> Brethren: The 'ordination' of women to the sacerdotal
priesthood/episcopate  is a fond thing vainly invented and plainly
repugnant tothe wordof God and has been repeatedly condemned by Holy
Tradition and the Councils. Thus,since a woman CANNOT receive the grace
of Holy Orders therefore any priestly sacramental act in which she
participates is absolutely null and totally void  and a blasphemous act.
Of course this does not matter to the neo -Zwinglians/Calvinists that
haunt the halls of the now sadly apostate Episcopal Church.  In your
charity please pray for the soul of Archer Torrey+ (RIP) and Judy
Orcadius(RIP).Blessings and Happy'gesimas! GDVW+
