Uhm... Yes?

"Ah, Lord GOD!" I said, "I know not how to speak; I am too young." (Jeremiah 1:6) Let your light shine through me, though I know how pitiable I am, I also know how great you are, and how beautiful you've made us all. May I be yours always, and may your will be done. Even when I and others think I am too young. I cry out with Samuel, not knowing who is calling, but saying nonetheless, "Here I am." (1 samuel 3:4). "Speak, for your servant is listening." (1 samuel 3:10)

Women Priests

A couple of Anglican women "priests" have converted to catholicism...

My favourite quote...

Christina Rees of Women and the Church says: "Every woman who is ordained as a priest in the Church of England knows in one sense there is still a question mark hanging over her orders in a way which does not hang over the order of her male colleagues."
Catholics, incidentally, would disagree with this last claim. There is no question mark hanging over the orders of any Anglican priest – at least, not according to Pope Leo XIII.

That last line means, Catholics don't believe ANY Anglican (or protestant) has "(Holy) Orders" only Catholics, Orthodox, and a few other churches which are so small and unheard of in the US to really bear mention.

Here's praying and to hoping that those schismatic and excommunicated women who think they've gotten Catholic Holy Orders will repent and convert...
