Your letter, especially the last paragraph, accurately captures nuances of sacramental theology regarding the lack of authority and inappropriate matter of the subjects of the Reuters story. Unfortunately, to the post-modern mind, even monumental nuance is irrelevant to agenda.

But I still like your letter.

Thanks TG. So, it's accurate to state that this is in fact, not illicit, because it takes place outside of and apart from the Catholic Church? It seems to me that calling this illicit would be like claiming that a Tibetan Buddhist illicitly became a Buddhist Monk because he did so without approval from Roman Catholic authorities.

It seems that the only connections the so-called ordination has to Roman Catholicism is, a) an allegedly Catholic gym teacher is aligning herself with a group of women who have been excommunicated, and b) it is intended as an attack against Roman Catholic Doctrine.
