Notice in the fine print that this was done at an Episcopalian parish..
'nuff said. Try this stuff in front of a Traditional parish, we dare you!
"we won't kneel to a patriarchal system.." On point.. won't kneel!
As I recall, "non serviam!!" was Satan's battle cry also.....
Thanks for pointing out the fine print. I had to go looking for that.
It's on the video itself, at the very end where they have the credits.
It says, "Many thanks to ... the parish of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church
and all WOC members."
WOC is an acronym for Women's Ordination Conference.

sweater that has
"Mommy for Pope" on the front in bright letters.
The words of Our Lord come to mind (hey, she doesn't like what St. Paul
has to say, maybe Jesus is next??):
"For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies. These are the
things that defile a man" (Matt. xv. 19-20).
"Whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater
in the kingdom of heaven... But he that shall scandalize one of these
little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone
should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in
the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals. For it
must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that
man by whom the scandal cometh" (Matt. xviii. 4-7).
One time some years ago I was trying to show a modernist cleric that
innovations in the liturgy were not a good idea, using Scripture. And
his reply to me was, that
Jesus, when He hung on the Cross, He knew
that there would be those in the future who would reject Him, but
that didn't stop Him from dying for our sins. He did it anyway. Some people are just impossible to teach. At some point, knowledge is
a dangerous thing.
When JPII gave his 'definitive statement' that women cannot be ordained,
it had all the marks of infallibility, except one: he did not have any words
of condemnation for anyone who does not accept this teaching. No
anathema sit. There have been knowledgeable people who have
claimed that this was a statement protected by papal infallibility. But
years later, when asked about it, then Cardinal Ratzinger said that it was
not infallible because JPII had not intended it to be infallible. From that,
I take it that the absence of the
anathema was one and the same
thing as his lack of intention for infallibility. Because if there had been an
anathema attached, Ratzinger would not have been able to say later that
the Pope did not intend it to be infallible.
But it really doesn't matter whether that was infallible or not, because it
is firmly established in the history of the Church that women are not valid
matter for Holy Orders, so even if a woman were 'ordained,' it would be an
invalid ordination. So the next time someone taps you on the shoulder
and says, "Oh, look! A woman priest!" You can reply with full confidence,
"That may be a woman, but she isn't a priest. She may be dressed like
a priest, but she doesn't have valid ordination."
