I noticed in their "Eucharistic Prayer" video that everyone said the words of institution.
What is the point of a (womyn-)priesthood if everyone can do it along with you? I see this as evidence that the "legitimate" or "sacramental" priesthood is not even one of their main goals stemming from their equality rhetoric and that their real focus is to foist their views upon others by using tradition of the Church as a wedge.
Her 1980 musical...was never staged
With all due respect to mizz Janice Sevre (hyphen) Duszynksa, one should not judge her talents as a writer on the basis of the fact that her musical was never staged.
The fact is that the priestte movement insisted on casting Sister Joan Chittister in the lead role. This caused conflict with the director Hans Kung.
Kung at the time was enduring numerous critiques for the many historical errors which littered his book on the history of the papacy. He felt that an aging none insisting on wearing a polyester pantsuit while portraying an eleven year old girl Catholic school-girl would do nothing to enhance his reputation. "I simply cannot work with someone who insists on being a bigger Prima Dona than me," he is quoted as saying.
Chill out, Tom. These wacky gals are into minute 13.5 of fame. Most people view them as cold nuts. That's why they attract a handful of aging cuckoobirds to their hardy har har liturgies. Truth has staying power. These chicks don't.
I thought you were just really good at being really funny then I went to the website of this gal and couldn't stop laughing until the sad patheticness of the whole situation hit me. There is no fool like an old fool.
As far as I can find via Google, the only Rev. Joe Irvin in the U.S. is a Lutheran.
The sound you hear is Dorothy Day screaming to be let go while God is holding her back to keep her from going down & reenacting the scene where Jesus kicked out the moneychangers from the temple.
Given that Dorothy Day fully supported the teachings of the Catholic Church, there is no way she would ever have approved of anything like this.
Over the years, so many people in the Catholic Worker Movement have betrayed both its founder & its purpose. Here is another prime example.
PS to Dim Bulb, I loved the production scenario. But isn't saying Sr. (alledged) Joan C was too old to play an 11 yr old agism?, something this group would clearly be opposed to.
Doesn't do a lot to reassure those of us who have concearns about the "Catholic Worker Houses" does it?
Heck, Dorothy Day had concerns. And let's face it -- as soon as a movement starts looking successful, you usually get Iagos moving in. (A lot of saints who founded religious orders later got imprisoned or kicked out by their successors.)
"What is the point of a (womyn-)priesthood if everyone can do it along with you?"
I think that is exactly the point.
"Hold fast to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle". When they are not in union with the Pope and the Magisterium, they are not Catholic.
Why is it that this problem only appears to be among the Roman Catholics? Why aren't there any Byzantine Catholic wimmin' priests?
Maybe the Byzantines just never lost their heads after Vatican II. Maybe their interest in the Fathers of the Church helped shield them when the Spirit of Vatican II started blowin' in the wind.
Or, maybe it has to do with the fact that women and girls have no ministerial role in the Divine Liturgy. Only men and boys are chosen to read, hold candles, or enter through the iconostasis into the santuary.
Whatever it is, they're doing something right that "Roman Catholic" can be usurped by self-serving, conceited, narcissistic, egoists.
Women can not be Priests, Jesus and all the apostals were men! What crooked theology here! How sad!
