Female Priest Refused Church Burial

A female Catholic priest who was ordained last year died of cancer. The Archdiocese is refusing to let her be buried in the church in which she served. Read the story here.

Now I know I am risking going straight to hell for this, but . . .

The policy of the Catholic church is to EXCOMMUNICATE (?!?) women who seek ordination. Let me say that it is just stupid to take people who aspire to serve at the highest levels of an organization and THROW THEM OUT. However, I understand and respect the right of any organization to make its own governing rules.

In fairness, this female priest was "ordained" by a group over the church's objection and strict ban. Since she showed no signs of repentance before death, the church in which she served has denied her the dignity of a funeral at the parish where she served.

If what she did was soooooooo bad, why didn't the church toss her out on her butt when she was ordained? Why wait until her death to turn their back on someone that supported them wholly and holy? Where was the damn compassion in that act? It is this type of arbitrary BS that has folks leaving the church rather than supporting it.

What do you think?
