Pope Benedict has declared
the Ordination of Women
the Ordination of Women
by Roman Catholic Bishops
a crime comparable to
a crime comparable to
child-molestation
by Catholic priests!
Any bishop who dares flout this papal declaration
will be referred to the modern-day version of
the INQUISITION
for "punishment."
For one independent bishop
this has been just "too much."
Following his conscience
he has taken a drastic step.

This is not just of general interest to me.
Helen is in discernment process towards priesthood,
and I am studying to become a priest
in the independent ("heretical") lineage
led by this bishop, Bishop Keizer.
Bishop Keizer's action
with the support of his fellow bishops
though perhaps seemingly insignificant on the world stage
is courageous, and full of spiritual power.
May God keep him safe from all forms of harm

The Inquisition's ways
of dealing with heretics
- even those who are "outside"
the walls of its own church -
are well-known;

Bishop Keizer is worthy of
our deepest prayers
and support.
May God keep him safe from all forms of harm
and increase in him the Holiest Spirit
of Wisdom, Courage, Peace and his soul's Passion.
