Big Surprise!!! We will be ordained if we want to be ordained. Who needs men anyway? We will do what we want because we are women and liberated from the slavery of men.

 

[Gracie2004]

First of all, the very FIRST error in this headline, or whatever it was…is the word ordained…

Women cannot BE ordained, and so this word in and of itself is wrong. That makes the entire concept wrong…i.e. in error.

They probably should note today’s reading - Numbers 12:1-10. God wasn’t very impressed by Miriam’s insistance on her equality.

I think these univeristies need to be notified of their employees heretical activities. Can anyone provide e-mail addresses?

From article

Last weekend, critics of Catholic Church’s teaching on male-only ordination gathered for the Women’s Ordination Worldwide (WOW) conference in Ottawa, Canada. Conference speakers included three religious studies professors at U.S. Catholic universities:

**- Deborah Halter, Instructor in the Department of Religious Studies at Loyola University of Chicago, **is touted on Loyola’s Web site for her service as national coordinator of the U.S. Women’s Ordination Conference in 2000. She is author of The Papal “No”: A Comprehensive Guide to the Vatican’s Rejection of Women’s Ordination (Crossroad, 2004).

- Teresia Hinga, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at DePaul University in Chicago, teaches subjects including African religions, Christian theology and women’s studies.

- Sr. Martha Ann Kirk, CCVI, Professor of Religious Studies and coordinator of the undergraduate religious studies program at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, is a liturgical dancer and peace activist who has said she desires to be a priest, according to a Baltimore Sun article in Nov. 2000

I have the distinct feeling that they read the papers too.

Gracie:

I beg to differ - They were ORDAINED as PROTESTANT MINISTERS with NO power to confect Sacraments. They can preach sermons in any Church that’ll let them (I’m sure they’ll be welcome in ECUSA and in the LIBERAL Parts of the Anglican Communion), but they CAN’T CONFECT Sacraments.

These women who were ordained as Protestant Ministers can no more be made into priests than men can be made to bear children, or milk and cookies made into Christ’s Body and Blood, or two men or two women united in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

They’re deluding themselves and those who worship with them if they think otherwise… And they’re endangering their souls and the souls of those who follow their Heretical theology.

Blessed are they who act to stop the slaughter of the Innocent, Michael

 

[severinus]

A new academic term begins soon. Should I stop holding my breath until USD does anything about Jane Via?

 

[Traditional_Ang]

JMJ_Pinoy:

I used to be interested in applying to USD… until I found out that it’s CINO.

JMJ_Pinoy:

I understand that Ave Maria is quite a nice little University down in Florida. It’s definitely NOT CINO, since it is run by people who are very serious about their Catholicism, Including Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J., who is a friend of Pope Benedict XVI’s.

Fr. Fessio won’t lead you astray.

Blessed are they who act to save God’s Little Ones, Michael

severinus:

Such ‘ordinations’ are best described as self-inflicted.

As far as any serious action from a university or a bishop, I would not bet the house on it.

Severinus:

I just had a rather interesting correspondence with a Bishop who did the right thing with one of the politicians who pushed the “Gay Marriage” legislation forward in Canada.

He got a ton of flack and was both grateful and amazed that someone had taken his side and was expressing gratitude on this issue.

The Diocese of San Diego is in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles - You can bet that the Bishop of San Diego isn’t going to get any backing from Cardinal Mahony if he moves to have her or the college disciplined. and, We know how much flack the “Liberals” can generate, so if we want Bishop Robert H. Brom to act, we’re going to need to send e-mails letting him know that we’ll baek disciplining both the “ordinand” and the University of San Diego through his assistant:
Rev. Earl Eggleston
eegglest@diocese-sdiego.org
(858) 490-8315
3888 Paducah Dr. P.O. Box 85728, San Diego, 92186-5728
Most Rev. Robert Brom
(858) 490-8200
Other Info - Same as above

Otherwise, the flak will all come from one side…

I assume you all remember how to contact the Vatican…
benedictxvi@vatican.va
benedettoxvi@vatican.va

I think this is important enough to both e-mail and cc His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI.

