The following groups are listed as dissenting groups in the area of women's ordination. They do NOT reporesent the Catholic Church!!
Women-Church | Promotes women priests ("priestesses"). |
Women's Ordination Conference (WOC) | WOC promotes women priests ("priestesses"). WOC is characterized by strong language denouncing "the patriarchal church" and the papacy of John Paul II. WOC leaders have suggested "new" sacraments that mark stages in a woman's life. Example: "Sacrament of Croning" at age fifty to herald the coming of "Wisdom." A recent WOC conference claimed ordination meant subordination; consequently, ordination needs to be Reconstructed. It is not unusual for WOC meetings to begin with an invocation to a pagan goddess, and may feature a pagan ritual meal. Member of Catholic Organizations for Renewal. |
Women's Ordination Worldwide (WOW) | Promotes women priests ("priestesses"). |
Women in Church Leadership (WICL) | Promotes women priests ("priestesses"). |
Women's Alliance for Theology Ethics and Ritual (WATER) | Emphasis is on "inclusiveness," in liturgy and re-interpretation of the Scriptures to the radical feminist view. |
