Having just today learned about this organized effort to develop and place women as priests I feel led to post some information about a new phenomenon in the Christian Church.
In 2002 seven women were ordained on the Danube River. This is part of an effort to challenge Church Canon Law 1024 as an unjust law that discriminates against women.
Detailed information can be found at romancatholicwomenpriests. org
Reports that there are presently 208 ordained women priests across the world with 128 in the US. Many questions and myths are address at FAQs linked on the home page.
There is expectations that all will be excommunicated by Rome. Women priests are convinced that they are part of the apostolic succession. Biblical references to the role of women in the church appear to give historic base for Roman Catholic Women Priests.
Thanks to Debra for putting me on to this innovation.
