Dressed in a priestly white robe and green stole, Monique Venne lifted communion bread before an altar – defying centuries of Catholic Church law.

Despite promises of excommunication from the Vatican, she and six other women in Minnesota say they are legitimate, ordained Catholic priests, fit to celebrate the mass. They trace their status through a line of ordained women bishops back to anonymous male bishops in Europe.

I mean if I were to tell you I’m Napoleon Bonaparte and I started wearing an imperial jacket you’d all believe me. Right?
 
Just another attempt by the “father of all lies” to cause division in the Body of Christ. No surprise the media picked this up, they(secular media) are always looking for ways to destroy the Church. Pray for the conversion of these misguided women.

“Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church’s divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church’s faithful.”
Blessed John Paul II from Ordinatio Sacerdotalis

No, we have one of these wymynprysts in my city here in Canada. She’s been excommunicated. It’s physically impossible for a woman to be ordained a priest.

Does the article make any mention of their Ordination Tambourines?
 
And the cow jumped over the moon. There is no such thing as a female Catholic priest.

Ohh the ordination tambourines. So many real Priests are missing theirs, too bad.

But that article WAS hilarious!

I’m so intolerant and marginalising 😛
 
Oh good grief! One of them said she stays in the Church because it’s like a “nationality”!!! That’s why so many dissenters seem to consider themselves Catholics- but it’s NOT a nationality.

It was also stated that many (real) priests who support them don’t say anything because they would risk their “pensions” if excommunicated! Speechless…

It seems to me that another schism is brewing…

BTW, where did these women go to “seminary”? 😉 Who were their professors?
 
There are no “female priests” so the article is bogus. End of story.
 
yawn, here I’ve posted my corrected version, with quotation marks included in the appropriate places:

Monique Venne, a “priest” at Compassion of Christ Church that meets at Prospect Park United Methodist Church, gave “communion” to Judith McKloskey, also a “priest” in the church, during a recent service on Sunday, November 6, 2011 in Minneapolis, Minn. Because the women are violating Catholic doctrine by celebrating “mass”, they’re not allowed to meet in Catholic churches. That’s why they’re meeting at Prospect Park United Methodist Church where Methodists do allow for female ministers.

Yeah, no bias at all right? Look at these poor Catholic womenpriests, the mean old Catholic menpriests kicked them out, luckily the caring, loving Methodists where there to scoop them up.

They are not nor never will be legitimate ordained priests in the One Holy Catholic Church.
 
Do these women have degrees in Theology? If so, it would be interesting to know where they graduated from.

All of our joking aside, this is very, very sad. They’ve been led so very far astray, let’s pray for their conversion…if even one of them can be snatched from the fire, it would do a great good, and that witness would greatly edify and build up the Church.
 
According to their website:

*Roman Catholic Womenpriests reject the penalty of excommunication issued by the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith on May 29, 2008 stating that the “women priests and the bishops who ordain them would be excommunicated latae sententiae.” *

Can they do that? :confused:
 
I almost dropped to the floor till I realized the article is without credibility.

More of our atheist friends having fun.

NO! (If what you mean is “can they reject the excommunication”) And this is what I think is so sinister about them and the whole culture of dissenters who insist on “remaining” in the Church. By insisting that they are Catholics, they can lead more people astray. Why do they not let the Church define itself, and if that definition is not what they believe, well then…leave!

If they have the right to believe/act as they do, then so do Catholics who have remained faithful. Are they suggesting that we cease to exist? We are not compatible!

The whole thing is completely illogical, and almost seems like mental illness. Which makes me wonder - did they go through the battery of psychological tests that our seminarians are required to go through? (I’m just kidding.) But the results would cetainly be very telling.
