Why not? I intend to become a young supermodel, even though I am an old lady.

“I don’t accept the legitimacy of that excommunication,” said Walker, who will be the first woman in Kansas City to defy the church and be ordained a priest. The church in turn will not accept the legitimacy of her ordination because, under canon law, only men can be priests. “That’s their problem,” Walker said of the church.

No, that's hers. If she can't be obedient; if she can't see her own dignity within the Body of the Church; if she can't gave the reality that she can't have it both ways, then she needs help. Of she doesn't feel that she needs help, then she can find, or found, another denomination that better suits her needs. May God bless and guide her to Him!

She does have an excellent theological resume.

Walker took part in a recent interfaith service at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in Kansas City.

This is satire, right? Right? No? First, thing this creature needs to do is purchase a quality bra. Then she needs to seek out a good shrink who can convince her that she really is not a man, even though she tries to look like an ugly fat man with huge man boobs.

“Walker’s ordination, scheduled for Jan. 3, will be performed by Bishop Bridget Mary Meehan, who travels the country ordaining women priests and deacons — 25 of them in 2014”.

Might as well be Bishop T.D. Jakes. That’s how much authority this female named Bridget Meehan has. Or Bishop Joel Osteen. LOL.

We had a female director in my old parish in WA. She was there for years and kept bumping heads with the parish priest. She thought she ran the church. Her middle name should have been argument. She was there for years and ran many a good priest away. Anyway she was hitting about 70 years old when she finally figured the only way she would ever become a “Catholic priest” was to move to to Portland and get “ordained” as a priest by one of these weirdo schismatic women Catholic “bishops”. I guess she’ll die happy. She thinks she a Catholic priest. But she’s not. She’s living a lie and knows she’s living a lie.

Perhaps you need to attend a different parish?

No, I still feel the RCC is NOT the Church it was when I was an Altar Boy or attended through Ninth Grade.

I definitely do NOT like the English Mass(I know one can be found that does Latin), I do NOT like the Lay Communion Services, the Touchy/Feely (that may have been that particular Church but....)

And though I would benefit from the relaxation of Marrying outside the Church and subsequent Divorce..

I guess when I got ‘reinstated’ they must have figured that I had not been married for that 43 years(well 30 at the time) and, to be honest, I was quite taken aback by their acceptance. (I had not been Divorced at the time).

As far as I am concerned, it has changed far too much, as far as I am concerned....

Well then bummer for them, because so am I.

Let's see who has the stronger crazy, shall we? Constitutional freedom for all, or barking sadistic totalitarian communist bitches.

Winner take all.

As long as we still have the Eurcharist, which IS our faith, I will NEVER leave it. I hope you consider that.

I know how you feel. But if there are no local Latin masses, maybe you should find an Eastern catholic church, or an Eastern Orthodox church so you can receive Jesus in communion.

Or Look up local parishes with Eucharistic adoration, and you may find resources on where to go

These stories all follow the same script.

and not one of them mentions they want to be a priest to serve Jesus...

Sometimes there will be evangelical woman ministers who preach a pretty conservative gospel. But the official Roman Catholic order doesn’t have a place for such a thing and she is foolish to try.

Ministers preach. Catholic women can preach and lead prayer services..look at Mother Angelica.And I know some powerful women ministers. But Catholics see the priesthood as a more profound calling.

Priests are in the place of Christ in the sacrifice of the mass. The roots are in the temple priesthood.

A lot of the theology gets complicated, but on a secular psychological and biological level, it means men and women have different roles...men as leaders, priests and defenders of the family, women as nurturers and mothers.

Women can do the same secular job as men, but they bring their femininity into the job. Ironically it is well documented thst women docs practice differently than men...ditto women cops. Just don't tell this to the feminazis.

But the priesthood has deep implications as being masculine...similar to fatherhood.

My mother always told me God allowed men to be priests to make it up to them that they can't have babies. Priests in the place of Christ in the mass turn the bread and wine into Christ. Ah but we women can give birth to a child who will live eternally.
