Vet: "Factually" correct? Quite the contrary: he is factually in error. The Catholic Church has no authority, and consequently no ability, to ordain a woman as a priest. In light of this, who would you say does have the authority or the ability? Yourself?

And as for the earth: we've known the earth was a sphere --- and known, within a few miles, its circumference --- since about 240 BC. Which is nothing to the point, except this: we apparently know more about spheres and circumferences than poor Fr. Brennan knows about the sexes and the sacraments.

I don’t know how you got the idea, that I thought this Priest was right in what he did. I am certainly not for the ordination of any woman as a Priest.

Personally I think the old guy at 92 has lost his marbles./

The Pope has the authority to proclaim, ex cathedra, that women can be priests, and it won't be long before it happens.
