MissScripture Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Well, technically, they already excommunicated themselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, but the media keeps saying they are Catholic, and members of the Catholic church. If this is to stop, I think we'll need a formal public excommunication.

[/quote] Something tells me they would still "celebrate" their "Masses"...but yes, at least they would be referred to as "excommunicated Catholics".

dUSt Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 This is maddening: [quote]On a recent June day in Maryland, four more women were ordained as priests. [b]The gallery at St. John's United Church of Christ was filled with Catholic priests and nuns, there to support the women and the ordination movement[/b] — though visitors were asked not to photograph them. Witnessing the ceremony was enough to risk excommunication. The audience turned to watch as the women made their way down the aisle, beaming like brides. The two-and-a-half-hour ceremony ended with Holy Communion — the moment they'd been waiting for. Each woman performed the rites for the first time as a priest, breaking bread and serving wine as tears of joy flowed down their faces. http://www.npr.org/2011/06/12/137102746/women-priests-defy-the-church-at-the-altar [/quote] It's interesting the choice of words used, they were "beaming like brides". But... the church is suppose to be the bride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Who "ordained" them? They are just a sad splintered, broken, heretical group of women. And not really even a threat. We had a women's ordination protest at our cathedral yesterday. 6 old angry senior citizens. Inside were over 1,000 Catholics and over 100 priests to watch 3 men be ordained by our bishop. It just makes them look silly. Only the liberal media takes women like these seriously. Yes, they have already excommunicated themselves, but even if it is made public and formal the media will still ignore the true Church. I think the true Church does what is in the best interest of their souls. I remember a while back one woman repented and confessed her sin, rejoining the Church.

[quote]Witnessing the ceremony was enough to risk excommunication.[/quote] Again, pretty sure they excommunicated themselves, already... Stupid media.

CatherineM Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 If they knew ahead of time when these things were going to happen, I'd love to see Pope Benedict and Cardinal Burke crash the party and start taking names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sad that they have forsaken the Sacrament for this... Prayers for them. And as much as this is probably infuriating to most people, please remember that we are called to love those who persecute us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
