Wisconsin Woman Faces Excommunication
MILWAUKEE -- A 64-year-old woman faces excommunication for seeking the
priesthood in an unsanctioned ordination ceremony in Pittsburgh last month, the
Milwaukee Archbishop said.
Kathy Sullivan Vandenberg and 11 other women
took part in an ordination ceremony July 31 conducted by the group Roman
Catholic Womenpriests -- eight to become priests and four to become deacons.
Similar ceremonies conducted by Roman Catholic Womenpriests have been
held before in other countries, and most of the participants have been
excommunicated. The Pittsburgh ceremony was the first in the United States.
