(click above title for a pdf file) Please select the category of resource material: Books Links Papal Documents ‘Catholic theology and practice provide some breathing room to those who disagree on some noncentral issues, especially moral matters. People can make their own conscientious decisions and continue to participate in the life of the church despite practicing contraception, being divorced and remarried, or living in a committed gay or lesbian union. The church has space for practically all of these decisions. Unfortunately, where it is a question of church structure, there is no wiggle room. Those who struggle for the ordination of women cannot solve the problem in conscience. The institutional church needs to change. I can appreciate why some women have left the Catholic Church. But I admire and support, as much as I can, those who stay and struggle for change. They are true pilgrims who witness to us the meaning of hope.’ --Charles E.

Rose Marie Dunn Hudson of Festus, Missouri, and Elsie Hainz McGrath of Saint Louis, will be ordained by Bishop Patricia Fresen of Germany. The ordination is part of the Roman Catholic Womenpriests (RCWP) movement. This movement is building a renewed model of priesthood for a renewed Church, so as to achieve full equality of women and men and live with inclusiveness, respect and justice for all in a community of open and affirming equals. Rose Marie and Elsie have both earned graduate degrees in theology and ministry, and have been engaged in active ministry for many years. Rose Marie is a retired school teacher, a wife, mother and grandmother. Elsie is a retired editor, a widow, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Prophetic obedience, a hallmark of the RCWP movement, led them to make this life-altering commitment and  walk the talk  of clerical reform in the Roman Catholic Church. As priests, they will continue to exercise a variety of volunteer ministries. They will also co-pastor the Thérèse of Divine Peace Inclusive Community on Saturdays at 4:30 p.m. beginning December 1, 2007. The Thérèse community will meet in Hope Chapel at the First Unitarian Church of Saint Louis, 5007 Waterman Avenue. The RCWP movement began in 2002, when seven women ( The Danube Seven ) were ordained by Bishop Romulo Braschi of Argentina. Bishop Braschi did so by the power vested in Roman Catholic bishops who are in full apostolic succession from Jesus Christ. The following year, several male bishops, in full communion with the pope, ordained two of those women as bishops. These same male bishops, along with the two women bishops, ordained Patricia Fresen a bishop in 2004. The ceremony will take place at 3 o \'clock in the afternoon at Central Reform Congregation (CRC), a Reform Jewish congregation in Saint Louis. CRC \'s Rabbi Susan Talve says that the congregation \'s Board of Directors agreed to host the ordination because  our building was built to be a Sukkat Shalom ­ a shelter of peace ­ for those who need it.   It is an honor to celebrate these historic ordinations at CRC,  Bridget Mary Meehan, national spokesperson for RCWP, stated.  Catholic womenpriests work with all faith traditions for peace, justice, and equality in our world.

She has been in the counseling field for 27 years, landing there originally in an attempt to pursue the calling to ordination that had seemed to pursue her relentlessly since she was 5 years old. She completed a B.A. in Theology just after the conclusion of Vatican II, and worked as a DRE during the early transition years. She taught high school religion, got fed up with the hierarchy and its position on women, followed other wise and transformative spiritual paths for 20 years, then came around full circle to the heart of the RC tradition once again. After returning, Toni soon found herself in a parish working with a team of people interested in reaching out to disenfranchised and alienated Catholics. When anti-gay initiatives came before the voters of Oregon she approached a sympathetic priest with the idea for an outreach ministry to the gay and lesbian community. He was enthusiastically receptive, and this pastoral experience became the launching pad for her application and acceptance into seminary.

The mission of Roman Catholic Womenpriests North America is to spiritually prepare, ordain, and support women and men from all states of life, who are the","ROMAN CATHOLIC WOMENPRIESTS - North America VISION STATEMENT “A new model of ordained ministry in a renewed Roman Catholic church” Part I. Mission Roman Catholic Womenpriests (RCWP) is an international initiative within the Roman Catholic Church. The mission of Roman Catholic Womenpriests North America is to spiritually prepare, ordain, and support women and men from all states of life, who are theologically qualified, who are committed to an inclusive model of Church, and who are called by the Holy Spirit and their communities to minister Part II. Principles We believe: Women and men are created equal by God and can therefore equally represent Christ; Jesus offered an example of inclusiveness and respect of persons that led, in the early Church, to the practice of ordaining women and men from all states of life as deacons, priests, and bishops; We affirm that no intrinsic connection exists between priesthood and mandatory celibacy; We are called by the Holy Spirit from within our communities to follow Jesus as our model of empowerment and generous service, rejecting all forms of domination and control; We are called to live as a community of equals, inclusive and respectful of differences; We are called to transform hierarchical structures by creating new, community-based structures for discernment and the recognition of the gifts of all; We are called to a model of ministerial priesthood that is grounded in our common Baptism, in prophetic obedience to the Spirit, in a teaching authority based on Scripture and Tradition, and in reading the signs of the times; We are called to renew Theology, Liturgy, and Pastoral Practice to better reflect the spirit and teachings of the Second Vatican Council as expressed in Gaudium et Spes . We pledge to: Exercise collegial leadership in all our decision-making processes. Operate on the principle of subsidiarity in governance, recognizing that decisions affecting local and regional communities are made at those levels. Honour the spiritual authority of women, the faith experience of women, and the history of women \'s service to the church and the Gospel by giving all our members an equal voice in governance. Support candidates seeking ordination by helping them discover their particular giftedness and their call to a specific pastoral ministry. Elect all office holders by democratic process, after extensive consultation with all members, ordained and non-ordained. Set term limits for administrative office holders. Institute a periodic review of structures. Hold one another to mutual accountability, spiritual authenticity, and moral integrity consistent with Gospel values. Support ourselves financially, each according to her or his profession. We envision: The RCWP initiative as a renewal movement within the Roman Catholic Church that is transitional, and whose goal is to achieve full equality for women and men within the Church. RCWP as a communion of local and regional entities whose common purpose is to promote the ordination of women and men in full Apostolic Succession as a matter of justice and faithfulness to the Gospel. III. Structures 1. Preamble As companions on the faith journey, we participate together in the mission entrusted by Jesus Christ to his disciples. We are all equal and one in the Spirit with the People of God/de. The structures that follow are intended to function in concentric circles rather than hierarchically, to provide a framework for modelling a renewed priestly ministry to the church. These structures also express our commitment to forming community together, to offering generous support and loving service to the People of God/de, and to being accountable to the Spirit and to one another. 2. Membership in RCWP The membership of RCWP is comprised of Roman Catholic Bishops, Priests, Deacons, Ordinands (those who have an ordination date), and Candidates, (those who have been accepted into the Program of Preparation). Each member of RCWP belongs to and represents a wider circle which includes but is not limited to her/his spiritual counselors and mentors, advisors, family members, friends, and fellow seekers, both Roman Catholic and from other denominations, who wish to collaborate in achieving a renewed Roman Catholic Church. 3. Candidates Women and men who express an interest in ordained ministry are referred to the Regional Program Coordinator. The following are required prior to acceptance of an applicant into the Program of Preparation: For an individual under 55 years of age: Master of Divinity, Master of Theology, or the equivalent. For those 55 and over, a Bachelor of Theology, or the equivalent. Sometimes the theological study and the Program Units may be undertaken concurrently, if the applicant is able to do this. A résumé and copies of all relevant documents, including: baptismal and confirmation certificates; two letters of reference; all theological and pastoral degrees and transcripts; and, two recent photographs. An interview with one of our Regional Program Coordinators, (RPC), formerly called Program Assistants. The applicant will be asked to travel for this interview to the RPC who lives nearest to her/him, or the RPC may delegate one of the other RCWP members to conduct the interview and report to the RPC. Strong pastoral experience. If this is lacking, at least one unit of Clinical Pastoral Education or 3 academic courses in Pastoral Studies are strongly recommended. Before acceptance into the Program, Unit 1 must be completed. This consists of writing a synopsis of one \'s life story and the story of the applicant \'s growing awareness of a possible call to priesthood. Unit 1 also has a spirituality question. A criminal background check from the police. A psychological evaluation by a Licensed or Registered Psychologist or Psychiatrist, preferably one who has experience evaluating candidates for ministry and/or priesthood. A report is submitted by the Clinician to the Regional Program Coordinator concerned. (See Addendum A: Custody of the Records of RCWP Candidates). Candidates need to be aware that ordination in RCWP is for service. Therefore, Candidates who do not have the support of a local community to whom they will eventually minister will work with other ministers to find or build a base community which will affirm their call and support them in their ministry. Ministries could include but would not be limited to: Liturgy; Continuing Education in the Faith; parish ministries; Community Outreach; Ministries to marginalised persons and groups; and Spiritual Companioning. Candidates will also be advised that the Program of Preparation is first and foremost a discernment process, and that admission to the Program does not automatically guarantee ordination. 4. Local Circles It is primarily from within the local communitythat the Holy Spirit calls forth candidates for priestly ministry. It is in this local circle that ordained Ministers find the support and nurturing they need to live out their priesthood. The local community is also where RCWP members will have the opportunity to discover the pastoral needs of their region, but their ministry is not limited to those needs. For example: Develop a positive image of women in the Roman Catholic Church. Engage in ecumenism which includes full recognition of other Christian denominations as well as recognition of common principles and formation of common goals with the other religions of the world. Model people-centred and joyful proclamation of the Gospel. Offer a receptive pastoral response to individuals involved in divorce and remarriage so that all feel welcome at the Eucharistic Table. Take a supportive stance with regard to women \'s health, social and economic well-being. Reach out to youth, to the underprivileged, to those involved in chemical dependence, to the elderly, and to all other marginalised persons of the community. The Priest serves the local community by presiding at Eucharist and other sacramental celebrations. She/he will take particular care to respect recognized Roman Catholic liturgical rubrics and to utilize inclusive language in the celebration of the sacraments. 5. Regional Circles A region is a geographic entity, the boundaries of which are determined by such demographic parameters as size, location, population, and culture. Regional boundaries, although established by consensus in October 2006, will be subject to periodic re-evaluation and possible change as RCWP continues to grow. In North America, there are five regions in the Continental USA, (East, South, Mid-West, Central, and West) and two regions in Canada, (East and West). For more specific information, see Addendum B, Regions of RCWP . Priests, Deacons, Ordinands, and Candidates belong to a geographical region. Each region will have a Regional Administrator and a Regional Program Coordinator. Once the region is functioning well, a Bishop will be chosen by the members of that region in a democratic and fair process of election. See Addendum C, Election of Bishops . Affiliation with a region will generally be by geographic boundary. A person who physically relocates from one region to another may choose to remain affiliated with the first region for an indefinite period of time. The administration of a region will be carried out in a participatory rather than hierarchical fashion. Ideally, decisions affecting the region as a whole will be made by consensus after adequate and appropriate discussions have taken place among the members. Discussions may also take place within the region in relation to matters affecting the National/Continental or International Circles of RCWP. Regional decisions in these matters will then be taken to the National/Continental or International group by elected representatives using established lines of communication. 5.1 Regional Administrator The Regional Administrator will be responsible for the day-to-day functioning of the region. This person will be chosen by the group from among members of the region who are eligible. Eligibilityrequirements may vary from region to region because of the specific make-up of an area. It is assumed that the Regional Administrator will not only have administrative and managerial skills, but will also have the ability to work collaboratively and collegially with others, and will be familiar with the RCWP Vision of church and priesthood as well as with the Program of Preparation. 5.2 Regional Program Coordinator The Regional Program Coordinator will be chosen by the International Program Coordinator and members of the region from among the eligible members of the region. In some cases the RPC may also hold the position of Regional Administrator. Eligibility requirements will be set by each region but these requirements will be consistent with norms established by the International Program Coordinator in conjunction with theNational/Continental and International Leadership Circles. These norms will serve as guides in determining the degree of autonomy each Regional Program Coordinator has. International and National/Continental norms will take precedence. The Regional Program Coordinator will be responsible for accepting Candidates into the discernment stage of the program. This person will also be responsible for ensuring that a Candidate \'s background is consistent with Program Requirements. Individual differences in Candidate preparation will be noted by the Regional Program Coordinator and will be discussed, if necessary, with the International Program Coordinator or with other Regional Program Coordinators. The Regional Program Coordinator will have some discretion in this regardbased on the types of individual differences noted. The Regional Program Coordinator will be responsible for working with the Candidates in collaboration with the International Program Coordinator, with whom she will keep in regular contact about the Candidates she is mentoring, either by working directly with the Candidate(s) or by asking a particular Priest (or Deacon) to work with the Candidate(s). The Regional Program Coordinator will be responsible for signing off on an individual Candidate \'s program. Decisions regarding the Candidate \'s readiness for diaconate and priestly ordination will be made by a team consisting of the Regional Program Coordinator (or her/his delegate), the International Program Coordinator, the Regional Administrator, and the Bishop. Three out of four of these team members must agree that the Candidate has fulfilled all of the requirements for ordination and is deemed to be ready. The Regional Program Coordinator will maintain continuous communication with the National/Continental and International Leadership Circles so that continuity and consistency between programs are maintained. 