    Boston Boondoggle: More "Women Priests"

    [sarcasm] Oh wow, how radical [/sarcasm]:

    Three aspiring Catholic priests will be anointed and prayed over this weekend in an ordination liturgy that will resemble the traditional in most ways but one: The three being ordained are women. (Boston Globe)
    Photographic proof:

    Pope Benedict's reaction:

    Okay, seriously, Fr. Z has at the first report, then the follow-up, which is better and includes a Globe retraction:
    Clarification: The main headline on a report in yesterday’s City and Region section may have led to the erroneous impression that three women will be recognized as priests by the Roman Catholic Church after their ordination tomorrow. As the report and a subordinate headline made clear, the women’s status after the ordination is a matter of dispute. Although the organization hosting the ceremony will consider the women to be Catholic priests, the Vatican and the Archdiocese of Boston will regard them as having excommunicated themselves and therefore as being neither Catholic nor priests.
    The Curt Jester always has good comments about women ordinations. For instance, see his satirical post, "I am only a Newsweek reporter." Really, just re-read it. Everything in there still applies.
