Another Women Priest's Article - This time New York

A rather badly "womenspriest" article out of New York. See Fighting Tradition, A Catholic Womanpriest Leads Mass in East Village

...But on the second Sunday of the month, a small group gathers at 175 E. 4th Street to celebrate a Catholic mass, creating a sanctuary by dragging chairs into a circle and setting up a makeshift alter. A woman, Gabriella Velardi-Ward, leads the celebration, which is part of a growing movement worldwide that's changing who can lead a Catholic church. ....

I am not sure how much this is "growing" and its seems to be a leap that it's "changing" anything.

Here are a few problems.
There is not real counter weight in the article to the "expert" that says women can be ordained. Further again there is no consideration to the Churches of the East in Communion with Rome or to the Second Lung of the Church the Eastern Orthodox.

The pic in the article clearly shows 5 chairs in a semicircle waiting for the monthly mass. If that's not growing, I don't know what is. :)