5.3 Bishops Bishops will be ordained according to the Rite of the Roman Catholic Church to continue the line of Apostolic Succession. In collaboration with others concerned, Bishops will have a major role in deciding about Candidates’ readiness for ordination to the diaconate, priesthood, and episcopate. Within each region, theBishop \'s duties will be primarily pastoral and sacramental rather than administrative or managerial. In terms of governance, the bishop will work collegially with the Regional Administrator and the Regional Program Coordinator to assure that the goals and missions of the region are carried out. In communion with the Roman Catholic Church, the bishop is the point of unity among all RCWP members in that Bishop’s region. The bishop \'s authority will be sacramental and liturgical and will be clarified as the community grows. The region is administered by the Regional Administrator. Decisions about ordinations are always made in conjunction with the bishop. The pastoral duties of the regional Bishop will include not only working with the Priests, Deacons, and Ordinands in the region but will also include communication with any Candidates or lay people who wish to discuss items of pastoral concern. The Bishop will also engage in ecumenical conversation and dialogue with people of other faith traditions. 5.4 Priests Priests will be responsible for working with their individual faith communities and for carrying out their individual ministries in ways that reflect the rich heritage of Roman Catholic tradition and that shape a more inclusive, Christ-centred church in the twenty-first century. Rooted in a response to Jesus who called women and men to be disciples and equals in spreading the Good News, we are called to exemplify the changes we wish to see in the church. It is understood that each priest has her/his own ministry and the gifts of this ministry are to be recognized and honoured. A partial list of possible ministries includes: hospital chaplaincy;home church leadership; spirituality and retreat work; parish ministries; and online ministry. It is, nevertheless, imperative that each priest understand her /his ministry in relation to the Church as a whole, as well as in relation to the needs of his/her particular region. To that end, priests will: Work for justice and the human dignity of all persons. Model a leadership of service and empowerment in all pastoral practices and activities. Model unity in diversity. Live in solidarity with the marginalised and oppressed. Model inclusion and inter-dependence; Model non-violence and respect for persons; Model a reflective and contemplative spirituality; Live and walk humbly with God/de in the mystery of life. Priests will work together for the common good of the people of the region. The scope of this mandate will be discerned by each priest in communion with other priests and the bishop of that region. Communication is of the essence. Therefore, it is assumed that all priests will be in communication with each other and with their Bishop on a regular basis. Priests will also actively pursue communication opportunities with Deacons, Ordinands, and Candidates, as well as the non-ordained members of their faith communities. 5.5 Deacons Deacons in RCWP are always transitional deacons (i.e., they are on the way to priestly ordination). When they receive the Scriptures from the Bishop at diaconal ordination, they are exhorted to, Believe what they read, preach what they believe, and practice what they preach. Ideally, deacons will minister within and with the support of a faith community for at least six months before ordination to the priesthood. They, together with the priests of the region, are responsible for carrying out their individual ministries in inclusive, Christ-centred ways, as well as for exemplifying the changes that RCWP wishes to see in the church. 6. North American Circles 6.1 North American Leadership Circle The North American Leadership Circle is composed of the elected administrators of the North American regions. This circle will be elected for three year terms, renewable once. Each administrator elected by her region will be accountable to her region for decisions made as a member of this continental circle. Each circle member will consult with her region before making decisions on its behalf. Areas of decision-making will include, but not be limited to: the oversight of programs, policies, events, or other activities at the national/continental level; representation of RCWP North America to ministerial, reform, and other organizations, both within and outside of the Roman Catholic Church. Responsibilities will include regular reports from activities at the national/continental level to the regions. 6.2 North American Council of Vision - Keepers The North American Council of Vision-Keepers is composed of one member from each region, elected for a three-year, non-repeatable term. This body is tasked with keeping us accountable to our vision by keeping information flowing among regions as a sort of corresponding secretary function. It is to provide forums for ongoing spiritual reflection, theological analysis, pastoral strategies, etc., in living out priestly ministry and offering new models of discipleship in the church. Each member is responsible for preparing an annual regional report. The Council of Vision-Keepers will conduct, as a body, an annual review of the regional reports, evaluate practices, and make recommendations for the future to the North American Leadership Circle which will be shared with all members of the various regions. 7. International Circles (the following is accepted, pending international approval) 7.1 International Leadership Circle The International Leadership Circle is composed of five ordained members, not more than two from any given country, elected at large with not more than one from any given region, but with no bishops, since their sacramental and pastoral functions should be kept separate from administrative tasks. The five members of the circle are elected for three year terms, renewable once, with staggered elections for the sake of continuity. The area of decision-making shall encompass matters of world-wide concern (e.g. the RCWP model of ministry; qualifications for ordination; ongoing dialogue with church leaders to transform the current hierarchical model into a more open, participatory model; matters of fidelity to the Gospel and our Catholic heritage; ecumenical and interfaith interactions internationally; interactions with worldwide reform and justice organizations; protocols for international meetings). Ideally, decisions will be made by consensus but, failing a consensus, by vote with a simple majority needed. 7.2 International Council of Vision Keepers The International Council of Vision Keepers is composed of one member elected from each region. Bishops are eligible for election to this Council. Terms of office are two years, for up to three terms, with elections staggered for continuity. This body will advise the International Leadership Circle act as an accountability group between the International Leadership Circle and the Regional Circles from which the members are elected. This Council is encouraged to invite non-members to advise them on specific issues from time to time. This Council will also implement a conflict management team to arbitrate disputes and serve as a forum for appeal. 7.3 International Program Coordinator The International Program Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the Program of Preparation is delivered in a timely and consistent manner by the Regional Program Coordinators. The International Program Coordinator will be chosen by the International Leadership Circle in consultation with the International Advisory Council for a term of five years. IV. Periodic Review This entire document with the names of its signatories will be archived. It will be open to revision and updating one year from its date of ratification and thereafter every two to three years by an ad hoc Structures Committee made up of at least one member from each region.

Psychologists are required to keep these reports and the backup testing materials under lock and key both under states laws, and by the American Psychological Association Ethical Standards . They are also forbidden by law to share the report and/or any content or backup testing materials with any other individual in any way whatsoever without either: 1) the express written consent of the applicant (see RCWP Form); or, 2) a court order. In cases of a court order the psychologist limits the amount of information surrendered to the barest minimum required by the court order. RCWP Regional Administrators and/or Regional Program Coordinators who receive and view such reports will follow the same standards as those required by law for clinical psychologists, or the American Psychological Association Ethical Standards. When a Regional Program Administrator or Program Coordinator ceases to function in that office, all reports and copies will be surrendered to the new person(s) taking office. Program Administrators and/or Program Assistants will hold these records and all other records pertaining to an applicant through ordination to the ministerial priesthood. Once an individual is ordained to the ministerial priesthood in RCWP all documents regarding that individual will be surrendered by the Program Administrator and/or the Program Assistants to be held in a central location under lock and key. Ideal for this purpose would be a bank safety deposit box under RCWP \'s name. Whether this location is regional or national will be determined by the RCWP National Leadership Circle or successor body. Fees for safety deposit box rental(s) may be paid by RCWP. Records pertaining to any RCWP candidate or RCWP ordained woman or man may be copied and forwarded, with the written permission of the candidate, to whomever the candidate or ordained woman or man chooses, or under Order from a court. Under no circumstances will RCWP surrender original documents. RCWP documents pertaining to applicants, candidates, and ordained individuals are to be maintained until RCWP ceases to exist as an organization. Should RCWP cease to exist as an organization during the lifetime of the individual concerned, all records are to be returned to that individual. If RCWP ceases as an organization and should RCWP be unable to locate an individual after a search by a professional agency extending no more than five years, the documents will be shredded. Should RCWP cease to exist after the death of an individual, all records pertaining to that individual will be shredded.

Priests, Deacons, and Ordinands in a region are eligible to vote for the Bishop of that region. Postal votes will be sent to a Voting Supervisory Committee (VSC) consisting of three people who are not eligible to be bishops and who are persons known for their integrity. These three committee members are elected by the region in which the VSC resides. The VSC must be persons from a region other than the region electing a bishop. (For the first episcopal election, the VSC would have to be in Europe-West. Thereafter, the International Leadership Team will determine where the VSC is.) Postal votes are sent to the VSC and have the name of the sender on the envelope. The VSC checks the name on each envelope against the list of voters in the region, and then removes the vote inside and destroys the envelope. The vote itself would give no indication of who had sent it, but would simply name up to 3 persons voted for as bishop, the first name being the voter \'s first choice. The Voting Supervisory Committee then proceeds as follows: They call a meeting with two elected witnesses present, at which the votes are counted. The names of the episcopal nominees for each region, with the number of votes obtained from the region, are then sent from the VSC to the present Bishops. Each of these bishops, before she receives the results of the voting, will sign that she accepts the RCWP Mission Statement and Structures. Each of these Bishops then sends back secretly to the VSC the name of the one person she would choose to ordain as a bishop. The VSC informs the bishops about the results of the bishops’ voting. In case of a tie, the VSC organizes a second voting between the two highest contendants. Finally, the VCS informs the region/s concerned who has been elected for episcopal ordination. Only the name of the elected person is revealed, not the names of those in second or third place.",44);arrFiles[17]=new Array(18,"WomenPriest_History_June_2006/FinaPressReleaseOridinationsJune15th.pdf","2007-05-10","For Immediate Release","","","For immediate release From Roman Catholic Womenpriests www.romancatholicwomenpriests.org June 15, 2006 CONTACTS: EAST COAST Bridget Mary Meehan, Falls Church, VA: (703) 671-1972; (703) 283-2929 (cell) Eileen DiFranco, Philadelphia, PA: (215) 843-2225 Joan M.

The ordination will take place on a chartered boat that will depart from Pittsburgh, PA at 3:00pm (1500 hours) E.D.T., and will sail on the Three Rivers: the Allegheny, the Monongahela and the Ohio, Bishops Gisela Forster, Ida Raming and Patricia Fresen of Germany will preside. The women being ordained come from California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin and Kentucky. On Saturday, June 24, 2006 , the same three bishops will ordain four women in Europe. The ordination will take place on Lake Constance between Germany, Austria and Switzerland. One Swiss, one American and a German woman living in the USA will be ordained to the priesthood. Another American will be ordained a womandeacon. Just as, by her example, our foremother Rosa Parks led white America to the understanding that they must examine their conscience and recognize the sin of racial prejudice, the womenpriests and womendeacons lift up the issue of gender equality before the Roman Catholic Church. By offering a new paradigm of gender equality, womenpriests and womendeacons affirm that women, as well as men, can and do image Jesus Christ. The goal of Roman Catholic Womenpriests is to bring about the full equality of women in the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time we advocate a new model of priestly ministry based on union with the people with whom we minister. We desire neither a schism nor a break from the Roman Catholic Church, but instead are rooted in a response to Jesus who called women and men to be disciples and equals in living the Gospel. Bishops Gisela Forster, Ida Raming and Patricia Fresen were ordained by bishops in full Apostolic Succession. Bishops Forster, a philosopher, and Fresen, a theologian, were ordained secretly by Roman Catholic male bishops in order to avoid Vatican reprisal. Bishop Ida Raming, a renowned scholar, ordained to the episcopacy in June 2006, has done extensive research on the canon laws of the church. She is, together with Dr. Iris Mueller, who will also attend the ordination as priest, a foremother of the women \'s ordination movement. These historic ordinations challenge an unjust law that keeps women subordinate in the Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Womenpriests community affirms that the full equality of women in the church, including their inclusion in the priesthood, represents the voice of God in our time and is a gift to the entire church.

