That she wants it both ways -- to ignore Catholic teaching completely, yet be ordained as a Catholic priest -- would have been recognized as evidence of schizophrenia, as recently as a generation ago.

Bingo. Leftists are mentally ill.

St. Anthony of Egypt, the founder of Christian monasticism: "A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, 'You are mad, you are not like us'."

Seems like we are there now.

It is thus left to the laity to do for the Catholic Church that for which its "hands on" leadership have not the stomach.

Missed that point in the RCIA brochure, did we?

David Warren from July 31:

Last week I wrote (on another page) about the silly spectacle of the "Womanpriests", trying to "ordain" one another on a boat off Gananoque. Since, both this newspaper and my inbox have received an extraordinary number of letters, many of which (especially to me) were quite ugly. From reading them I see there are a lot of people, including cradle Catholics, whose views are vitiated because they haven't the fondest clew what the Church is, or what it teaches.

Now, if you really want to know why the Catholic Church not only refuses to ordain women, but believes itself incapable of doing so even if it wanted to, I recommend that you go to that Catechism of the Catholic Church, and look up "Women, Ordination of" in the index (sections 1577 and 1578). That is not where the journey ends, however, but rather one of many places where it could begin. For once again, the whole superstructure of Catholic belief ties together. And to understand the function of any single part, you must gradually acquire a view of the whole thing, and of its purpose.

Yet she wants to dress up like a priest -- or more exactly, cross-dress.

Tee-Hee!!!

Priestesses?

Just check out the legacy of priestesses in the ECUSA.

And be afraid. Very afraid.
