ok, so....there is a woman in san diego who has been ordained as a catholic priest by another catholic priest.....and then excommunicated by the pope......and i do believe that it is under just such circumstances that i could become a catholic......with a female priest.....i know that my spouse misses the cadence of the roman mass.....and finds the moderate baptist service less than stimulating.......but i cannot in good faith become a member of a sect that excludes women from places of power/authority/influence/voice........and so i can only hope that a renegade female priest presents herself locally.....in my lifetime.......