In our mission statement we clearly uphold the following: The goal of the group  RC Womenpriests  (Roman Catholic Womenpriests) is to bring about the full equality of women in the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time we are striving for a new model of Priestly Ministry. The movement  RC Womenpriests  does not perceive itself as a counter-current movement against the Roman Catholic Church. It wants neither a schism nor a break from the Roman Catholic Church, but rather wants to work positively within the Church. Womenpriests are leading the Catholic Church into a new era in which the identity of priest reflects the experiences of women, as representatives of the sacred. Womenpriests remind us that women are equal symbols of the holy. Patriarchy \'s dark lie that women are more responsible for the fall of humankind has been smashed as women in priestly ministry defy an unjust law that keeps women subordinate in the Catholic Church. Reclaiming our ancient spiritual heritage, womenpriests are shaping a more inclusive, Christ-centered church of equals in the twenty-first century. The Vatican is a patriarchal/hierarchical structure. The structure itself must be renewed through accountability and by creating a discipleship of equals. The present gap between clergy and laity needs to be eliminated. As ordained women, we must find a way to call forth the gifts of each member of the community. We All are church, not just some. We are offering a vision where All are welcome. Womenpriests and deacons must be the rainbow---we reflect the people we serve: married, celibate, domestic partners, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and transgendered. Roman Catholic Womenpriests walk in solidarity with our women apostles, prophets, teachers, virgins, widows, deacons, priests, abbesses, and bishops in the early church. We affirm the saintly women and men in our Catholic tradition whose words and lives give testimony to the vision of Jesus. They are our companions on the journey to a transformed Roman Catholic Church in which a discipleship of equals is a reality in all areas of the church \'s life. In 1976, the Pontifical Biblical Commission concluded that there is no biblical reason to prohibit women \'s ordination. Women and men are created in God \'s image and both may represent Christ as priests. In the image of God, God created humankind, male and female God created them. (Genesis 1:26-27) Jesus did not ordain anyone. Deacons, presbyters (elders) and bishops are not mentioned in the Gospels. Jesus had male and female disciples, who became apostles by being sent away (from Greek apo, away and stello, send) by being told to  Go and tell.  Jesus chose the Samaritan woman to announce the good news to her entire village. The Samaritans accepted Jesus as Messiah because of her testimony.    Within our faith tradition and Sacred Scripture we discover evidence of a history rich in the call and participation of women in all dimensions of ministry: Mary of Magdala, the first witness of the resurrection, was commissioned by Jesus to be the apostle to the apostles. (John 20:1-18) · Pope Hippolytus, who lived from 170 to 236 AD, addressed the role of women in early Christianity in which Jesus made a resurrection appearance to certain women such as Mary Magdalene, and  sends them out on the apostolic mission as the first gospel messengers.  (Brock, pp. 43-49):  Lest the female apostles doubt the angels, Christ himself came to them so that the women would be apostles of Christ and by their obedience rectify the sin of the ancient Eve . . . Christ showed himself to the (male) apostles and said to them: . . .. \'It is I who appeared to the women and I who wanted to send them to you as apostles. \'   Gregory of Antioch (d. 593) (Brock, 15), in Oratio in Mulieres Unguentiferas XI, PG 88, 1863-64:  Portrays Jesus as appearing to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary at the tomb and saying to them:  \'Be the first teachers to the teachers. So that Peter who denied me learns that I can also choose women as apostles. \'   Phoebe, the deacon, was praised by St. Paul for her leadership of the church of Cenchreae. (Romans 16:1-2) Mary, the mother of John Mark, led a congregation. (Acts 12:12) In Romans 16:7 St. Paul identifies Junia as a senior in the faith to himself and labels Junia and her husband, Andronicus, as  outstanding apostles . It is the only time that Paul refers to anyone other than The Twelve or himself as apostles. (St John Chrysostom, 4th century bishop, recognized Junia as a member of the apostolic circle. (The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 1, 11:555 Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1956) The Louvre possesses the mummy tag of an Egyptian woman, Artemidora, a Christian living between approximately 250 and 350 AD. The tag describes her as a  presbyter,  that is, priest. For photo, see Irvin, Calendars. A burial site for Epikto, on a Greek island, Thera, from the third or fourth century calls her a  presbytis  which means  priest or presbyter . (Eisen, pp. 123-4) In the Catacombs of Priscilla, Rome, the fresco  Fractio Panis  shows a group of women  conducting a Eucharistic banquet . Catholic theologian, Dorothy Irvin believes that the red background and location of this fresco indicates a date close to 100 A. D.  The slope of the shoulders, feminine postures and jaw lines,  ·  · · ·  ·  ·  ·    earlobes, breasts and upswept hair-do \'s with forehead curls attest to the femininity of all those seated around the table. (Irvin, Calendars) · A fifth century inscription carved on the sarcophagus of Leta Presbitera describes  Leta Presbitera  and states:  Of blessed memory Leta the Presbyter lived 40 years, 8 months, 9 days whose husband prepared her burial she departed in peace the day before the Ides of May.  Ides 15th ­1 = May 14th. (Irvin, Calendars) A Sicilian 4th or 5th century inscription calls Kale the  presbytis  or elder. (Irvin, Calendars) A fourth century floor mosaic covering the tomb of Guilia Runa is located in the cathedral at Annaba acknowledges:  Guilia Runa, woman priest . This cathedral was made famous by St. Augustine of Hippo. (Irvin, Calendars) In the catacomb of St. Januarus in Naples, Bitalia, a woman priest, is depicted attired in a red chasuble and celebrating the Eucharist. She has two cups on a white cloth in front of her, one is wine one is water to mix with the wine as is still done today. Above her are two open books with markers and on each of the four pages the name of an evangelist is written. (Irvin, Calendars) On the ceiling in the Chapel of the Veiling in the Catacomb of St. Priscilla, is a fresco, dated about 350 A.D. that depicts a woman deacon in the center vested in a dalmatic, her arms raised in the orans position for public worship. On the left side of the scene is a woman being ordained a priest by a bishop seated in a chair. She is vested in an alb, chasuble, and amice, and holding a gospel scroll. The woman on the right end of this fresco is wearing the same robe as the bishop on the left and is sitting in the same type of chair. She is turned toward the figures in the center and left, watching the woman deacon and priest.  These attributes , comments Dorothy Irvin,  indicate that she is thought of as a bishop, while the baby she is holding identifies her as Mary...Women \'s ordination, however, was based on succession from the apostles, including women such as Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mary from Magdala, Phoebe, Petronella, and others about whose status among the founders of the church there could be no doubt.  (Irvin, Calendars) Bishop Theodora, mother of Pope Paschal 1, is depicted in a group portrait standing next to St. Praxedis and the Blessed Virgin Mary in a mosaic in a side chapel of the church of St. Praxedis in Rome. (Morris, 4-6, Eisen 200-205). Theodora, about 820 A. D. and St. Praxedis who lived seven hundred years earlier are depicted as standing together, wearing their episcopal crosses. They witness to a conscious connection between women church office holders and Mary, Mother of Jesus. (Irvin, Calendars)  · ·  ·  ·  ·    ·   While the preponderance of evidence for female deacons is in the East,  scholars Kevin Madigan and Carolyn Osiek conclude in their scholarly book on women in Holy Orders that,   the evidence for women presbyters is greater in the west.  (Ordained Women in Early Church, p. 3.) Giorgio Otranto, director of the Institute of Classical and Christian Studies, University of Bari, Italy believes evidence of women priests is found in an epistle of Pope Gelasius I (late 5th c). In 494 AD Pope Gelasius wrote a letter to the bishops of three regions of southern Italy complaining about the practice of women presiding at the liturgy:  Nevertheless we have heard to our annoyance that divine affairs have come to such a low state that women are encouraged to officiate at the sacred altars, and to take part in all matters imputed to the offices of the male sex, to which they do not belong.  In summary Otranto concludes,  we may infer from an analysis of Gelasius \'s epistle that at the end of the fifth century, some women, having been ordained by bishops, were exercising a true and proper ministerial priesthood in a vast area of southern Italy, as well as perhaps in other unnamed regions of Italy.  (Otranto, Notes on the Female Priesthood in Antiquity, Section 2, http://www.womenpriests.org/traditio/otran_1.asp) The Irish Life of Brigit describes the episcopal ordination of St. Brigit of Kildare by Bishop Mel of Ardagh in fifth century Ireland. Brigit was consecrated by Mel, who,  being intoxicated with the grace of God there, did not know what he was reciting from his book, for he consecrated Brigit with the orders of a bishop.  (Davies , p.33.) The evidence in the Celtic Church indicates that women and men were equals in preaching the Gospel, presiding at Mass and at the other sacraments. In the sixth century, three Roman bishops at Tours wrote a letter to two Breton priests Lovocat and Cathern, expressing their outrage that women were allowed to preside at Eucharist.  You celebrate the divine sacrifice of the Mass with the assistance of women to whom you give the name conhospitae* ...While you distribute the eucharist, they take the chalice and administer the blood of Christ to the people... Renounce these abuses...! *(mixed houses or double monasteries where men and women lived together and raised their children in the service of Christ) (Ellis, pp.142-144) In double monasteries, men and women worked as equals. However, the overall authority within a double monastery often resided with an abbess. St. Brigit selected Conleth to help her administer Kildare, and they governed  their church by a mutual, happy alliance.  Meehan, p.14.) The tradition of a Christian seeking a spiritual guide, mentor, soul friend or anam cara (Gaelic) was a prevalent Celtic custom. Women as well as men served as spiritual friends. This custom eventually influenced the entire  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·    Church and led to the institutionalizing of private confession. These are stories of spiritual seekers coming to Saint Ita and Saint Samthann to reveal their sins and to receive forgiveness and guidance. (Meehan, p. 15) · In the tenth century, Bishop Atto of Vercelli wrote that because of the needs of the church, devout women were ordained to lead worship and to preside over the church. Church historian Gary Macy writes,  For over 1200 years the question of the validity of women \'s ordination remained at least an open question. Some popes, bishops and scholars accepted such ordinations as equal to those of men, others did not. (Gary Macy, Theological Studies, September, 2000. p. 3.) St. Therese of Lisieux, a Doctor of the Church, wanted to be a priest. She cut up her mother \'s wedding dress after her father \'s death to make a chasuble. (See Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux, The Story of a Soul.) St.Therese of Lisieux said, in 1897:  God is going to take me at an age when I would not have had the time to become a priest . . . If I could have been a priest, I would have been ordained at these June ordinations. So what did God do? So that I would not be disappointed, he let me be sick: in that way I could not have been there, and I would die before I could exercise my ministry.  Therese spoke those words to her sister, Celine Martin. Celine also testified (at the 1910 beatification diocesan tribunal) that  the sacrifice of not being able to be a priest was something Therese always felt deeply . . . (H)er regret . . . was caused by a real love of God, and inspired high hopes in her. The thought that St. Barbara had brought communion to St. Stanislaus Kostka thrilled her.  Therese said:  Why must I be a nun, and not an angel or a priest? Oh! What wonders shall we see in heaven! I have a feeling that those who desired to be priests on earth will be able to share in their honour of the priesthood in heaven.  In her Story of a Soul (Day, ed.,p. 187) Therese stated (in a prayer to Jesus):  If I were a priest, how lovingly I would carry you in my hands when you came down from heaven at my call; how lovingly I would bestow you upon people \'s souls. I want to enlighten people \'s minds as the prophets and doctors did. I feel the call of an Apostle. I would love to travel all over the world, making your name known and planting your cross on a heathen soil.  · Joan of Arc : From Heretic to Saint : Our Role Model of Holy Disobedience When St. Joan of Arc was asked whether she was subject to church authorities, she replied  yes, but our Lord must be served first.  (See Marina Warner, Joan of Arc: The Image of Female Heroism cited in Ellsberg, pp.136) There were holy women in religious orders who were at some point excommunicated (Bd. Mary McKillop, Bd. Anne Marie Javouhey and Bd. Theodore Guerin). Read their stories in Robert Ellsberg, Blessed Among All Women). Some women faced opposition and even persecution in their struggle to live their vocations,  -especially if this involved any kind of innovation - from  ·  ·    male authorities who  were only too eager to inform them that their visions or desires contradicted the will of God.  Some, like the Beguines, a new model of religious life in Medieval times were suppressed and effectively written out of history. Mary Ward, founder of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was imprisoned and condemned as a  heretic, schismatic and rebel of the Holy Church.  (Ellsberg, p.299.) Others like Angela Merici prevailed. But more than a few could share the motto applied to St. Angela Merici, founder of the Ursuline order:  A Woman Faced with Two Alternatives. She Saw and Chose the Third.  (Ellsberg, pp. 16-17) Prophetic women, like Catherine of Siena and Birgitta of Sweden confronted the corruption and abuses of the institutional church. Acting on her  authority as God \'s messenger  Birgitta insisted that the pope leave the comforts of Avignon and return to his proper seat in Rome.  One time, she denounced the pope as `a murderer of souls, worse than Lucifier, more unjust than Pilate, and more merciless than Judas.  The pope did not respond to her calls for reform of the church, but he did approve the Rule of her new religious order, The Brigettines, or Order of the Most Holy Savior. (Ellsberg, p. 135.) Like Joan of Arc, and these courageous women who endured condemnation and excommunication during their lifetimes by the church for their holy disobedience, Roman Catholic women priests will one day be affirmed as faithful daughters of the church who created new models of discipleship in 21st century. Let \'s hold up the holy women in the history of our church who were excommunicated and continued to shine like the stars in heaven as our role models. Like them, may we be witnesses to true discipleship. There is reason for hope that more contemporary church officials will follow the teaching of Cardinal Walter Kasper, who said,  Some situations oblige one to obey God and ones own conscience, rather than the leaders of the church. Indeed, one may even be obliged to accept excommunication, rather than act against one \'s conscience.  (CORPUS REPORTS Nov./Dec. 2005)  We must admit that there cannot be a participatory church with gender justice as long as the church retains the assumption that female humanity is ontologically different and secondary to male humanity.  (Brother Verghese Theckanath, in a speech to a National Conference of Religious Superiors in India, source: Union of Catholic Asian News, Jan. 30, 2006) We invite our Roman Catholic Church leaders to join us in an open, respectful dialogue so that together we may serve the church faithfully and lovingly. To this end we state in our constitution Article I 1. (to be found on our website: www.romancatholicwomenpriests.org) 1.The goal of the group:  RC Womenpriests  is to bring about the full equality of women in the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time we are striving for a new model of Priestly Ministry. When these goals are reached    and Can. 1024 CIC has been changed, the group  RC Womenpriests  will be dissolved. In her address:  Prophetic Obedience: The Experience and Vision of Roman Catholic Womenpriests to the Southeast Pennsylvania Women \'s Ordination Conference in March, 2005, Bishop Patricia Fresen, D.Th said:  Now we in the Church are on another  \'long walk to freedom \', this time freedom from sexism, from unjust discrimination against women in the church, freedom from oppression by the privileged clerical caste in the church. Once again, we need to stand together in protest, to break the unjust laws because we cannot wait forever, and we need, at least at the beginning, to move into the structures that exist and change them  Womenpriests remind us that women are equal symbols of the holy and therefore should preside at the celebration of the sacraments. Like Rosa Parks, whose refusal to sit in the back of the bus ignited the civil rights movement, Roman Catholic womenpriests are leading the Catholic church into a new age of equality for women in the church. Like Jesus, inclusivity will be our hallmark as we welcome all to God \'s table of plenty at the Banquet of love. Inspired by our ancient sisters who have gone before us as apostles, deacons, priests, bishops and leaders in the church, we embrace our call to live Christ \'s vision of Gospel equality in the 21st century.    Suggested Bibliography: Brock Ann Graham, Mary Magdalene, the First Apostle The Struggle for Authority, 2003 (quotes Hippolytus (DeCantico 24-26, CSCO 264) pp. 43-49) Davies, Oliver (ed), Celtic Spirituality, New York: Paulist, 1999.

