(VitalNews.org) – As global liberalism worms its way inside even the most sacred institutions, a shocking challenge took place on a barge in Rome’s River Tiber.
Specifically, the secret ordination of a female priest exposed the Vatican’s vulnerability to the woke agenda.
The unauthorized ceremony defied Catholic Church regulations as 68-year-old French national Loan Rocher was ordained as a priest.
Rocher’s daring act happened during the Vatican’s Synod on Synodality, involved all the elements of a formal mass and was attended by 50 people.
The Vatican considers such ordinations illegal and canonical law mandates that participants should be excluded from the Catholic community.
Six women were ordained in this event organized by a group known for defying the Church.
The group has carried out 270 such ordinations in 14 countries since 2002 under the pretension of a more inclusive church welcoming LGBTQ, divorced and remarried individuals.
Feminist associations are demanding the Vatican reconsider its traditional stance after Pope Francis excluded female deacon proposals from the Synod agenda.
The Roman Catholic woman priest movement, which includes figures like Anne Tropeano, has expanded globally and risks excommunication for their actions.
Although he has appointed women to significant roles, Pope Francis does not support their ordination and justifies his stance with a 1994 document.
Activists criticize this position as outdated and misogynistic as it maintains a philosophical battle within the Church about its future and the inclusion of women.
Meanwhile, the Women’s Ordination Conference (WOC) continues to lobby for women’s access to priesthood.
It has called for open discussions and seeks to lay the groundwork for potential changes in Church doctrine.
