In San Diego At A Lutheran Church A Presbyterian Woman Becomes A Catholic Priest (Priestest) !!

Confused? Well so am I but it appears this play acting is big news for some reason.

The media reporting on this is so bad. Get Religion has Return of the Womenpriests

I love this part of the commentary
Um, okay. I honestly have no idea what’s going on. The headline is the typical bait and switch we’ve grown accustomed to with these stories. We know that “Pastor Rev. Jane Via” is not a Roman Catholic priest. Is Rev. Rod Stephens? I doubt it but we never get that clarified. Is Nancy Corran even Catholic? No — we learn later that she graduated from Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley and was certified for ordination by the Presbyterian Church (USA). Are any of these people Catholic?

This seems like such a simple thing but apparently it’s not: In order to be excommunicated by a given church, you have to first be a member of that church. The Archdiocese of San Diego has no more jurisdiction to excommunicate Nancy Corran than I do. But the first line was actually that the “Mary Magdalene Apostle Catholic Community” risked “excommunication.” It didn’t explain who or what might excommunicate the community and from what they would be excommunicated. The follow-up quotes do not clarify.
Unfortunately the whole story is just as ridiculous as the lede........................

Insanity!!!

Read the whole thing.

I actually went to the web site of the "Church" which shows you how Catholic this is. Why is a Lutheran Church linked on the front page? Well it appears they use the building I guess.

On and there are more options for you
MMACC strives to be an inclusive Catholic community. In this spirit, all who feel called to fully participate in the Eucharist are invited to receive Communion in the Eucharistic bread and red wine or white grape juice.

We have also see they have whole new creed they say at this faux mass. That is Catholic? Seems they left a lot out too.

As to the Lutheran Church I would love to know if the Archdiocese has contacted the ELCA Pacifica Synod about this and if they approve.

Update-
I went to the Lutheran web page and read their newsletter:


MARY MAGDALENE APOSTLE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY INVITES GETHSEMANE to their mass on June 20. In honor of the summer solstice, they will celebrate outside and incorporate a labyrinth walk into their Eucharistic celebration.

Everytime you see the women Priest movement you have this goofiness.

Update II-
To answer Get Religion's question Rev. Rod Stephens (who is bio says has lived with his partner for 25 years) is or was a Catholic Priest
He caused a bit of controversy among Catholics just a few years ago
