I pray that Christ forgives them. Imagine what you would do if someone hit your mother.

A Priestess in Every Parish?

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend loves the Church so much she wants to destroy it.

It needs to rethink its position on the ordination of women and married people, on abortion, on gay clergy and gay unions. "Clearly," she says, "if we can believe in the virgin birth and that the body and blood of Christ are in the eucharist, then we can certainly believe that a woman can be a priest."

These things have worked so well in other churches, right Kathy?
