The ordination ceremony for Abigail Eltzroth happened in Asheville at Jubilee! – a nondenominational faith community – with Bishop Bridget Mary Meehan presiding.
Eltzroth, 64, said she is the second woman in North Carolina ordained by the rebel group, called the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests (http://arcwp.org/en/).

Burning that church down wouldn't be arson, it would be spring cleaning.

It doesn't do any good to talk about arson. God will take care of this mess in due time. But in the meantime, it very likely is going to get a lot worse.

Apostolic Succession
The ordinations of Roman Catholic Women Priests are valid because of our apostolic succession within the Roman Catholic Church. The principal consecrating Roman Catholic male bishop who ordained our first women bishops is a bishop with apostolic succession within the Roman Catholic Church in communion with the pope.

They've overlooked a big problem:
.
A woman is not valid matter for ordination, therefore the so-called ordinations are invalid and null.

The bishop should be defrocked, but Rome is currently not about to take on such a role.
.
It is similar to a real priest pronouncing the words of consecration over bagels and grape juice. The matter is not valid, so there is no sacrament confected.

I think this was meant tongue-in-cheek :laugh2:
