In an emotional ceremony filled with tears and applause, a 70-year-old Kentucky woman was
ordained a priest on Saturday as part of a dissident group operating outside of
official Roman Catholic Church authority.
Rosemarie Smead was ordained by the dissident group
Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests Saturday 27th April 2013
at a Louisville
church. Smead, 70, was raised as a devout Catholic, briefly lived as cloistered nun
and has worked as a college professor.
This is the first of such ordination in Louisville by the Women Priests group, which
has been holding those services around the world. Smead's service took place in
a Protestant sanctuary, St. Andrew's United Church of Christ on Saturday.
Louisville Archbishop Joseph Kurtz said in a statement the Women Priests group is not an entity of the Roman Catholic Church. "Its action in carrying out a simulated ordination of Dr. Rosemarie Smead stands in direct opposition to the Roman Catholic Church's teaching on the priesthood," Kurtz said.
Kurtz said the "simulation of a sacrament carries very serious penal sanctions in Church law, and Catholics should not support or participate."

That one is a joke, the catholic church lacks the authority to ordain women priest. And the women attempting the ordination and the one supposedly ordained has incured authomatic excommunication.
Joke of the century...
@ben Don't all servants of God have an equal duty to serve him?
Ordination is done in the course of service/duty to God, it is not a right nor privilege nor power.
The fools are excommunicated and should not be referred to as catholics.
See how catholics are foaming in the mouth cus a woman was allegedly made a priest. Freakin' misogynists...
I agree with those who called it a joke, only because they linked it to the catholic church. Else it would have been no different from the female ministers in various non catholic groups. Ordained in a protestant church by God knows who, yet claims catholicism...that's where it becomes a joke.
say hi to me.
