Since the 1980s, tens of thousands of American Catholics have consistently told the National Opinion Research Center in Chicago that they favor ordaining women as well as married priests. The Catholic Church is not driven by polls or opinion surveys. It is run by the Successor to St. Peter.

And this is why there is Future Church.
If one would like to remain Catholic, one must live by the rules.

"We do not promise obedience to our bishop. We promise obedience to Jesus and the Gospel," Mrs. Houk said. why not join a Protestant church that ordains women then?

But Mrs. Houk, who celebrated her 66th birthday last weekend..... Yep....she fits the profile perfectly.
In 1966 she would have been 26. One of the young '60s radicals who's grown older but not wiser. Still trying to impose her '60s agenda on the Church as the sands of time gradually run out.

It was not designed ot prevent assault by the priest. It was designed to protect the priest, and to make it impossible for anyone to claim sexual improprieties (whether mutually desired, imagined or assault by either party).
Anti-cahtolicism is humorous. The depths to which people will stoop....

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
- Imitation doesn't make her a priest
- In fact, imitation doesn't make her a Catholic (well, soon a former Catholic
For her perspective, if she wants to dress up and play priestess, all well and good. Whatever. She can deal with the consequences now and in eternity.
I feel very sorry for the hundreds of people she will deceive through her clergy-play time.

HELP!! A woman did the sermon at my Mass this Sunday. A SERMON, not talking about her work with the poor and asking for money, but a SERMON. This is the second one she's done when the pastor has been away, but I'm sure he knows and supports it. Is this OK in the Catholic Church? I need guidance on what to do.

She's probably a lesbian. Why doesn't she join the Episcopal Church?

Apparently this woman believes she can do better than that. I'm not sure why she considers herself Catholic.

Point of order:
The Catholic Church is run by God. His designated, visible representative on Earth is the Successor to St. Peter.
But you already knew that.

Is this OK in the Catholic Church? I need guidance on what to do. It is not okay. I'd absolutely go to the priest. If he is complacent, then take the matter to the bishop. Document everything, including your priests (in)action.
Let's just hope that your bishop will listen.

What diocese do you live in? Sermons by women - or by any non-ordained and non-licensed person - are not permitted.

"Mrs. Houk believes the best way to spur the church to ordain women is to violate what she believes is an unjust law."
This is why we have a magisterium. Individuals bring their own errant beliefs and emotions, agendas and foibles into the mix.
" "The church has to take a stand for women ... that they are the image of God and are to be respected and treated on an equal, human level..."
It has and it does and will in the future. I can imagine a hell on earth if the Church had not existed and elevated women.
Her problem is that she wants to be masculine. She wants that authority and cannot accept the feminine.

oan Clark Houk, shown near the parish offices of St. Paul Cathedral in Oakland, Lovely bit of spin by the writers at the Pest-Gazette. Sort of puts an illusory air of officialness about her ... she's "shown near the parish offices" as if to imply that she has something to do with said offices.
MSM are evil.
