Womenpriest

Boy was this the time to quote the real vs Sears poncho line. Must e-mail this to hubby ASAP...

I'm going to eat this entire taco in one bite.

Wine and cheese is served on the Maid of the Mist.

I suppose you mean 'Just because I don't have a Y chromosome..." Women have XX, men XY.

Why don't they just join one of the zillion Protestant churches that allow Women Ministers or whose theology they agree with? One of my sisters is becoming a Presbyterian minister. I'm not happy about it, I'll pray for her, but, at least she isn't misrepresenting herself as a Catholic Priest. These folks are protestant, they just don't get it.

@CPTTom:

They don't just go to some Protestant Church, because if they went, no-one would give s*** about them. They won't be on the news and all that... Understand? ;-)

It's not a taco, it looks more like an Eggo waffle.

Petra,

True. I keep forgetting that. Also, they wouldn't have any money either. Like any terrorist group, they need to be denied access to financial comfort...it is the only way to stop them.

From their point of view, they don't go to another church because they are trying to "convert" the Catholic Church, effecting change from within.

Note: they are wearing the Glad Wrap vestments to proclaim womyn's liberation from the oppression of the leftovers.

Drinking Game: let's take a swig of this Kool-Aid every time we say the phrase: "God Our Mother"

The whole picture strikes me as rather chaotic.
First, one must ask, why are womenpriests always so ugly? - yeah, I know its mean, but do you ever see pictures of attractive women seeking "ordination" or feigning priesthood?

Next, they are wearing some sort of vestments, but even these don't apper to be correct (the womanpriest seems to be vested in a dalmatic)

What's with the 2 carafes of Paul Masson - I think that is the type that is sold in the supermarket in carafes - just pop off the vacuum-sealed lid.

Another woman (a womanpriest or a womandeacon?) is holding "the script" - how sloppy! If they insist on playing Mass they should at least do it with some class!

A disembodied hand is holding the aspergelium - or is it a microphone - up to the mouth of the womanpriest as if to rub-off her lipstick.

One man is shown taking photographs (methinks this must be HIS full, active and conscious participation!)

Did anyone notice that they all have some sort of I.D. Badge suspended from lanyards around their necks? Maybe they are womenbishops and these are their "pectoral amulets"

ugghh! Nauseating!

"Darnit, Edith, hold it closer ... I can't read the Kool-Aid recipe from that far."

1. It's becoming clear that there's a "newsroom dictionary" definition of "ordain," and it has nothing to do with real sacramentality, b/c it applies to rabbis, ministers, etc. The problem is, the predominance of this journalistic definition of "ordain" could become such that the Church's teaching becomes, not just countercultural, but literally unthinkable. I think this is the real meaning of the overused term "Orwellian."

We'll know we've reached this point when we start hearing "Whaddy mean we can't ordain women? We just did -- I've got it right here on camera!" advanced as an unanswerable argument.

2. The question addressed to Fr. McNamara gives me further creeps about whether Catholics have a clue about the Church's teaching on ordination. Note how the questioner seeks to reassure Father that the Episcopal church in which his friend is being ordained is "high" -- as though smells and bells might validate an otherwise dodgy ordination.

Of course, none of them seem to be under the age of 55...

I've shared this story before, but it's worth repeating. Fr. Rutler of "Christ in the City" fame once was serving as a hosptial chaplain. He visited a patient to administer the sacrament of the sick. When he pulled out his jar of ointment, a nun at the patient's bedside said, "You know, if I had a penis I could do that." Fr. Rutler reportedly replied, "Madam, I generally use my thumb."

Cacciaguida - they have effected the same coup as they did with the term "marriage."

'Whaddya mean I, as a man, cannot marry another man? I just did, right here on camera.'

What's next?

"Joining her at the altar on Sundays -- also in clerical robes -- have been a married man, his wife and another woman."

I was unaware that clerical robes also doubled as wet suits. Though given their apparent ineptness, they might just be there so they can wipe the wine off after they spell it all over themselves. It's not like they have a real consencration.

These women blatantly passing themselves off as RC priests are pretty dang sick and twisted if you ask me.
BMP

It's Poncho and Judy!

"My name is Victoria Rue," she said. "And I am a Roman Catholic woman priest."

Oh, no, you aren't!

"Oh, yes, I am!"

Oh, no, you aren't!

Etc....

I just got back from a Gallagher show and I haven't had time to change. I hope you don't mind.

"First, one must ask, why are women priests so ugly?"

These broads have been rejected by even their fellow lesbians! They have to make a niche for themselves somewhere in the world.

No, that's not Paul Masson. It's Aunt Jemima - to go with the waffles.

Notice how we lack red (rubrics) in our notebook so it doesn't clash with our 'vest'ments.

and

Notebook? Why you didn't think we would use the lectionary

I didn't have time to read the post, but judging by the picture, between the red and white atire and the alcohol this picture must have been taken at a Badger Game, however football season is months away and most Wisconsinites perfer wine to beer.

Wrong on so many levels.

And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my waaaaay

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my waaaaay

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my waaay

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my waaaaaaay"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

[instrumental]

Yes, it was my waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Not God's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Hey, but how do you all *really* feel about this? I'm afraid you might be holding back ....

It's the same conversation I have with protestants. Where do you get your authority to interpret scripture? How do you authoritatively know how to practice worship? Personal interpretation makes every man (or womyn) his (yes, his) own pope.

Are these people completely unaware that they are using glass chalices?

Glass! Oh the humanity.

