Allowing his church to be used for a service marking the annual World Day
\nof Prayer for Women’s Ordination has gotten a Milwaukee priest in hot water
\nwith the archbishop and attracted attention elsewhere in the country.<\/p>\n
Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan was going to "address it with those concerned," said
\narchdiocesan spokesman Jerry Topczewski, who indicated that Dolan was not pleased.<\/p>\n

The March 25 prayer service at St. Matthias Church was the first one known

\nno one has ever said we can’t pray about the issue," Hanley said.<\/p>\n
That’s a way getting around getting around the letter of the
\nlaw worthy of a five year old. This is like telling you son to stop saying
\nwhat he is saying to his sister so he starts singing it instead.<\/p>\n
