" Nun to be ordained as 'Priest' "

[TheRealJuliane]

I wonder: If so many women feel this calling and it continues to grow…I guess what can happen is, just like the great schism a thousand years ago, we could see another schism happen from which evolves a new branch of Catholicism that allows both genders to be priests, not just the male gender?

“So many women” do not feel this calling. It is complete and utter HUBRIS that has called this woman to do such a thing. It is sacrilege and she knows it very well.

A schism would not be a good thing. It would not hurt the Church, but it would harm the people who would be led astray.

Shame on all involved.

Challenges to the Church have come and gone and the Church has continued to be about God’s business.

The Church doesn’t really even see this event as worthy of that much attention. The short statement from the Archbishop that “She will be automatically excommunicated” is all that really needs to be said, and speaks volumes about how important the Church sees the event.

Cowetan will go through the ritual and in so doing excommunicate herself, some will make a big deal of it, and the Archbishop will go about his business confirming, ordaining, and guiding his flock. The Catholic Church will be the biggest Church in North Georgia within six years. We are in desperate need of new Catholic schools and mission Churches, and the hispanic community is thriving. The Archbishop and Auxilliary Bishop really have much more important things to do than worry about a former nun who thinks she is a priest.

Your comments remind me of the thread that we had last year when the supposed “women priest” conference was going on. Fr. Z’s comments when he arrived and looked around the event were enlightening in that he saw almost no one under the age of 60. This will all but die out in another generation. The younger generation of Catholics who are looking into vocations want the real thing.

The same is true of the pro-abortion contingency. They are not reproducing and they are not able to recruit new members, or very very few. So the natural process will take care of itself in maybe one more generation.



Not that we can let up on pro-life activism, however.

This seems to me to be a sin of pride, most likely why she is not still a nun in the first place. :sad_yes:

The Church cannot make dogma anything contrary to Tradition or Scripture. Sacred Tradition regarding male ordination goes back to Christ’s ordination of the Apostles, and their ordination of males only. There is literally nothing we can do about this. This is the way God wanted it. Further, it serves to show that the sexes are NOT the same; we both have different vocations and callings. Lastly, if these women feel the call to become religious, it should surely be enough to be a nun. Many MANY women saints were nuns, and they were OBEDIENT to the Church. Disobedience to the Magisterium and Tradition is NOT what God wants of us.

For instance, I would like to be married and then become a priest, but the Magisterium has prohibited married clergy within the Roman Rite. Their reasons are excellent, they are the Authority that God gave us, and I will be obedient to them and choose one or the other, because I love God and the Church. Those who rebel against it are NOT showing genuine love, rather selfish desire.

God established a male priesthood with the tribe of Aaron.

Adrift,

And prior to that there were priests of the “order of Melchezidek”…

I think that you miss the fact that God cannot contradict himself and that denies the possibility of ordination for women to the priesthood in kronos (a.k.a. our times). There is the infallible statement that the Church does not have the authority to ordain women. Bishops are the ordaining authority in the Church and they do not have the authority to ordain women. Bishops are one of the requirements in terms of valid matter for the ordination to the priesthood. Thus women cannot be ordained to the priesthood in kronos.

Jesus anointed the Apostles, they were men. If He intended to have women priests, He would have made it known during His life on earth. What makes women want to take on a position that is not intended for her? Is it a power thing? If so, wouldn’t that fall under one of the deadly sins? It’s the same situation in life today with so many groups. What happened to, “right and wrong?”
