Adoration? A double helping, please!

These next two weeks are going to be a great start to Advent. I have the opportunity to start it off the right way with Exalt! this Thursday (7pm, St. Cletus), followed by Encounter next Wednesday (7:30pm, Incarnate Word). What a great way to start Advent off and to begin to “Prepare ye the way of the Lord.”

I hope to see you at both of these events. Trust me, they are well worth it.

Local women to become priests

Here’s a recent opinion piece I just finished reading from STLToday.com. It involves two Catholic women who are being ordained as (I assume) Catholic priests. Since they can’t get ordained by the diocese, they are being ordained in a local synagogue.

The official Catholic stance of similar instances in the past has been that “nothing happened” during their ordination, and the women were promptly excommunicated from the Church. It will be interesting to see this play out over the next few weeks or so.

I’d love to know what you think about women and the priesthood. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.