PROPHETIC OBEDIENCE: THE EXPERIENCE AND VISION OF R.C. WOMENPRIESTS Patricia Fresen, D.Th. 1. Introduction: It is really exciting for me to be here as SEPA WOC celebrates its 30th anniversary. Thirty years of taking a stand for justice and equality between women and men in our Church, of striving to abolish all forms of domination and discrimination in the Catholic Church, advocating inclusive Church practices, and supporting and affirming women \'s talents, gifts and calls to ministry. Congratulations! Here in the North American continent and in Europe, many groups have come together in the last 20 – 30 years, groups working towards church reform from within, groups such as WOC and WOW and Call to Action. In Europe, there are groups in Austria, Germany, France, Spain, and Holland that I know of and there are probably similar movements in other European countries as well. It was in fact out of one of these initiatives, Kirche von unten , in Austria and Germany that the so-called Danube Ordination Movement began. 2. The 2002 ordinations on the Danube One of the aims of Kirche von unten was to take a stand for women \'s rights within the Church, including the right to be ordained. Gertrud May, a woman of 83 who lives in Munich and whom I know and respect, was active within Kirche von unten and she decided to bring together the two women whom she foresaw could become \'movers and shakers \': Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger of Austria and Dr Gisela Forster of Germany. In 1998 Gertrud held a salon in her apartment to which she invited women whom she knew were particularly interested in moving towards women \'s ordination. Gisela and Christine met that evening and that was indeed when things started happening. Groups were formed and they began preparing directly for ordination. Those who needed more theology enrolled at various universities for further study, a program of preparation for ordination was created and the women met regularly in the three groups to prepare themselves and plan for their ordination and future priestly ministry. Their big question was always: where will we find a bishop brave enough to ordain us? They knew some bishops and priests who supported women \'s ordination, but one with the courage to ordain women publicly would be very hard to find. Well, they found a bishop: Romulo Braschi of Argentina. Of the fourteen women who had been in the groups, seven remained to the end. The ordination of the first seven R.C. Womenpriests took place on 29 June 2002 on the ship \'Passau \' on the river Danube. It was a tremendous breakthrough for justice and for claiming the equality of women with men in the RC Church. The media took up the story and it sent ripples all around the world and brought hope to many of us. Photographs and articles appeared in newspapers and journals in many countries and dozens of television programs were made about the ordination. The world was aware that something of the utmost importance had taken place. That the Vatican took this very seriously is shown by the subsequent excommunication of the seven women, on 27 January 2003, signed by 12 cardinals and archbishops. If it had been of no consequence, the Vatican would have simply ignored it. Two of the seven womenpriests, Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger and Gisela Forster, were later ordained as bishops by several (male) bishops whose identities must be protected. The reason for ordaining women as bishops was really only so that they in turn can ordain priests, not to get locked into the hierarchical structures of the church. I believe that initiatives, such as WOC, WOW, CTA, Kirche von unten and Wir sind Kirche have emerged out of the great paradigm-shift of our times, as we move away from dualism, hierarchy and patriarchy. We, the ordained women in Austria and Germany, and initiatives such as WOC, are part of this paradigm-shift and, whether we know it or not, we are doing our bit to move it along. 3. Prophetic Obedience It is a pity that the official Roman Catholic church clings largely to the values and the worldview of many centuries ago and still organizes itself as a feudal society. It is a pity that the Roman Catholic church is still influenced by the Greco-Roman and later the Augustinian view of women, regarding them as intrinsically inferior to men. This worldview is reflected in Canon Law and in Church structures. In the older worldview, obedience was understood as doing what you were told by those in authority. But obedience is not doing what you are told by someone else, unless you are a child. Obedience for adults, as we know, comes from the Latin ob-audire, attentive listening: • listening in the first place to myself, my own formed conscience, my values, my sense of what is right and wrong, listening to my heart; • attentive listening to the signs of the times, to what is going on in the world and the church, to new levels of awareness and new developments within humanity • listening, individually and together, to the Spirit, who we believe is always moving and awakening (yes, calling) us to new levels of awareness. As Isaiah says so often: Listen to me, pay attention and your soul will live. (e.g. is. 55:3) Why is this obedience called prophetic ? I think it is because the prophets in the Hebrew Scriptures and in the New Testament and our contemporary prophets like Oscar Romero, Dorothy Day and Nelson Mandela, and yes, Gisela Forster and Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger were and are women and men who \'listened to a different drum \'. They became aware of what was wrong within their own society and they felt impelled to take a stand, to speak out, to name what was wrong. And, as we know, those in power usually do not want to hear what the prophets say, because it means giving up their positions of privilege and power, or at least sharing privilege and power, and once these are shared the entire system changes from being dualistic to being one in which the equality, dignity and freedom of all are respected. In summary: • Prophetic obedience often involves taking a stand for justice in the face of injustice or discrimination. • In prophetic obedience, our understanding of authority and of obedience changes. The role of leadership is not to give orders but to call the community to be about what they have said they are about, challenging them to be who they are. Prophetic obedience leads us towards the recognition of equality: a „discipleship of equals, rather than the older \'family \' model (Father, Mother, superior-subject) still often found in the Church. In prophetic obedience, we are moving away from this older model towards co-authority, co-obedience and interdependence. • We each live out of our personal centre, our inner authority but at the same time within the framework of the vision we hold in common. • Prophetic obedience may at times require disobedience to an unjust law for the sake of God \'s reign (In Europe we are often called the \'contra legem \' group, because our way is to break what we regard as an unjust law). 4. Learning prophetic obedience in South Africa I learnt about prophetic obedience in SA, our great role model being Nelson Mandela. There are many parallels between racism and sexism. Both racism and sexism attempt to give all the power and privilege to one group of people to the exclusion of the other group. Both racism and sexism are horrendous systems of injustice. Once one becomes aware of the injustice within these systems, one cannot go back. We learnt, in the apartheid years, that sometimes the best or even the only possible way to change an unjust law is to break it. But one person alone cannot achieve this. It takes the voice and the protest of a group, a community, who stand together in the face of injustice. And when the previously-excluded group moves into the structures set up by the group that was in power, the structures change. Today, in this post-apartheid time, what we have is a transformed South Africa, a rainbow nation, and there is no comparison with the divided apartheid society in which I grew up. It is not perfect ... there are still many problems, but the transformation has truly begun and we live and work together in a way that most South Africans would never have believed possible. The system of apartheid, of racial discrimination, has gone from our law and very largely from South African society. Now we in the Church are on another \'long walk to freedom \', this time freedom from sexism, from unjust discrimination against women in the church, freedom from oppression by the privileged clerical caste in the church. Once again, we need to stand together in protest, to break the unjust laws because we cannot wait forever, and we need, at least at the beginning, to move into the structures that exist and change them. I never dreamt that my experience of the breaking-down of racism in South Africa would in part lead me to where I am today: an ordained Roman Catholic woman whose journey towards ordination has led me to stand up against unjust church laws and join the community of womenpriests in Germany-Austria -and who is standing here today talking about prophetic obedience! 6. My journey towards ordination I studied theology in Rome in the 1980 \'s. Often I was the only woman in the class and the men present were nearly all seminarians or priests. As I was invited to one ordination after the other of my classmates, the desire for ordination began to make itself felt within me, but (like so many other women) I always suppressed it, since it was unthinkable. But it kept coming back, often at the most unexpected moments. Back in South Africa, I was invited to join the staff of our national seminary in Pretoria, where I taught part of the systematic theology, homiletics and spirituality for seven years. During these years at the seminary, there were many instances when I was excluded. I was constantly discriminated against ... it happened almost without people thinking. I also gave retreats in various parts of the country and found that women were often the worst in discriminating against me. The injustice of it was constantly brought home to me, but I really thought that for me it was too late to think about ordination. I decided that what I could do was to prepare the way for women \'s ordination, which I was convinced would come some time in the not-too-distant future. Then in 2002 I read an article about Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger and Gisela Forster: that they were planning to be ordained as RC priests on 29 June. I remember well the flame of excitement that leapt up inside me as I read this. After that things fell into place in the most amazing way: is this „call? I went to a conference in Germany in August and managed to arrange a meeting with Gisela and Christine. It was a meeting that changed my life. They invited me to be ordained. Back home in South Africa, I began to talk to people who knew me well and found a great deal of support and encouragement from them, but there was also much fear about the consequences. There was no time to gather a \'discernment group \' around me, as I had hoped, or to discuss my ordination with leadership. I was ordained during the Women \'s Synod in Barcelona in August 2003 by the two bishops, Christine and Gisela. I am sad that my Dominican Congregation, which is a pontifical congregation and has many elderly sisters in it, did not feel they could officially support my ordination after the fact. Leadership did not think they could jeopardize the lives of so many who had been members of this Congregation for so long. I understood this – but nevertheless I was most grateful for the support of NCAN and others. I had hoped our Congregation would support my ordination, because of the stand for justice we took in the apartheid years and also because we do stand for women \'s rights and have statements to this effect in our constitutions and guidelines. There was sadness on both sides and they treated me well, but I did have to face the option of either repenting, repudiating my ordination and staying in the congregation, or leaving and living as an ordained womanpriest. There was within me a deep conviction that being ordained was right for me and I needed to do it, whatever the cost, if it was humanly possible. Gisela, Christine and others made it possible for me to live in Germany and they offered me the job of coordinating the program of preparation for ordination. And I have not been excommunicated, for whatever reason. It has turned out to be humanly possible and here I am ... a womanpriest but no longer a Dominican, still struggling to learn German properly, in a different hemisphere, a different culture, part of a different community far from home… crazy, really, but perhaps one needs to be a little crazy to live prophetic obedience! 7. The ordinations continue: 2004 and 2005 I thought that coordinating our program would be not too much work. There were seven ordained in 2002. In 2003 there were only a handful of women were in the program. But in the last two years, the enquiries and applications were already starting to roll in and since then, the numbers have snowballed. There are presently over 50 women working their way through our program to prepare for priestly ministry. As you may know, there was another memorable ordination ceremony on a ship \'Sissi \' on the Danube last year, in June 2004. In the presence of 120 guests, six women were ordained deacons: two from the USA, one from Canada, one from Switzerland, one from Latvia, and one from France. All of them will be ordained priests this year and next year. This was only the second public ordination and we asked the women to come to Europe for it. However, now that the numbers have grown so enormously, particularly in the USA, we are willing to come to the North American continent for an ordination ceremony this year, and possibly in future years as well. Ten women will be ordained this year, five as priests and five as deacons. The Frenchwoman will be ordained to the priesthood on 2 July near Lyons, on a ship on the Saone. This will be the first R.C. Ordination in France: a significant church event. On 25 July, we plan a big ordination ceremony on the St Lawrence river, in international waters, embarking from Gananoque in Canada. This will be the largest group of ordinands so far: probably there will be nine women ordained, four of them as priests and five as deacons. It will be the first ordination of Roman Catholic women in the United States and Canada and as such will be an epoch-making event. We hope to see many of you there. You can still book through Dr Judith Johnson at judyajohnson@earthlink.net 7.1 Symbolism of ship and water We like the rich symbolism of a ship for our ordinations: a ship or boat was a very early symbol of the church; Jesus often preached from a boat and some of his first disciples were fishermen; we too are learning how to fish, how to weather storms, we learn not to give up when we have laboured all night with no result ... The water is also rich in symbolism, as source of life, as alive, flowing, life-giving, moving, dynamic, often unstable and sometimes dangerous. And it \'s part of prophetic obedience to find that we \'re all in the same boat! 8. \'Catacomb \' ordinations: Some women really cannot risk a public ordination: they hold responsible positions in their diocese or at a Catholic university and they risk losing their jobs if they are publicly ordained. In the tradition of the very early Church, we are willing to go into hiding when necessary. Only a few carefully-selected people will be at these Catacomb ordinations and the ordinands will have to see how their priestly ministry will take shape and when they can \'come out of the sacristy \'. This differs from one woman to another, according to the circumstances of each, but I can tell you that we are planning 3 or 4 \'catacomb \' ordinations this year. 9. Ordinations in 2006 For next year, we are definitely planning an ordination on a ship on one of the lakes in Switzerland. More than likely, there will also be an ordination in the United States, since five deacons will be ordained this year but we haven \'t planned this yet. We are aware, though, that the there needs to be a priestly ordination for this year \'s deacons and in 2006 there will be a new group of deacons, probably larger than this year \'s group. 