#1 Fred is exactly right in his tone and assumptions. This woman just jumped out the window. Her "congregation" won't out last her and then its gone too. And from her age she hasn't got a decade if that.

You not only don't buck the Catholic system and its way of doing things...you can't. There are Catholics all over the place who try and always have. You don't see them around for very long. Dried up and blown away. There have been whole groups down thru' history. I once walked through a graveyard on the North African coast with headstones from before St. Augustine, reading the headstones with symbols from some obscure group that didn't play the game with Roma concerning a definition of Catholic. THAT was all that was left of them...the gravestones in the middle of nowhere. Dried up and blown away.

#2 This won't end well for Sr. Rosemarie.

You can't wish yourself a member of a 2000 year old private club no matter how butthurt you are that they don't want you.

It's those pesky rules and all. . . .

#3 part of a dissident group operating outside of official Roman Catholic Church

I believe the proper term is Protestants, since 1517.

#4 Seventy percent of U.S. Catholics believe that women should be allowed to be priests

Last time I checked, the RCC is not a democracy nor has hid that fact.

Smead said she is not worried about being excommunicated from the Church - the fate of other women ordained outside of Vatican law. "It has no sting for me," said Smead

Which tells me she's not Catholic. Being excommunicated means being OUT OF COMMUNION.

Betcha if you scratch around in her past, you find all sorts of "liberation theology" and other Marxist BS.

#7 The headline is idiotic. The only "defiance" here is in the good former Sister's head. The only way the church would take the slightest notice would be if a RC bishop in current good standing tried to ordain her. Then the bishop would quickly become an ex-bishop and the whole proceeding declared null and void.

#10 Rosemarie Smead has excommunicated herself, latæ sententiæ. Her excommunication may have been occult for years; it is now public knowledge.

P.S. Does Ms. Smead's silly pretend ordination also defy the Byzantine Catholic Church? What about the Melkite Catholics, the Coptic Catholics, the Uniate Catholics...?

#11 I belonged to one of these groups when I lived in the Bay Area; meaning, specifically, a small church formed by a renegade former nun. I greatly enjoyed being a part of it too. I got a lot out of it, and still consider myself a member, even though I live too far away to attend services regularly.

However, the church I belonged to never claimed to be part of the Catholic church, to be Catholic in any manner, or demanded that the Catholic Church do or not do anything. Our bishop was a *former* Catholic nun who decided to go her own way with her own teachings - not somebody going "look at me!"

#12 There 'ya go SM. That's the way it's done. In gawds due time we will all be independent Baptists and roll in our free-will and our asiles, purdy much.

:)

Really.

Srsly. I like the sound of that church.
