He makes an interesting point that these people don’t want to go to other denominations who support all their goofy ideas…
 
It is her Husband’s fault.:rolleyes: Her “Catholic” grandmother bought her vesments for her ‘ordination’, guess she is just trying to get hip?
********Your husband, who is Protestant, helped you realize that you wanted to be a priest. Tell me about that. ********
I began going to church with him, and he began going to mass with me. At his church there were female pastors. He’s a member of the United Church of Christ. It’s a progressive, mainline Protestant denomination. They ordain women, and they’re open to gays and lesbians in their congregation.

**Still the mainline media doesn’t get it - they seem to think it is hatred to stick to the teachings of the Church.🤷 **

********Have you received any hate mail? ********

I personally have not received hate mail, although there are plenty of blogs that I have found online that like to slander my name when they get hold of information about my ordination and ministry. It’s unfortunate and sad. The people I serve are excited to see a place where men and women can serve side by side.

Reading that article was just really sad and depressing–especially the part that said she has ex-priests and sisters following her 😦 . She is just so ignorant and confused. It’s heart-breaking to see souls who have plunged themselves into darkness.
 
This is why I no longer read the newsmagazines.
There’s no news, just the titillation of the week.
 
With hit pieces like this, no wonder I am starting to think of the “Main Stream Media” as the “Main Stream Mafia”:rolleyes: :mad: 🤷
 
I just wonder why it is so important to be considered Roman Catholic when one refuses to subject oneself to the authority of the Church?
…is approved by the Ecumenical Catholic Communion, a group of churches that decline to recognize the authority of the pope but see themselves nevertheless as Roman Catholic. :confused:

It’s completely irrational–it’s the rotten fruit of the disease that has infected their rational souls 😦

Maybe an attempt to lend some sort of credibility to a ministry that, by definition, doesn’t really exist.
 
I saw the piece this morning and read the first couple paragraphs. The article is disappointing on many levels, not the least being the claim that belonging to the Ecumenical Catholic Communion is the same as belonging to the Catholic Church. This sleight of hand is meant to fool the unwary and is far beneath the journalistic standards I expect from Newsweek.

Here is the website for the ECC:

It’s because we’ve had a bunch of wild eyed anti-Christian bigots misrepresent Vatican II, made up a bunch of doctrines that didn’t exist and just ran with it. The devil never sleeps. Avoid their masses. Why aren’t these clowns excommunicated? They’ve already excommunicated themselves.

wait, is she old enough to be ordained a priest at 25?

Oddly enough, you’re right. After high school, (18) there’s four years of college (22) and four years of major seminary(26) so, she really isn’t old enough anyway.

Because she didn’t go to a real seminary. Wherever she went, she was only there for 2 years. If she’d wanted to be a United Church of Christ minister, they’d probably have made her go to a full seminary course–and she wouldn’t have gotten the cute outfits from grandma!!

I find it funny how when the Vatican excommunicated clowns like this, they will play the victim and say, “No one can take away my right to be a Roman Catholic.” I got news for them, being Catholic is not a right it’s a privilege. I’ll get accused of supporting a theocracy. And they’ll say to me, “your right wing beliefs scare me”. To which I say, “either you’re short on brains or you’re schizophrenic.” The Apostles were men! No? Hmmmm…how hard is that for people to remember that? These women have excommunicated themselves.

Bones, if you go to the website of the Ecumenical Catholic Communion, you will see that they date their break with the Catholic Church as being 1870… Vatican I, not Vatican II.

My point is that we have two generations of Catholics that aren’t catechized. And are in grave danger of joining the Ecumenical Catholic Communion.
 
I can’t believe that the media is going to play into the hands of a dissident like this. Or did she play into the media’s hands? Perhaps it was mutual. Either way, all I see are people who are intent on pushing a feminist and homosexual agenda and It is sad that Christ’s Church must be slammed to do so.