9. WHY ORDAIN? OUR VISION AS R.C. WOMENPRIESTS: Why not build up a different model of church and simply bless ministries? Since the dualistic system of clerics and laity in the church has become corrupted by the abuse of power, why ordain women to become part of that system? The response to this question is in fact an outline of the vision of our group, the RC Womenpriests: 1.Because we are in a transitional time:we need to claim for women their equal right with men to be ordained. And we need to do this \'contra legem \', to break an unjust law and yet to remain firmly within the church. (Excommunication does not put one outside the church: it is punishment which forbids one to participate in the sacraments.) If, in this initial transitional stage we do not ordain women, but merely bless the ministries of everyone, we will do nothing towards claiming equal rights for women in the church. And I believe that no-one would take us seriously. We would be seen as just another sect. We need to take clear action for the equal right of women to be ordained, to break down the sexism which is so rampant in our church structures. One day in the future, perhaps in the next generation or two, there may well be a return to the practice in the very early church, when there was no ordination of priests: people in the community took turns in leading the Eucharist, often depending on whose home they were meeting in. For now, I believe strongly that we need to break the unjust law which excludes women from ordination. We must not try to jump over this stage of claiming justice, but allow the process to evolve organically. Later there may well come a time when ordination can be done away with, and ministries, including the ministry of leadership, will nourish the life of the community without ordaining some ... but right now, it is vitally important to ordain women and thus claim for them their right as human beings and as Roman Catholics, to be ordained. Just as the Black people of SA needed to move into the structures set up by the Whites so as to claim their equal rights as citizens of the country, so we women need to move into the structures in the church so as to claim our right to be there. In both cases, the structures are being changed by the presence of the formerly excluded group. 2. We believe we need to reform the church structures from within. By staying outside of official church structures, we will achieve nothing. We are already excluded and this would mean accepting our exclusion. 3. By ordaining women, we are re-imagining, re-structuring, re-shaping the priesthood and therefore the church: We believe that it is possible to live and build upa new model of priesthood: that in itself would bring amount to a new model of church. These are some of the ways in which we strive to avoid the trap of dualism and clericalism: • Among the womenpriests,priesthood is not part of a power structure. We try to see and live it as a ministry, of leadership certainly but not of domination or exclusion. We do not use the words clerics and laity. In Europe, where we have the Core Group (Praesidium) because that is where it started, everyone is a member: no-one is excluded. Ordination gives one a different function but not more power. When we have a meeting, the bishops and priests do not have more say than anyone else, although Gisela and Christine do lead the meeting. Leadership is important, but in a model of shared power: Schüssler-Fiorenza \'s well-known, discipleship of equals. • We recognize the gifts and talents and responsibility of each person in adifferentiation of ministries and live and work together as a community. •We do not have obligatory celibacy, in fact we do not link celibacy and priesthood. Our ordained women may be married or single, hetero- or homosexual, some are grandmothers, a few are divorced and have had their marriages annulled: we are in fact a cross-section of the Christian community in our lifestyles. •We do not promise obedience to the bishop(s). Among the men, obedience to the bishop is an essential part of the hierarchical structure within the church. Rather we try to live prophetic obedience: to find and walk together the \'holy road \' along which we trust the Spirit is leading us. A symbol of this attitude is that the bishops prefer it, during an ordination, if the layout can be such that the candidates do not kneel or prostrate in front of them but rather in front of the altar. The bishops and priests sit to the side if it is logistically possible. •We areworker-priests: we are financially independent of the Church and each earn our money in some other way. Financial dependence of priests on their bishop or their Order is a very strong aspect of the power-structure in the hierarchical church. •We use no titles: we have no equivalent to \'Father \' once we are ordained, we do not even refer to ourselves or one another as \'Reverend \'. We do not think we are more reverend than anyone else. Even our two bishops are simply referred to as Christine and Gisela. •Vestments, chalices, stoles are simple, rather than elaborate or expensive. The bishops do not wear the mitre or carry a crozier, which would make them look taller and more important than everyone else. Mitres, tiaras and elaborate vestments were for kings and emperors and from the time of Constantine, popes and prelates copied this, as power became more and more linked to the clerical caste. •We have a different model of celebrating Eucharist. (This is not unique to us: there are several groups we know of who have a similar vision to ours, e.g. the community at Nijmegen university in Holland). We sit in a circle, which may be several layers deep. The bishops and priests sit among the others, not up front in special chairs. The table is in the centre. Everyone present is invited to wear one of our silk stoles, as a sign of the priesthood of the baptized. The presider welcomes everyone and opens the gathering. Someone says the prayer of the day, others do the readings, someone else gives the homily or more often, it is shared in some way. People prepare the altar and carry up the gifts. The Eucharistic prayer is often prayed by everyone present, either all together or with different people reading different sections. The words of institution are said by all present. Communion is distributed by the ministers (bishops, priests, deacons, ministers of the Eucharist) to stress their function of service. The community celebrates the whole Eucharist together, but there is a leader, who may be a man or a woman. We use the words and the rite of Eucharist as specified in the R.C. Church. •We are consciously and deliberately ecumenical: we concelebrate with priests and ministers, women and men, of other traditions, especially with Old Catholics, Lutherans and Episcopalians and we invite them to our ceremonies and celebrations. We are also open to discussions with them on issues of interest to us all. 9.We are aware however, of the danger of buying into, becoming part of, the hierarchical (dualistic) structures, vision and system by becoming members of the clergy. As in the new South Africa, what we have now in the church with ordained women, is not perfect. We need to be very careful that we do not in fact fall into the trap of taking on the old system, just as in South Africa, people need to be very careful that they do not build up another system of racial oppression, this time of Blacks oppressing Whites. 10. Respecting many models: We also recognize that there are many possible different models of priesthood and of church and many ways of moving towards justice and equality. While we move forward along our path, we respect the different paths along which others are walking. Hopefully we can walk along together, encouraging one another, perhaps even singing together as we walk, and sharing sustenance along the way. Remembering the maxim \'divide et impera \', we need to avoid small-minded bickering and jealousies among ourselves in our different communities and life-paths but rather rejoice that we all participate in the larger vision, the call to which we are all responding, in our various ways. 11. Our Program of Preparation for ordination There are now 56 women preparing for ordination in our program: it has grown beyond anything we ever dreamt of. 18 of these 56 women are in Europe: there are two groups in Germany and Austria, and one woman each from France, Switzerland, Holland, Latvia and Sweden. The other 38 women are in the USA and Canada. Ten of these women will be ordained this year, five as priests and five to the diaconate. Hardly a week goes by without someone writing to enquire. 11.1 The question of call: People often talk rather easily, even glibly, about call: they write to me; I feel called to priesthood, I have felt called since I was a child. What do we mean when we say this? I often get rather nervous when someone speaks about her/his \'call \' as though it is something extraordinary or esoteric, or as though one has a hotline to God. We are, indeed, all called to holiness (LG ch. 1) which means we are all called to strive for truth, justice and love in our lives and to find a life-path in which we can best do this. I believe that God probably gives us quite a lot of latitude here: our calling is not restricted to just one life-path. But our gifts, talents of mind, heart, spirit, personality and our life-history fit us for some paths more than for others. What we mean when we talk about being called is, perhaps, is a combination of some or all of the following: • An inner attraction: I would like to do that, it seems good or right for me and I am at peace when I consider it, even in the face of difficulties, problems and even dangers. • This inner attraction stays with me and tends to flare up into my consciousness now and then, often at the most unexpected moments. • There may however be a struggle within me as I consider the demands, the price I must pay, the difficulties or risks involved and I may try to run away from the whole idea, or at least postpone it. • Nevertheless I believe I have the necessary gifts and talents to do it reasonably well, especially the quality of compassion and a readiness for pastoral involvement. • Friends and community confirm this by saying they think I should or could do it, although they may be fearful of the risks involved. • My personal history and life-situation have brought me to this moment, this place in my life and I feel compelled to consider ordination. • I do not see myself as better or holier than others, nor do I think that responding to my \'call \' will make me so. • We do not in fact believe that \'call \' is only for priests or nuns. We believe that call, as I have described it, unfolds within the life of every Christian, every person. We are each called to be the best we can be, to make some contribution to humanity, to our own society, to the church. We each have something unique to offer, some enrichment to bring and we in turn are enriched by others. That is the essence of call. If you have an inner \'pull \', an inner attraction towards priestly ministry that keeps recurring, if you have done some theology or are willing to do so, if you have the quality of compassion and believe you could happy and effective if your were pastorally involved with people as an ordained woman - or you already are so involved - and if you are strong enough to face the consequences of being ordained - then you could write an email to me at fresen@forestfactory.de or find us on the internet at www.virtuelle-dioezese.de 11.2 Program of Preparation for Ordination: Our program of preparation for ordination is not, of course, the full program of theology which one needs before ordination. We expect the women in our program to study theology somewhere else: at a university or college or seminary. Many women come to us having already completed an excellent program of theology. Our program is one which helps people become aware of and develop their spirituality as priests, and also integrates them into our community of womenpriests. The aspects of priesthood which we restructure are built into the program. It consists of ten units, each of which has a personal aspect and a theological or spiritual section. Some of these sections are very pastorally based. If you come to us with a good theological background, we do not expect you to complete all ten units: this you discuss with me and we decide together what you need. We ask each woman in the program to find someone to accompany her on her journey towards priesthood. For women in the USA and Canada, this is a distance-learning program, so the practical aspects of liturgy and sacraments have to be done locally and we will help you find a priest who is willing to initiate you into liturgical and sacramental celebration. After someone has been in the program for between one and three years (depending on age, theological and spiritual background, pastoral involvement, readiness - and if she and we both have a sense that she \'fits in \' with our vision and lifestyle) she can be ordained a deacon and six months to a year later, she will be ordained a priest. 12. Plans for the future Since the group is growing so quickly and so many women are asking to join in our program of preparation for ordination, we are having to reshape and restructure ourselves as we go along. Our plans for the future include: • Ordinations every year to keep up with the growing number of women who are in our program and who are in fact ready. Many of them come theologically, pastorally, and spiritually very well qualified and as they move through the program thy become integrated into our womenpriests \' community and develop their spirituality as womenpriests. • Restructuring our program so as to be more effective for distance learning • Having a team co-ordinate the program • Possibly running a summer-school each year in the USA • Getting our Draft Constitutions translated and finalized • Possibly broadening the program to include the southern continents: southern Africa, Australia, Latin America ... But up to now, we have never done any advertising: people simply come to us. Most of them have met someone in the program, or they find us on the internet, or they have seen a television program or documentary about us. 13. Conclusion We are called, in the first place, as a community: we are Church, the people of God, we are a community called to follow Jesus in the \'discipleship of equals \'. Within that community, each of us lives within a smaller community within which we find our place and make our contribution. We discover then, usually to our amazement, that the whole is indeed much more than simply the sum of the parts. As the Grail says, together we are genius. I believe we are all called in some way, as a community and as individuals within that community, to live or at least to support, prophetic obedience. 12 March 2005 © Roman Catholic Womenpriests, 2007",36);arrFiles[20]=new Array(21,"WomenPriest_History_June_2006/BriefbioOrdinandsPittsburgh.pdf","2007-05-10","Cheryl Bristol, lesbian by birth, Catholic by choice, has felt called to ministry for 25 years","","","Roman Catholic Womenpriests The following women will be ordained priests and deacons in Pittsburgh on July 31, 2006: Priests: Eileen McCafferty DiFranco, M.A.Ed., RN, is a writer, a registered nurse that works at a busy urban high school and teaches nursing part time at a local university.

