    Eigth women were ordained as priests and four as Deacons today in Pittsburgh,Pa in definance of Rome. I believe it was done by a local Catholic Bishop who will not reveal his name.
    Although againest church law, these women are fully ordained priests.

    Good for him and good for them! Do you remember the part where Jesus said women can't wear the collar? Me neither.

    The article I read about them in USA Today called them "Womenpriests." What the fuck. Why not just call them Priestesses??????