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes photo from the set of the upcoming film "Pirates of the Galilean", the actresses are seen practicing their lines. The movie is about a group of pirate womyn and their attempts to hijack Catholic rituals. In this scene, the crew of the Sea Priestess raid the local Home Goods store of its glassware.

`Growing up it was never a possibility because it was always for men.'

Guess what? It still isn't a possibility!!!!

"Good thing we've been ordained before everybody reads the Compendium and realizes how great the Catholic Church is."

Man,I mean Woman, there is so much wine up there you would think they are getting ripped torn.

Oh my, I didn't know Shelly Winters is still alive? OK, I get it, this was a remake of the Poseidon Adventure, right? Thatmust be her agent on the right checking her contract to make sre Shelly's trailer has plenty of Eggo waffles and Iced Coffee, as she's plainly showing everyone.

Rich Leonardi: you absolute bounder, sir. You've just made me snort hot tea down my nose.

Fr JT,

Shelly Winters, huh? That's a new one!

There was a thread on Free Republic long ago about this story. People posted pictures of Chris Farley, Rip Taylor and the lion from the Wizard of Oz as likenesses to this priestess of the high seas. Funny stuff!

"Maranatha, even so come Lord Jesus". Please hurry!!

You know, when I was a small child, I really wanted to be a priest. Of course, I also thought that if I got my hair cut really short, I'd be a boy. :) Then I grew up!

Honestly, I think you've nailed it when you point out that these women are older. (I don't know about ugly - I'm no model but I'm not a nut!) Some women hit their second childhood or a midlife crisis in which they decide to go berzerk. So suddenly they have a "calling". (From Satan, maybe. Certainly not from God or Avon.) I've met women in their late 40s and early 50s who suddenly decide to become "animal healers" (being a vet would take too long) or folk artists (aka selling stuff at craft fairs) or lesbians (a special surprise to their husbands and grown children) or psychics... I don't think these wanna-be priestesses are anything different. They're just annoying - and thank God that they're so pathetic! If these were 20-year-olds with some stage presence, I'd be worried.

There's more information on this "woman priest" here.

Hey, but how do you all *really* feel about this? I'm afraid you might be holding back ....

When I was five years old, I used to feed my sister necco wafers for communion. These women are as much a priest as I was then.

(Know what was funny? My sister never asked to be the one doing the "feeding". She would have no more done that than she would have stood to pee.)

Oh heck, I'm having so much fun, I'll do another caption:

"~~~`~`Sing a new church into beeeeeeing.....~`~``"

I checked out that website. I choked on a ChupaChup when I read Rue's press release statement: "we hope that instead of condemning the Roman Catholic Women Priest movement, church leaders will learn about the history of women' s ordination in our Roman Catholic Church...." Gee, that's a bit like learning the history of our Martian ancestors, ain't it?

And they want the Church to "dialogue with us on shaping together a more inclusive, Christ centered church of equals." Why is it that when people do something outrageous, they call for the offended party to waste more time on "dialogue" with them? Oh, the arrogance!

And when they need a little extra money they can work on highway road crews directing traffic too.

Good for Fr Rutler! Thanks for the quote, Rich.

Those wackey women wannabe priests; eh, Billy HW?

http://www.sffaith.com/ed/articles/2006/0606cz.htm
"Concelebrating with Rue was Don Cordero, a former Jesuit priest who left the ministry to get married."

So the consecration could have been valid??? Yikes!
I just hope they messed up the form and matter of the sacrament to the point where it wouldn't be valid.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I saw this photo! Okay, it looks to me like the try-outs for their own cooking show on The Food Network:

Woman holding the food: Okay, we want to do a show called "Extreme Eating". Here, I am demonstrating how to eat an Eggo like you would a French toast stick...FIRST, you put on your syrup-proof bib...

Woman holding the script: No,no, FIRST you are supposed to thaw the Eggo! It says so right here!

Notice that she is holding the wine and the waffle together. In the Mass the accidents are consecrated separately to re-present the manner in which Christ died. If they were consecrated together, it would be life (body and blood). I heard this from Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. Therefore when she holds up the waffle and the wine at the same time she is not depicting death, but life. She's got it all backwards.

...or maybe that's an *Ego* waffle.... hmmmm....!

"we hope that instead of condemning the Roman Catholic Women Priest movement, church leaders will learn about the history of women' s ordination in our Roman Catholic Church...."

The modern trend in radical and historically foundationless change movements is to claim a valid historical pedigree, for which proof is hard to come by only because of Church-directed suppression efforts. C.f. Da Vinci Code (re Mary Magdalene), and the entire later oeuvre of Prof. John Boswell (re homosexuality).

She's got it all backwards.

Isn't that one of the hallmarks of the Satanic?? *blink blink* At least, in pop culture, it is...

I can't believe we could get so wasted while eating the appetizers. Move the menu a little closer, I can't make out a word of it!

Karioki at it's worst. This is so lame.....

Women are not called to be Priest's; Jesus did not call women to be priests. He chose the 12 to be the model for all of our Priesthood. Only Men were called, and only men are called.
All God's Children are equal in Baptism, but I do not need to take part in a fanciful "Ordination" service and wear ugly vestments, to prove my equality with others. I am sad you need to prove your version of equality this way. The ordinations are invalid. The women may claim to have been ordained by those in true apostolic succession, but as the Holy Father says “By your very actions you are excommunicated", they are totally invalid orders. I beg you, give this us now, and return to true faith of the apostles; your souls are in danger if you do not.
Lord, have mercy, Ave Maria.

'And now, we're demonstrating how tacos tastes good with wine. First we...Sorry could you move the script closer?'