Blessed are they who act to save the Innocent, Michael

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve heard about Ave Maria, I may apply there. My main choice, as of now, is Franciscan U. of Steubenville. I know for sure that Franciscan is passionately Catholic. I’ve heard that the U. of Dallas is also a great school, so that’s my 2nd choice right now. I’m also looking into Benedictine College.

God Bless!

‘Ordained’ Woman is Pro-Abortion Religion Professor at Catholic University of San Diego

MANASSAS, VA, July 29, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An organization that illegitimately “ordains” women as Catholic clergy has revealed the identity of a “deacon” who teaches scriptural studies at the University of San Diego, an institution that claims dedication to “witnessing and probing the Christian message as proclaimed by the Roman Catholic Church.”

R.C. Womenpriests, which on July 25 hosted the “ordinations” of nine women on the St. Lawrence River near Gananoque, Ontario, also announced thatJane Via had been “ordained” a Catholic deacon in June 2004 on the Danube River between Germany and Austria. The 2004 ceremony was led by two female “bishops” whom the Vatican excommunicated after they refused to renounce their “ordinations” in 2002. Previously Via was identified by a pseudonym, “Jillian Farley.”

Research by the Cardinal Newman Society’s identifies Via as a Deputy District Attorney in San Diego County and an Adjunct Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of San Diego (USD). In 1977, Via was hired by USD as a full-time Assistant Professor and was tenured in the early 1980s before shifting to part-time employment. In 1985, San Diego Bishop Leo Maher banned Via from speaking at Catholic events in the diocese because she signed a statement published in the New York Times that challenged Catholic teaching on abortion. It is not apparent that USD took any action to restrict Via’s teaching following the bishop’s ban, and the Diocese of San Diego could not immediately confirm whether the ban is still in effect.

The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS), a national organization dedicated to the renewal of Catholic identity at U.S. Catholic colleges and universities, has contacted USD president Mary Lyons and San Diego Bishop Robert Brom, urging Via’s removal as a Theology and Religious Studies professor if she refuses to disavow her previous abortion advocacy and her “ordination.” CNS also asked Bishop Brom to consider Via’s actions when determining whether she should be awarded the mandatum, a Canon Law requirement for all teachers of Catholic theology that acknowledges a professor’s intent to accurately present Catholic doctrine.

"It is scandalous that a Catholic university would knowingly employ a public dissenter to teach religion," said CNS president Patrick J. Reilly. "It would be deceitful for the same university to claim a Catholic mission while employing a religious studies professor who falsely claims ordination as a deacon of the Catholic Church. Why should a Catholic parent entrust their son or daughter to USD?"

Last weekend, critics of Catholic Church’s teaching on male-only ordination gathered for the Women’s Ordination Worldwide (WOW) conference in Ottawa, Canada. Conference speakers included three religious studies professors at U.S. Catholic universities:

usd is gone, gone, gone. has been, desgraciademente, for some time. i am sad, but i cannot change it.

 

[jjwilkman]

Karl Keating:

Don’t underestimate the University of San Diego, which is Catholic only when seeking donations, not when providing its clients an education.

i who am nothing say, you seem to have hit that nail squarely on the head.

 

[jjwilkman]

i think us catholic people are going to have to pick up the slack. it’s not going to be easy, but whom else???

 

[KathleenElsie]

Karl Keating:

Don’t underestimate the University of San Diego, which is Catholic only when seeking donations, not when providing its clients an education.

I believe that we Catholics OVERESTIMATE the integrity of Universities that call themselves “Catholic”. It is unfortunate that it is now necessary to do your research prior to sending a child off to school. Even checking with the Local Bishop is not enough to feel safe in these situations.

But, IMHO, this comes from the earlier “Catholic” school years and is the main reason why many Catholic families are now home-schooling.

GOD BLESS

Thanks for the info, TraditionalAng. I have sent regular mail to the USD concerning this, as emails are often just ignored. I am glad you were able to get a positive reaction in your case; I have seen too many instances of bishops not wanting to rock the boat.

I’ll send off an email to the Holy Father; if there are enough people doing the same, the issue just might get some response.