In our mission statement we clearly uphold the following: The goal of the group  RC Womenpriests  (Roman Catholic Womenpriests) is to bring about the full equality of women in the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time we are striving for a new model of Priestly Ministry. The movement  RC Womenpriests  does not perceive itself as a counter-current movement against the Roman Catholic Church. It wants neither a schism nor a break from the Roman Catholic Church, but rather wants to work positively within the Church. Womenpriests are leading the Catholic Church into a new era in which the identity of priest reflects the experiences of women, as representatives of the sacred. Womenpriests remind us that women are equal symbols of the holy. Patriarchy \'s dark lie that women are more responsible for the fall of humankind has been smashed as women in priestly ministry defy an unjust law that keeps women subordinate in the Catholic Church. Reclaiming our ancient spiritual heritage, womenpriests are shaping a more inclusive, Christ-centered church of equals in the twenty-first century. The Vatican is a patriarchal/hierarchical structure. The structure itself must be renewed through accountability and by creating a discipleship of equals. The present gap between clergy and laity needs to be eliminated. As ordained women, we must find a way to call forth the gifts of each member of the community. We All are church, not just some. We are offering a vision where All are welcome. Womenpriests and deacons must be the rainbow---we reflect the people we serve: married, celibate, domestic partners, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and transgendered. Roman Catholic Womenpriests walk in solidarity with our women apostles, prophets, teachers, virgins, widows, deacons, priests, abbesses, and bishops in the early church. We affirm the saintly women and men in our Catholic tradition whose words and lives give testimony to the vision of Jesus. They are our companions on the journey to a transformed Roman Catholic Church in which a discipleship of equals is a reality in all areas of the church \'s life. In 1976, the Pontifical Biblical Commission concluded that there is no biblical reason to prohibit women \'s ordination. Women and men are created in God \'s image and both may represent Christ as priests. In the image of God, God created humankind, male and female God created them. (Genesis 1:26-27) Jesus did not ordain anyone. Deacons, presbyters (elders) and bishops are not mentioned in the Gospels. Jesus had male and female disciples, who became apostles by being sent away (from Greek apo, away and stello, send) by being told to  Go and tell.  Jesus chose the Samaritan woman to announce the good news to her entire village. The Samaritans accepted Jesus as Messiah because of her testimony.    Within our faith tradition and Sacred Scripture we discover evidence of a history rich in the call and participation of women in all dimensions of ministry: Mary of Magdala, the first witness of the resurrection, was commissioned by Jesus to be the apostle to the apostles. (John 20:1-18) · Pope Hippolytus, who lived from 170 to 236 AD, addressed the role of women in early Christianity in which Jesus made a resurrection appearance to certain women such as Mary Magdalene, and  sends them out on the apostolic mission as the first gospel messengers.  (Brock, pp. 43-49):  Lest the female apostles doubt the angels, Christ himself came to them so that the women would be apostles of Christ and by their obedience rectify the sin of the ancient Eve . . . Christ showed himself to the (male) apostles and said to them: . . .. \'It is I who appeared to the women and I who wanted to send them to you as apostles. \'   Gregory of Antioch (d. 593) (Brock, 15), in Oratio in Mulieres Unguentiferas XI, PG 88, 1863-64:  Portrays Jesus as appearing to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary at the tomb and saying to them:  \'Be the first teachers to the teachers. So that Peter who denied me learns that I can also choose women as apostles. \'   Phoebe, the deacon, was praised by St. Paul for her leadership of the church of Cenchreae. (Romans 16:1-2) Mary, the mother of John Mark, led a congregation. (Acts 12:12) In Romans 16:7 St. Paul identifies Junia as a senior in the faith to himself and labels Junia and her husband, Andronicus, as  outstanding apostles . It is the only time that Paul refers to anyone other than The Twelve or himself as apostles. (St John Chrysostom, 4th century bishop, recognized Junia as a member of the apostolic circle. (The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 1, 11:555 Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1956) The Louvre possesses the mummy tag of an Egyptian woman, Artemidora, a Christian living between approximately 250 and 350 AD. The tag describes her as a  presbyter,  that is, priest. For photo, see Irvin, Calendars. A burial site for Epikto, on a Greek island, Thera, from the third or fourth century calls her a  presbytis  which means  priest or presbyter . (Eisen, pp. 123-4) In the Catacombs of Priscilla, Rome, the fresco  Fractio Panis  shows a group of women  conducting a Eucharistic banquet . Catholic theologian, Dorothy Irvin believes that the red background and location of this fresco indicates a date close to 100 A. D.  The slope of the shoulders, feminine postures and jaw lines,  ·  · · ·  ·  ·  ·    earlobes, breasts and upswept hair-do \'s with forehead curls attest to the femininity of all those seated around the table. (Irvin, Calendars) · A fifth century inscription carved on the sarcophagus of Leta Presbitera describes  Leta Presbitera  and states:  Of blessed memory Leta the Presbyter lived 40 years, 8 months, 9 days whose husband prepared her burial she departed in peace the day before the Ides of May.  Ides 15th ­1 = May 14th. (Irvin, Calendars) A Sicilian 4th or 5th century inscription calls Kale the  presbytis  or elder. (Irvin, Calendars) A fourth century floor mosaic covering the tomb of Guilia Runa is located in the cathedral at Annaba acknowledges:  Guilia Runa, woman priest . This cathedral was made famous by St. Augustine of Hippo. (Irvin, Calendars) In the catacomb of St. Januarus in Naples, Bitalia, a woman priest, is depicted attired in a red chasuble and celebrating the Eucharist. She has two cups on a white cloth in front of her, one is wine one is water to mix with the wine as is still done today. Above her are two open books with markers and on each of the four pages the name of an evangelist is written. (Irvin, Calendars) On the ceiling in the Chapel of the Veiling in the Catacomb of St. Priscilla, is a fresco, dated about 350 A.D. that depicts a woman deacon in the center vested in a dalmatic, her arms raised in the orans position for public worship. On the left side of the scene is a woman being ordained a priest by a bishop seated in a chair. She is vested in an alb, chasuble, and amice, and holding a gospel scroll. The woman on the right end of this fresco is wearing the same robe as the bishop on the left and is sitting in the same type of chair. She is turned toward the figures in the center and left, watching the woman deacon and priest.  These attributes , comments Dorothy Irvin,  indicate that she is thought of as a bishop, while the baby she is holding identifies her as Mary...Women \'s ordination, however, was based on succession from the apostles, including women such as Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mary from Magdala, Phoebe, Petronella, and others about whose status among the founders of the church there could be no doubt.  (Irvin, Calendars) Bishop Theodora, mother of Pope Paschal 1, is depicted in a group portrait standing next to St. Praxedis and the Blessed Virgin Mary in a mosaic in a side chapel of the church of St. Praxedis in Rome. (Morris, 4-6, Eisen 200-205). Theodora, about 820 A. D. and St. Praxedis who lived seven hundred years earlier are depicted as standing together, wearing their episcopal crosses. They witness to a conscious connection between women church office holders and Mary, Mother of Jesus. (Irvin, Calendars)  · ·  ·  ·  ·    ·   While the preponderance of evidence for female deacons is in the East,  scholars Kevin Madigan and Carolyn Osiek conclude in their scholarly book on women in Holy Orders that,   the evidence for women presbyters is greater in the west.  (Ordained Women in Early Church, p. 3.) Giorgio Otranto, director of the Institute of Classical and Christian Studies, University of Bari, Italy believes evidence of women priests is found in an epistle of Pope Gelasius I (late 5th c). In 494 AD Pope Gelasius wrote a letter to the bishops of three regions of southern Italy complaining about the practice of women presiding at the liturgy:  Nevertheless we have heard to our annoyance that divine affairs have come to such a low state that women are encouraged to officiate at the sacred altars, and to take part in all matters imputed to the offices of the male sex, to which they do not belong.  In summary Otranto concludes,  we may infer from an analysis of Gelasius \'s epistle that at the end of the fifth century, some women, having been ordained by bishops, were exercising a true and proper ministerial priesthood in a vast area of southern Italy, as well as perhaps in other unnamed regions of Italy.  (Otranto, Notes on the Female Priesthood in Antiquity, Section 2, http://www.womenpriests.org/traditio/otran_1.asp) The Irish Life of Brigit describes the episcopal ordination of St. Brigit of Kildare by Bishop Mel of Ardagh in fifth century Ireland. Brigit was consecrated by Mel, who,  being intoxicated with the grace of God there, did not know what he was reciting from his book, for he consecrated Brigit with the orders of a bishop.  (Davies , p.33.) The evidence in the Celtic Church indicates that women and men were equals in preaching the Gospel, presiding at Mass and at the other sacraments. In the sixth century, three Roman bishops at Tours wrote a letter to two Breton priests Lovocat and Cathern, expressing their outrage that women were allowed to preside at Eucharist.  You celebrate the divine sacrifice of the Mass with the assistance of women to whom you give the name conhospitae* ...While you distribute the eucharist, they take the chalice and administer the blood of Christ to the people... Renounce these abuses...! *(mixed houses or double monasteries where men and women lived together and raised their children in the service of Christ) (Ellis, pp.142-144) In double monasteries, men and women worked as equals. However, the overall authority within a double monastery often resided with an abbess. St. Brigit selected Conleth to help her administer Kildare, and they governed  their church by a mutual, happy alliance.  Meehan, p.14.) The tradition of a Christian seeking a spiritual guide, mentor, soul friend or anam cara (Gaelic) was a prevalent Celtic custom. Women as well as men served as spiritual friends. This custom eventually influenced the entire  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·    Church and led to the institutionalizing of private confession. These are stories of spiritual seekers coming to Saint Ita and Saint Samthann to reveal their sins and to receive forgiveness and guidance. (Meehan, p. 15) · In the tenth century, Bishop Atto of Vercelli wrote that because of the needs of the church, devout women were ordained to lead worship and to preside over the church. Church historian Gary Macy writes,  For over 1200 years the question of the validity of women \'s ordination remained at least an open question. Some popes, bishops and scholars accepted such ordinations as equal to those of men, others did not. (Gary Macy, Theological Studies, September, 2000. p. 3.) St. Therese of Lisieux, a Doctor of the Church, wanted to be a priest. She cut up her mother \'s wedding dress after her father \'s death to make a chasuble. (See Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux, The Story of a Soul.) St.Therese of Lisieux said, in 1897:  God is going to take me at an age when I would not have had the time to become a priest . . . If I could have been a priest, I would have been ordained at these June ordinations. So what did God do? So that I would not be disappointed, he let me be sick: in that way I could not have been there, and I would die before I could exercise my ministry.  Therese spoke those words to her sister, Celine Martin. Celine also testified (at the 1910 beatification diocesan tribunal) that  the sacrifice of not being able to be a priest was something Therese always felt deeply . . . (H)er regret . . . was caused by a real love of God, and inspired high hopes in her. The thought that St. Barbara had brought communion to St. Stanislaus Kostka thrilled her.  Therese said:  Why must I be a nun, and not an angel or a priest? Oh! What wonders shall we see in heaven! I have a feeling that those who desired to be priests on earth will be able to share in their honour of the priesthood in heaven.  