Vatican urged to overturn ban on women priests

From the Irish Independent:

An international meeting of Catholic women priests, women bishops and their support groups which met in Co Louth at the weekend has said the Vatican must overturn its ban on women’s ordination. 

The international delegates from Ireland, the US, UK and Australia also expressed anger over the Vatican’s categorisation of female ordination as a crime on a par with clerical paedophilia.

Erin Saiz Hanna of Women’s Ordination Conference in the US told the Irish Independent, “It is very clear they are saying that women are defiling the Eucharist in the same way as men have defiled the Eucharist by abusing children.”
