She would do well to remember where she receives her authority...
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 King James Version (KJV)
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Knew it would be a woman pastor. Sometimes one has to judge a person by their public actions Violet.
You’re probably right about nearly all of those things (though surprisingly it seems that on the first one you are not—she and her husband made a new combined last name).
You can find her Twitter and Church website with a little Googling.
She’s totally nuts.
What does a “Methodist Pastor” know about it ?
This sure isn’t my Grandmother’s church!! The Methodist church has just gone to hell in a hand basket is all I can say.
With all due respect to Pastor Johnicker, this is an internal Catholic matter and none of her business.
So what’s this jackass going to do? Start the religious wars all over again?
.
Amen to that.
A Methodist getting all righteous? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm not defending the UMC because it has been circling the drain for most of my lifetime, even though I came from 5 generations of (real) Methodist Episcopalians, many of whom are spinning in their graves at what UMC has become. (I've since found a church that practices the apostolic faith.) Nor can I claim to have read Wesley's precise instructions about communion. But what I was taught in childhood is that Methodism uses grape juice because of its founding strength in the temperance movement in England and the US, and that there is nothing specific in the Bible requiring fermentation. I've also heard that they believe the taking of the wafer and "wine" is symbolic, that the elements nourish one's body, and a communicant is part of the Body of Christ, ergo, by taking it one is then part of the Body and Blood.
The church of which I am now a communicant believes that because Christ said "Do this in remembrance of Me," and "this IS my body; this IS my blood," that they actually are His Body and Blood at the moment you take them—because He said so. Like the RCC, the LCMS disapproves of any taking of the eucharist unworthily, and has procedures in place concerning that.
Thank you for these reflections. I know one can find a lot of nuances about out understanding of the Sacred Presence in Communion. It’s nothing that yields entirely to some kind of rational analysis. He who feeds us will “find a way.”
Some friends of mine were on a call committee recently interviewing prospective new pastors. During the interview, one of the women pastors told a cute anedote about how a child had been hungry and whiny during a meeting that his mother had brought him along to, so the woman pastor gave the child some of the communion wafer. Thankfully, she did not get the job. Women are an abomination as head pastors of congregations.
Pastor Violet could invite Joe to join her congregation.
I do not believe any intrinsic purity is in the wafers themselves or their manufacture. The purity is in the wafer as it is being offered in communion. If the offer or the acceptance is false, the purity is not given to or accpted in the heart of the recipient.
Giving such a wafer to a crying infant has nothing to do with communion, nor does it disgrace it.
That all is neither here nor than as far as accepting or rejecting women as pastors. THAT is a separate matter unrelated to the incident you mentioned.
