The Catholic church will not allow her to be buried at a Catholic parish.<\/p>\n<p>Janine Denomme was ordained a priest in April by a group called Roman Catholic Womenpriests. She had been battling cancer and yesterday she died in her Edgewater home.<\/p>\n<p>The Catholic church never recognized Denomme&#8217;s ordination. The Archdiocese of Chicago says Denomme automatically separated herself from the Church when she participated in &#8220;the simulation of the sacrament of Holy Orders.&#8221; The diocese says she knowingly and willingly participated in the simulation and brought excommunication upon herself. And because of that Denomme is denied a Catholic funeral. The Archdiocese says Denomme would only be allowed a Church burial if she gave &#8220;some sign of repentance before death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Denomme&#8217;s funeral mass will be held at First United Methodist Church in Evanston.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She could have avoided this problem if she had chosen to become an influential pro-abortion Senator instead.  Then she could have had a televised Catholic funeral.  To be fair this case is much more cut and dry compared to a case where a bishop would have some prudential decision made as to the sign of repentance of in regards to a pro-abortion Catholic politician.<\/p>\n<p>This case though does make me rather sad and I pray for her and for that matter her lesbian partner Nancy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wdtprs.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/the-fruits-of-excommunication\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9449\" title=\"jesterHat\" src=\"http:\/\/www.splendoroftruth.com\/curtjester\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/jesterHat.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"26\" height=\"16\" \/>Father Z<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman who challenged a Catholic ordination ban has died.
