Catholic woman in secret ordination
A woman has been ordained as a priest in a secret ceremony in central Europe as an act of defiance against the Roman Catholic Church. The woman who was "ordained" does not want to be identifiedThree years ago, the Vatican moved decisively against an international movement for the ordination of women when it excommunicated the so-called Danube Seven.
Seven women had claimed the status of priests after a form of ordination ceremony held on a boat moored on the river Danube.
Now a similar ceremony has taken place in a private chapel in central Europe.
Very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. And before any Catholics get all up in arms about this and start yelling about how women shouldn't be in the clergy and blah, blah blah, I'm well aware of your beliefs and most religions views on women. I just think this little occurrence is an interesting turn of events that should prove to bring attention to what I see as the denigration of women across the religious globe.

I'm not sure about that part, but she appears to be practicing from the pictures. There is another woman behind her in the same red robes. I wonder if she is a nun? And obviously it isn't mainstream Caltholic anything as mentioned above because I don't know of any branches that wear red anything.
