I was born and
raised Catholic but always wondered why women couldn't be priests. I
admire these brave women mentioned in this article for the courage to do what they believe is the right
thing. I believe someday
soon that women will have an equal role in all things spiritual.

In 2002, seven women
were secretly ordained as priests by two Roman Catholic bishops in Germany.
After their ordination, a kind of domino effect ensued.
Those seven women
went on to ordain other women, and a movement to ordain female priests all
around the world was born. The movement, named Roman Catholic Women priests,
says more than a hundred women have been ordained since 2002, and two-thirds of
them are in the U.S.
In the "laying
on of hands" during the ordination ceremony, the priests place their hands
on the candidates before they are officially ordained. The future priests are

Caryl Johnson.

https://www.romancatholicwomenpriests.orgYes, we have challenged and broken the Church's Canon Law 1024, an unjust law that discriminates against women. Despite what some bishops may lead the faithful to believe, our ordinations are valid because we are ordained in apostolic succession within the Roman Catholic Church.
The Catholic people have accepted us as their priests and they continue to support us as we grow from the seven bold women first ordained on the Danube River in 2002. Ordained women are already ministering in over 32 states across the country. We are here to stay.
