was printed with. We actually had that happen in Texas not too long ago. 😉
 
Like any good priest, Judy Lee knows how to use a Bible story. One of the readings for Roman Catholic Masses on a recent Sunday, from the Book of Wisdom, recounts how the Hebrews defied the pharaoh by worshipping God “in secret.” That passage resonates at the house in Fort Myers, Fla., where Lee is conducting Mass for 25 Catholics gathered in front of a coffee-table altar in defiance of the Pope. “Rome says you’ll be thrown out of the church for being here,” says Lee, “because I’m a woman.”
Lee, 67, considers herself a validly ordained Catholic priest.
Well, she must be a valid priest if 25 people gathered around a coffee table say so; how can the Vatican argue with that, really? Plus, in the spirit of the Apostles, she snuck into the household of the clergy via the back door by finding an unhinged renegade European bishop to lay his gauntlets on her head, so that seals it, right there.
“Rome can impose all the rules it wants on women, divorced people, gay people. But it can’t stop us.”
Yeah! Say it Sister! I mean…Father! Rome’s rules, as anyone knows, apply only to married straight men; women and divorced people and guys with exquisite taste in domestic fabrics are exempt! Unless the latter are also priests, in which case they, too, are the enemy, and also cannot stop us!
That’s the hope of Roman Catholic Womenpriests, a group founded eight years ago in Europe.
Clever name, isn’t it? That’s just we call ourselves for now, though. We’ve already made ambitious plans for the future to rename our organization Roman Catholic Auntiepopes, just as soon as we can raise the funds to ship our coffee table to Rome and sit around it there!
“We’re the Rosa Parks of the Catholic Church,” says Bridget Mary Meehan, a Womenpriests bishop and former nun. “We no longer accept second-class status in our own religion.”
We refuse to sit in the back of the Church! We shall overcome! All we are saying is give priest a chance!
 
It’s all about what they want… I wanted to celebrate mass, I wanted to be a priest, etc. Being a priest is supposed to be a response to a call from God.
Yes, it’s “me me me”

"A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, “Where have they taken him?”

The ordination of a woman is a pact with Satan.

What enabled this mess ? Allowing them in the sanctuary ?
 
I’am not referring to women in the priest hood persay but there are changes coming, that is a slow process …
 
my friend if you think women should be priests you will find it hard to come into the church as you religion status indicates. the blessed virgin was not an apostle, was not a priest, was not a deacon, had Christ intended women to be priests im sure He would have chosen his mother
AND PEACE BE WITH YOU. May I take your post as a guidance and not an insult that I should not become a full member of Catholic religion the living church, A…

no i didnt mean it as an insult, but why would you come into the church if you do not agree with what she teaches?
 
she and the people who go to her “mass” are idiots. women cannot be priests, just as men cannot be mothers. i hope that whatever bishop whos diocese she is in makes it a public point to excommunicate her

i stand corrected, he already did. TIME is an ignorant publication, if she is excommunicated that means that she is no longer in the church.
Well, women can be “priestly” just asa priest might be “motherly.” 🙂

Women have never had to be priests in order to be leaders in the Church. An abbess had as much authority as an abbot. and in terms of executive authority as much “clout” as a bishop.
Then we have a layperson par excellent in St.Clare who was never ordained anymore than her friend Francis was. A woman may be prophet, judge, or king but in divine history never a priest. One of the most remarkable persons in the Old Testament was Deborah who somehow became judge in all Israel. one able to summon Barack amd a host to go to war. Women forget that a priest is a minister–servant–of the Lord. One need not have sacerdotal authority to perform prodigies of service, as Mother Theresa showed us. In that way we are all called to be priests.

We all know what you mean by Auntiepopes then you can also call yourselves Auntiechrist… I respect what you believe sisters but as a devoted catholic, I believe in the church that our Lord Jesus Christ built with the apostles as the foundation and Jesus as the cornerstone.The Pope is the successor to the apostles and unless the Pope says otherwise, the church that I am in now is the true church where women priests are not allowed.

:highprayer::amen:

Well if they want to be priestesses than they can go off and be Anglicans. Why is it necessary for people to change things that aren’t meant to be changed?
Amen!

As someone who is still in RCIA I have to ask, if someone is a Catholic, and much more so someone who declares herself to be a priest, wouldn’t flat out rejection of The Church, the Pope and the Magisterium rather preclude one from being in reality a Catholic?
 
I am soooo tired of these females who are so full of pride and ‘intellectual cholesterol’ and think they can be priests. They’re always ‘demanding’-that’s the only word they know.

If they want to be ‘ordained’, there’s always the Episcopalians. There are lots of ‘priestesses’ and ‘bishopesses’ in the ‘Piskies’. Why don’t they go there and leave us faithful Catholics alone? But noooo…they want to be like whiny and tantrum-filled brats and make the rest of us have ‘agita’. :mad: (WAAAA-I wanna to be a priest…oh puhleeze)

TIME and other such ‘newsmagazines’ are so stupid, not worth the paper they’re printed on. They can’t even have a writer (?) on their staff who knows beans about Catholic teaching and practice. They just like to stir up trouble.

LADIES-ROME HAS SPOKEN, CASE IS CLOSED! NO PRIESTESSES-NOT NOW, NOT EVER, NEVER!!! :mad: WHAT PART OF ‘NO’ DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND?

Sigh…OK, end of rant…🤷 Gotta stop reading stories like this-they only raise my blood pressure. I don’t want to die from a stroke. :o
