RCWP: just more vagantes, the kind that doesn't admit it's started its own church, which explains the dishonest name (they're not RC anymore). Journos trying to attack the church aren't interested in honest reporting: 'Ex-Catholic old woman becomes minister in sect'.
But sure, the same old liberals, only one group's still parasitically in the official church. Hope Pope Benedict changes that, giving these few remaining biddies what they deserve, or if you like vagante liberals, then fine, go be one.
As one person recently put it, only a small middle-class clique (I add: they're all old and mostly in Protestant countries) wants women priests. The mind and heart of the church around the world isn't interested; it just doesn't come up. Like in Orthodoxy: Valerie Karras and that's about it. Sure, you have Bad Catholics and Bad Orthodox who parrot secular culture by saying they'd be fine with women priests, but they're not trying to change the church like this clique is.
And anyway, Benedict can't: he's only the Pope.
If these women were truly interested in ordained Christian ministry, they would be honest about their opinions and move to a protestant denomination. But "RC"WP is not about honestly. It's about drawing attention to themselves.
