Apotheoun Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Link to the New York Times (Sept. 2012) article on women priests (and bishops) in the Roman Catholic Church: NYT: Women as Priests The article contains a lot of photographs of the women who have been ordained as priests, and consecrated as bishops, over the course of the last decade.

PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yeah, actually that part saddens me the most-- the idea that St. Therese would advocate this... :( They actually claim ( with a bogus quote from St Therese, they refuse to source) that St Therese WANTED to be ordained, and that God was going to call her home before formation could be coompleted, so she was ok with not getting ordained...humph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Lord, she was in Carmel for heaven's sake. Unless Carmel is the equivalent to a seminary...

Papist Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 My son wants to be a priest. But the Patriarchal Church tells him he is too young. Even after I told them he has been baptized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Those interested can read a homily by Eileen McCafferty DiFranco, one of the women in RCWP group, at the link below. You need to skip the first homily, which was written by a man, and go to the second one entitled "30th Sunday, Cycle A" in order to read what she wrote. Homily The homily is constantly critical of the Church, and after reading it I came away wondering why this woman would even want to be a Catholic.

OnlySunshine Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 My son wants to be a priest. But the Patriarchal Church tells him he is too young. Even after I told them he has been baptized. The nerve! Maybe you should start your own church for priests who are too young for ordination. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Not that I'm for women's ordination ... but that statement is not right. Besides ... who do you think sews the clothing? I don't think most who make the priestly garments are men. It was just a joke relating to how she was wearing the vestments wrong, you know. But it does have some validity to it: If they won't listen to the Church on ordinations, why the heck would they care about what colors are supposed to be worn on the liturgical calender? I would imagine machines do more sewing than anything else, but I honestly haven't looked into who or what sews Mass vestments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