In her Story of a Soul (Day, ed.,p. 187) Therese stated (in a prayer to Jesus):  If I were a priest, how lovingly I would carry you in my hands when you came down from heaven at my call; how lovingly I would bestow you upon people \'s souls. I want to enlighten people \'s minds as the prophets and doctors did. I feel the call of an Apostle. I would love to travel all over the world, making your name known and planting your cross on a heathen soil.  · Joan of Arc : From Heretic to Saint : Our Role Model of Holy Disobedience When St. Joan of Arc was asked whether she was subject to church authorities, she replied  yes, but our Lord must be served first.  (See Marina Warner, Joan of Arc: The Image of Female Heroism cited in Ellsberg, pp.136) There were holy women in religious orders who were at some point excommunicated (Bd. Mary McKillop, Bd. Anne Marie Javouhey and Bd. Theodore Guerin). Read their stories in Robert Ellsberg, Blessed Among All Women). Some women faced opposition and even persecution in their struggle to live their vocations,  -especially if this involved any kind of innovation - from  ·  ·    male authorities who  were only too eager to inform them that their visions or desires contradicted the will of God.  Some, like the Beguines, a new model of religious life in Medieval times were suppressed and effectively written out of history. Mary Ward, founder of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was imprisoned and condemned as a  heretic, schismatic and rebel of the Holy Church.  (Ellsberg, p.299.) Others like Angela Merici prevailed. But more than a few could share the motto applied to St. Angela Merici, founder of the Ursuline order:  A Woman Faced with Two Alternatives. She Saw and Chose the Third.  (Ellsberg, pp. 16-17) Prophetic women, like Catherine of Siena and Birgitta of Sweden confronted the corruption and abuses of the institutional church. Acting on her  authority as God \'s messenger  Birgitta insisted that the pope leave the comforts of Avignon and return to his proper seat in Rome.  One time, she denounced the pope as `a murderer of souls, worse than Lucifier, more unjust than Pilate, and more merciless than Judas.  The pope did not respond to her calls for reform of the church, but he did approve the Rule of her new religious order, The Brigettines, or Order of the Most Holy Savior. (Ellsberg, p. 135.) Like Joan of Arc, and these courageous women who endured condemnation and excommunication during their lifetimes by the church for their holy disobedience, Roman Catholic women priests will one day be affirmed as faithful daughters of the church who created new models of discipleship in 21st century. Let \'s hold up the holy women in the history of our church who were excommunicated and continued to shine like the stars in heaven as our role models. Like them, may we be witnesses to true discipleship. There is reason for hope that more contemporary church officials will follow the teaching of Cardinal Walter Kasper, who said,  Some situations oblige one to obey God and ones own conscience, rather than the leaders of the church. Indeed, one may even be obliged to accept excommunication, rather than act against one \'s conscience.  (CORPUS REPORTS Nov./Dec. 2005)  We must admit that there cannot be a participatory church with gender justice as long as the church retains the assumption that female humanity is ontologically different and secondary to male humanity.  (Brother Verghese Theckanath, in a speech to a National Conference of Religious Superiors in India, source: Union of Catholic Asian News, Jan. 30, 2006) We invite our Roman Catholic Church leaders to join us in an open, respectful dialogue so that together we may serve the church faithfully and lovingly. To this end we state in our constitution Article I 1. (to be found on our website: www.romancatholicwomenpriests.org) 1.The goal of the group:  RC Womenpriests  is to bring about the full equality of women in the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time we are striving for a new model of Priestly Ministry. When these goals are reached    and Can. 1024 CIC has been changed, the group  RC Womenpriests  will be dissolved. In her address:  Prophetic Obedience: The Experience and Vision of Roman Catholic Womenpriests to the Southeast Pennsylvania Women \'s Ordination Conference in March, 2005, Bishop Patricia Fresen, D.Th said:  Now we in the Church are on another  \'long walk to freedom \', this time freedom from sexism, from unjust discrimination against women in the church, freedom from oppression by the privileged clerical caste in the church. Once again, we need to stand together in protest, to break the unjust laws because we cannot wait forever, and we need, at least at the beginning, to move into the structures that exist and change them  Womenpriests remind us that women are equal symbols of the holy and therefore should preside at the celebration of the sacraments. Like Rosa Parks, whose refusal to sit in the back of the bus ignited the civil rights movement, Roman Catholic womenpriests are leading the Catholic church into a new age of equality for women in the church. Like Jesus, inclusivity will be our hallmark as we welcome all to God \'s table of plenty at the Banquet of love. Inspired by our ancient sisters who have gone before us as apostles, deacons, priests, bishops and leaders in the church, we embrace our call to live Christ \'s vision of Gospel equality in the 21st century.    Suggested Bibliography: Brock Ann Graham, Mary Magdalene, the First Apostle The Struggle for Authority, 2003 (quotes Hippolytus (DeCantico 24-26, CSCO 264) pp. 43-49) Davies, Oliver (ed), Celtic Spirituality, New York: Paulist, 1999.

At the same time we advocate a new model of priestly ministry based on union with the people with whom we minister. We desire neither a schism nor a break from the Roman Catholic Church, but instead are rooted in a response to Jesus who called women and men to be disciples and equals in living the Gospel. According to Roman Catholic teaching, any bishop in good standing with the pope has apostolic succession and has the authority to ordain. Roman Catholic womenpriests believe that our orders are valid because our bishops have apostolic succession. To be in  full apostolic succession  means that a bishop \'s authority is passed down in a direct line from the first apostles of Jesus Christ. In obedience to the Gospel of Jesus, we are disobeying an unjust law that discriminates against women. Canon laws, the rules that govern Catholic life are contradictory. While canon 1024 states that only a baptized male may receive the sacrament of Holy Orders, canon 849 affirms Gospel equality:  Baptism (is) the gateway to the sacraments.....  Thus, Baptism opens all the sacraments to all the baptized including ordination. Baptism is the foundation of the validity of ordination - not the (male) sex!

Womenpriests and deacons must be the rainbow---we reflect the people we serve: married, celibate, domestic partners, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and transgendered. Roman Catholic Womenpriests walk in solidarity with our women apostles, prophets, teachers, virgins, widows, deacons, priests, abbesses, and bishops in the early church. We affirm the saintly women and men in our Catholic tradition whose words and lives give testimony to the vision of Jesus. They are our companions on the journey to a transformed Roman Catholic Church in which a discipleship of equals is a reality in all areas of the church \'s life. In 1976, the Pontifical Biblical Commission concluded that there is no biblical reason to prohibit women \'s ordination. Women and men are created in God \'s image and both may represent Christ as priests. In the image of God, God created humankind, male and female God created them. (Genesis 1:26-27) Jesus did not ordain anyone. Deacons, presbyters (elders) and bishops are not mentioned in the Gospels. Jesus had male and female disciples, who became apostles by being sent away (from Greek apo, away and stello, send) by being told to  Go and tell.  Jesus chose the Samaritan woman to announce the good news to her entire village. The Samaritans accepted Jesus as Messiah because of her testimony.  1    Within our faith tradition and Sacred Scripture we discover evidence of a history rich in the call and participation of women in all dimensions of ministry: Mary of Magdala, the first witness of the resurrection, was commissioned by Jesus to be the apostle to the apostles. (John 20:1-18) · Pope Hippolytus, who lived from 170 to 236 AD, addressed the role of women in early Christianity in which Jesus made a resurrection appearance to certain women such as Mary Magdalene, and  sends them out on the apostolic mission as the first gospel messengers.  (Brock, pp. 43-49):  Lest the female apostles doubt the angels, Christ himself came to them so that the women would be apostles of Christ and by their obedience rectify the sin of the ancient Eve . . . Christ showed himself to the (male) apostles and said to them: . . .. \'It is I who appeared to the women and I who wanted to send them to you as apostles. \'   Gregory of Antioch (d. 593) (Brock, 15), in Oratio in Mulieres Unguentiferas XI, PG 88, 1863-64:  Portrays Jesus as appearing to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary at the tomb and saying to them:  \'Be the first teachers to the teachers. So that Peter who denied me learns that I can also choose women as apostles. \'   Phoebe, the deacon, was praised by St. Paul for her leadership of the church of Cenchreae. (Romans 16:1-2) Mary, the mother of John Mark, led a congregation. (Acts 12:12) In Romans 16:7 St. Paul identifies Junia as a senior in the faith to himself and labels Junia and her husband, Andronicus, as  outstanding apostles . It is the only time that Paul refers to anyone other than The Twelve or himself as apostles. (St John Chrysostom, 4th century bishop, recognized Junia as a member of the apostolic circle. (The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series 1, 11:555 Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1956) The Louvre possesses the mummy tag of an Egyptian woman, Artemidora, a Christian living between approximately 250 and 350 AD. The tag describes her as a  presbyter,  that is, priest. For photo, see Irvin, Calendars. A burial site for Epikto, on a Greek island, Thera, from the third or fourth century calls her a  presbytis  which means  priest or presbyter . (Eisen, pp. 123-4) In the Catacombs of Priscilla, Rome, the fresco  Fractio Panis  shows a group of women  conducting a Eucharistic banquet . Catholic theologian, Dorothy Irvin believes that the red background and location of this fresco indicates a date close to 100 A. D.  The slope of the shoulders, feminine postures and jaw lines, 2  ·  · · ·  ·  ·  ·    earlobes, breasts and upswept hair-do \'s with forehead curls attest to the femininity of all those seated around the table. (Irvin, Calendars) · A fifth century inscription carved on the sarcophagus of Leta Presbitera describes  Leta Presbitera  and states:  Of blessed memory Leta the Presbyter lived 40 years, 8 months, 9 days whose husband prepared her burial she departed in peace the day before the Ides of May.  Ides 15th ­1 = May 14th. (Irvin, Calendars) A Sicilian 4th or 5th century inscription calls Kale the  presbytis  or elder. (Irvin, Calendars) A fourth century floor mosaic covering the tomb of Guilia Runa is located in the cathedral at Annaba acknowledges:  Guilia Runa, woman priest . This cathedral was made famous by St. Augustine of Hippo. (Irvin, Calendars) In the catacomb of St. Januarus in Naples, Bitalia, a woman priest, is depicted attired in a red chasuble and celebrating the Eucharist. She has two cups on a white cloth in front of her, one is wine one is water to mix with the wine as is still done today. Above her are two open books with markers and on each of the four pages the name of an evangelist is written. (Irvin, Calendars) On the ceiling in the Chapel of the Veiling in the Catacomb of St. Priscilla, is a fresco, dated about 350 A.D. that depicts a woman deacon in the center vested in a dalmatic, her arms raised in the orans position for public worship. On the left side of the scene is a woman being ordained a priest by a bishop seated in a chair. She is vested in an alb, chasuble, and amice, and holding a gospel scroll. The woman on the right end of this fresco is wearing the same robe as the bishop on the left and is sitting in the same type of chair. She is turned toward the figures in the center and left, watching the woman deacon and priest.  These attributes , comments Dorothy Irvin,  indicate that she is thought of as a bishop, while the baby she is holding identifies her as Mary...Women \'s ordination, however, was based on succession from the apostles, including women such as Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mary from Magdala, Phoebe, Petronella, and others about whose status among the founders of the church there could be no doubt.  (Irvin, Calendars) Bishop Theodora, mother of Pope Paschal 1, is depicted in a group portrait standing next to St. Praxedis and the Blessed Virgin Mary in a mosaic in a side chapel of the church of St. Praxedis in Rome. (Morris, 4-6, Eisen 200-205). Theodora, about 820 A. D. and St. Praxedis who lived seven hundred years earlier are depicted as standing together, wearing their episcopal crosses. They witness to a conscious connection between women church office holders and Mary, Mother of Jesus. (Irvin, Calendars)  · ·  ·  ·  ·  3    ·   While the preponderance of evidence for female deacons is in the East,  scholars Kevin Madigan and Carolyn Osiek conclude in their scholarly book on women in Holy Orders that,   the evidence for women presbyters is greater in the west.  (Ordained Women in Early Church, p. 3.) Giorgio Otranto, director of the Institute of Classical and Christian Studies, University of Bari, Italy believes evidence of women priests is found in an epistle of Pope Gelasius I (late 5th c). In 494 AD Pope Gelasius wrote a letter to the bishops of three regions of southern Italy complaining about the practice of women presiding at the liturgy:  Nevertheless we have heard to our annoyance that divine affairs have come to such a low state that women are encouraged to officiate at the sacred altars, and to take part in all matters imputed to the offices of the male sex, to which they do not belong.  In summary Otranto concludes,  we may infer from an analysis of Gelasius \'s epistle that at the end of the fifth century, some women, having been ordained by bishops, were exercising a true and proper ministerial priesthood in a vast area of southern Italy, as well as perhaps in other unnamed regions of Italy.  (Otranto, Notes on the Female Priesthood in Antiquity, Section 2, http://www.womenpriests.org/traditio/otran_1.asp) The Irish Life of Brigit describes the episcopal ordination of St. Brigit of Kildare by Bishop Mel of Ardagh in fifth century Ireland. Brigit was consecrated by Mel, who,  being intoxicated with the grace of God there, did not know what he was reciting from his book, for he consecrated Brigit with the orders of a bishop.  (Davies , p.33.) The evidence in the Celtic Church indicates that women and men were equals in preaching the Gospel, presiding at Mass and at the other sacraments. In the sixth century, three Roman bishops at Tours wrote a letter to two Breton priests Lovocat and Cathern, expressing their outrage that women were allowed to preside at Eucharist.  You celebrate the divine sacrifice of the Mass with the assistance of women to whom you give the name conhospitae* ...While you distribute the eucharist, they take the chalice and administer the blood of Christ to the people... Renounce these abuses...! *(mixed houses or double monasteries where men and women lived together and raised their children in the service of Christ) (Ellis, pp.142-144) In double monasteries, men and women worked as equals. However, the overall authority within a double monastery often resided with an abbess. St. Brigit selected Conleth to help her administer Kildare, and they governed  their church by a mutual, happy alliance.  Meehan, p.14.) The tradition of a Christian seeking a spiritual guide, mentor, soul friend or anam cara (Gaelic) was a prevalent Celtic custom. Women as well as men served as spiritual friends. This custom eventually influenced the entire  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  4    Church and led to the institutionalizing of private confession. These are stories of spiritual seekers coming to Saint Ita and Saint Samthann to reveal their sins and to receive forgiveness and guidance. (Meehan, p. 15) · In the tenth century, Bishop Atto of Vercelli wrote that because of the needs of the church, devout women were ordained to lead worship and to preside over the church. Church historian Gary Macy writes,  For over 1200 years the question of the validity of women \'s ordination remained at least an open question. Some popes, bishops and scholars accepted such ordinations as equal to those of men, others did not. (Gary Macy, Theological Studies, September, 2000. p. 3.) St. Therese of Lisieux, a Doctor of the Church, wanted to be a priest. She cut up her mother \'s wedding dress after her father \'s death to make a chasuble. (See Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux, The Story of a Soul.) St.Therese of Lisieux said, in 1897:  God is going to take me at an age when I would not have had the time to become a priest . . . If I could have been a priest, I would have been ordained at these June ordinations. So what did God do? So that I would not be disappointed, he let me be sick: in that way I could not have been there, and I would die before I could exercise my ministry.  Therese spoke those words to her sister, Celine Martin. Celine also testified (at the 1910 beatification diocesan tribunal) that  the sacrifice of not being able to be a priest was something Therese always felt deeply . . . (H)er regret . . . was caused by a real love of God, and inspired high hopes in her. The thought that St. Barbara had brought communion to St. Stanislaus Kostka thrilled her.  Therese said:  Why must I be a nun, and not an angel or a priest? Oh! What wonders shall we see in heaven! I have a feeling that those who desired to be priests on earth will be able to share in their honour of the priesthood in heaven.  In her Story of a Soul (Day, ed.,p. 187) Therese stated (in a prayer to Jesus):  If I were a priest, how lovingly I would carry you in my hands when you came down from heaven at my call; how lovingly I would bestow you upon people \'s souls. I want to enlighten people \'s minds as the prophets and doctors did. I feel the call of an Apostle. I would love to travel all over the world, making your name known and planting your cross on a heathen soil.  · Joan of Arc : From Heretic to Saint : Our Role Model of Holy Disobedience When St. Joan of Arc was asked whether she was subject to church authorities, she replied  yes, but our Lord must be served first.  (See Marina Warner, Joan of Arc: The Image of Female Heroism cited in Ellsberg, pp.136) There were holy women in religious orders who were at some point excommunicated (Bd. Mary McKillop, Bd. Anne Marie Javouhey and Bd. Theodore Guerin). Read their stories in Robert Ellsberg, Blessed Among All Women). Some women faced opposition and even persecution in their struggle to live their vocations,  -especially if this involved any kind of innovation - from 5  ·  ·    male authorities who  were only too eager to inform them that their visions or desires contradicted the will of God.  Some, like the Beguines, a new model of religious life in Medieval times were suppressed and effectively written out of history. Mary Ward, founder of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was imprisoned and condemned as a  heretic, schismatic and rebel of the Holy Church.  (Ellsberg, p.299.) Others like Angela Merici prevailed. But more than a few could share the motto applied to St. Angela Merici, founder of the Ursuline order:  A Woman Faced with Two Alternatives. She Saw and Chose the Third.  (Ellsberg, pp. 16-17) Prophetic women, like Catherine of Siena and Birgitta of Sweden confronted the corruption and abuses of the institutional church. Acting on her  authority as God \'s messenger  Birgitta insisted that the pope leave the comforts of Avignon and return to his proper seat in Rome.  One time, she denounced the pope as `a murderer of souls, worse than Lucifier, more unjust than Pilate, and more merciless than Judas.  The pope did not respond to her calls for reform of the church, but he did approve the Rule of her new religious order, The Brigettines, or Order of the Most Holy Savior. (Ellsberg, p. 135.) Like Joan of Arc, and these courageous women who endured condemnation and excommunication during their lifetimes by the church for their holy disobedience, Roman Catholic women priests will one day be affirmed as faithful daughters of the church who created new models of discipleship in 21st century. Let \'s hold up the holy women in the history of our church who were excommunicated and continued to shine like the stars in heaven as our role models. Like them, may we be witnesses to true discipleship. There is reason for hope that more contemporary church officials will follow the teaching of Cardinal Walter Kasper, who said,  Some situations oblige one to obey God and ones own conscience, rather than the leaders of the church. Indeed, one may even be obliged to accept excommunication, rather than act against one \'s conscience.  (CORPUS REPORTS Nov./Dec. 2005)  We must admit that there cannot be a participatory church with gender justice as long as the church retains the assumption that female humanity is ontologically different and secondary to male humanity.  (Brother Verghese Theckanath, in a speech to a National Conference of Religious Superiors in India, source: Union of Catholic Asian News, Jan. 30, 2006) We invite our Roman Catholic Church leaders to join us in an open, respectful dialogue so that together we may serve the church faithfully and lovingly. To this end we state in our constitution Article I 1. (to be found on our website: www.romancatholicwomenpriests.org) 1.The goal of the group:  RC Womenpriests  is to bring about the full equality of women in the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time we are striving for a new model of Priestly Ministry. When these goals are reached  6    and Can. 1024 CIC has been changed, the group  RC Womenpriests  will be dissolved. In her address:  Prophetic Obedience: The Experience and Vision of Roman Catholic Womenpriests to the Southeast Pennsylvania Women \'s Ordination Conference in March, 2005, Bishop Patricia Fresen, D.Th said:  Now we in the Church are on another  \'long walk to freedom \', this time freedom from sexism, from unjust discrimination against women in the church, freedom from oppression by the privileged clerical caste in the church. Once again, we need to stand together in protest, to break the unjust laws because we cannot wait forever, and we need, at least at the beginning, to move into the structures that exist and change them  Womenpriests remind us that women are equal symbols of the holy and therefore should preside at the celebration of the sacraments. Like Rosa Parks, whose refusal to sit in the back of the bus ignited the civil rights movement, Roman Catholic womenpriests are leading the Catholic church into a new age of equality for women in the church. Like Jesus, inclusivity will be our hallmark as we welcome all to God \'s table of plenty at the Banquet of love. Inspired by our ancient sisters who have gone before us as apostles, deacons, priests, bishops and leaders in the church, we embrace our call to live Christ \'s vision of Gospel equality in the 21st century.  7    Suggested Bibliography: Brock Ann Graham, Mary Magdalene, the First Apostle The Struggle for Authority, 2003 (quotes Hippolytus (DeCantico 24-26, CSCO 264) pp. 43-49) Davies, Oliver (ed), Celtic Spirituality, New York: Paulist, 1999.

He was a member of the Dominican Order for 34 years. He holds a doctorate (summa cum laude) in the History and Theology of Spirituality from the Institut Catholique de Paris.  M  Matthew Fox will open the program with a major keynote address to set the stage for an in-depth exploration of the conference theme: Inclusive Ministry and Renewal in a Complex Age. Several workshops and a final general session will develop various aspects of this theme, so relevant to today \'s challenges and opportunities.  The hope of Matthew Fox has been to establish a pedagogy that is friendly to learning spirituality, a goal which he continues today in his own university called University of Creation Spirituality. One of the authors who commented on his work said that,  Matthew Fox might well be the most creative, the most comprehensive, surely the most challenging religious-spiritual teacher in America. He has the scholarship, the imagination, the courage, the writing skill to fulfill this role at a time when the more official Christian theological traditions are having difficulty in establishing any vital contact with either the spiritual possibilities of the present or with their own most creative spiritual traditions of the past. Matthew Fox has given us abundant selections from the spiritual literature of the Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist and the indigenous peoples of Africa and America to illuminate our understanding of creation, the Divine, the human experience of the Divine, and our way into the future. Out of these sources, and with reference to discovery of an emergent universe by contemporar y science, Matthew Fox has, it seems, created a new mythic context for leading us out of our contemporary religious and spiritual confusions into a new clarity of mind and peace of soul, by affirming rather than abandoning any of our traditional beliefs.  Matthew Fox is a prophet of our time. He has the courage and wisdom to speak words that give us hope for our own spiritual and religious future.  Tomb to Womb: Birthing New Communities of Faith  Does worship in your local parish feel lifeless? Do you feel  entombed  in your worship community?
