Roman Catholic Women Priests: Valid but Illicit Parts 1 & 2
At the 2019 Parliament of World Religions I met a group of women at a booth that claimed they were fully ordained Roman Catholic priests. Needless to say, I was taken aback, and quickly questioned them, as I'm sure so many people do on a regular basis. How in the world can women be Catholic priests? The Church has made it abundantly clear that female clerics would be as impossible as men giving birth.
So, how can this happen officially? Well, I ask you to listen to their story, offered by Mary Eileen Collingwood; and find out how Church law can deem an act "valid but illicit." Theme music "Nigal."
