Wants to be Pope Joan

Comment(s) () | TrackBacks (0)

Rich Leonardi reports the latest news on the Sr. Anne parish "Father" Joan pastoral administrator debacle.

The woman you are speaking about also was seen wearing a t-shirt with an image of the nativity scene with one major alteration - the words 'Its a girl!' and the Crucifix she wears is different as well - the Corpus is not Christ, but clearly a woman. She also shared in a meeting that she has been waiting since the 1970s for the Church to ordain women and she thinks the time is finally upon us. A letter is on the way to the Papal Nuncio's office if it has not yet arrived and attached are several signatures of eye-witnesses to this nonsense.

Rich previously reported on what a now former  parishioner had to say.

At the "third informational meeting" held before she was officially acting as the administrator, she made 2 statements, in front of a good size representation of the congregation, when asked if some of the previous traditional liturgical practices would remain the same at Saint Anne's. She replied, "I AM what I AM and it IS what it IS".

When asked about wanting to become a priest, she announced quite boldly, "It is no secret that since 1975, I have wanted to become a priest." When asked by a parishoner if she understood that this was against the acceptance of the Catholic Church, she told the parishoner that he was "out of line". This was very confusing to many of us, as we still cannot figure out exactly what or who, it IS she THINKS she IS.

I wonder how many people in this diocese have the date of the Bishop's 75th Clarks birthday memorized?

It's always very telling to me that these women declare they have "wanted" to be a priest for blah blah many years... As if it's a thing that one chooses for oneself, like dental school.

In other news: I have tagged you for the "six quirks" meme.

I don't understand why these women just don't become Anglican or Episcopalian. But of course it's a "power" issue - that mean old pope and his all-male cronies trying to keep the poor Catholic women down and they must fight!!! Never mind about obedience and all that rot.

Hmph.

P.S. Sorry to be an Apostrophe Nazi but ... you shouldn't have an apostrophe in "wants".

Found a source of IT'S A GIRL nativity scene T-shirts. (Link on name)

In response, I'm thinking it might be time to make an IT'S A BOY nativity scene T-shirt.

True irony isn't always funny.

Sr. Anne parish "Father" Joan pastoral assistant debacle.

Would that she were an "assistant"; she's a pastoral administrator, which in Bishop Clark's warped diocese means she has authority over the entire parish.

Oh dear, those poor people! Why is it that the people who are so obsessed with other people (e.g. priests) having "power" that they behaved like crazed Stalinist lunatics when they get some themselves?

" date of the Bishop's 75th Clarks birthday "

I meant what you knew... but that needs some editing!

What an idiot this woman is...all she wants is 'power'!

How long, O Lord, how long, for the long-suffering faithful Catholics of Rochester? (I'm next door in the diocese of Syracuse)

The Curt Jester

A former atheist who after spending forty years in the wilderness finds himself with both astonishment and joy a member of the Catholic Church. This blog presents my hopefully humorous and sometimes serious take on things religious, political, and whatever else crosses my mind.

Blessed Miguel Pro, S.J.

Known as "God's Jester" was a martyr for the faith and a man of wisdom, fun, tricks, poetry, song, and dance. Thus seemed an appropriate Patron Saint of this blog.
