So, they're dressed in rain ponchos?
And what is she holding up? A waffle?

The fledgling congregation gathered in a circle at Sunday Mass at Spartan Memorial Chapel to introduce themselves. A woman in a long, white robe spoke first.
``My name is Victoria Rue,'' she said. ``And I am a Roman Catholic woman priest.''
Rue belongs to a renegade movement that is ordaining women as Catholic priests, in defiance of the Vatican. Today, Rue celebrates Mass at the non-denominational chapel at San Jose State University.
Joining her at the altar on Sundays -- also in clerical robes -- have been a married man, his wife and another woman. The ceremonies prompted the Diocese of San Jose this month to warn Catholics that the sacraments there would be invalid.
It's a prickly issue more Catholic dioceses will face as increasing numbers of women join the ordination movement.
``God has called me,'' said Juanita Cordero, a Los Gatos woman who will soon be ordained as a deacon and aims to be a priest by 2007. ``Growing up it was never a possibility because it was always for men.''
Cordero, a former nun, is among 120 women enrolled in the Roman Catholic Womenpriests program, which has been boldly ordaining groups of women as priests and deacons.
A dozen will be ordained in Pittsburgh on July 31, including Cordero and women from Carmel and Pismo Beach. Another woman -- fearful that her bishop will quickly excommunicate her -- will only say she's from the Bay Area.
Those women plan to eventually work as priests, offering pastoral care and presiding over rituals ranging from baptisms to weddings to Mass.
The church says the movement is built on a falsehood: Women can't be priests, so whatever ceremonies they hold are moot.

I'm not a Roman Catholic woman priest, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
IIRC That bishop (Danube river)was excommunicated, right?
However, Still, some bishops went on to illicitlyinvalidly ordain two of those women as bishops
Who, exactly are "some bishops?"
Lesbian nuns becoming "priests"..Homosexual pederasts allowed to "transfer" instead of going to prison for a good beat down....
The Catholic Church allowed this and now is reaping what it has sown for the last 35-40 years of BS that it has allowed. I think that the church needs to go financially bankrupt (if that's even possible) in order to see the men and women that are truly called to serve.
Pious pronouncements about living for the next life and admonishments to the US and other "capitalists" about what they should give to the "poor" ring hypocritical when looking at the gold plated cathedrals, bloated bureaucracy that the church has become.
The new pope is trying to clean house but it'll take our lifetime to change and right the Roman Catholic church.
I'm a Catholic, I harbor no illusions that I am worthy to judge anybody but it saddens me to see what has become of the church. The evil being foisted on the church from libs, sexual deviants and criminals is a sight to see. Especially since it's mainly self inflicted.
ROTFLMAO
Congratulations! Less than 25 posts before the obligatory Holiday Inn reference!
Well, of course she can call herself anything she wants to but the mass she "celebrates" is in her own mind and has no validity at all.
Se's also an apostate and a heretic.
"Boldly" implies courage. These women risk nothing, not even ridicule, from any source for their sacrilege. The press eats their stuff up, the liberal "Catholics" love them, and the Inquisition won't be burning them at the stake. The proper adverb would be "brazenly".
Looks like a lesbian.
If she doesn't believe the Church's teaching or doctrine, why is she calling herself a Roman Catholic? There are plenty of other interpretations and denominations to join that would celebrate her "lifestyle". But that would be boring, wouldn't it? That wouldn't be "standing out", would it? These people just want to show off, nothing more.
And my name is Santa Claus, I make toys in the North Pole. Care to dance?
So, they're dressed in rain ponchos?
And what is she holding up? A waffle?
And I am the King of Spain.

Well said
You're right...she could always go play priestitute at the ELCA or the ECUSA.
Is that like being a girly~man or a manly~girl or just a VickieGene Episcopal?
IHOP commercial.
So she's holding up syrup in the glass?
LOL
