Dignity New York has invited Rev. Victoria Rue, a Roman Catholic Woman Priest, to preside and preach at our annual Gay Pride Liturgy at Judson Memorial on June 23. Since 2002, the Roman Catholic Women Priests movement has ordained dozens of women deacons and priests in conscientious objection against canon law but in rites seen as valid because their women bishops were duly consecrated – in secret – by canonical male bishops. Victoria was a very active member of our Dignity chapter during the 1980s.
DignityNY invites all friends and members to attend. Click here for more information.

MYTH: Roman Catholic women have never been ordained.
TRUTH: Epigraphic evidence exists of women bishops. Until at least the ninth century the Church gave women the full sacramental ordination of deacons. Women priests existed in the West during the 4th and 5th centuries according to literary evidence, and according to epigraphic evidence.
MYTH: These ordinations as women priests are not recognized or valid.
TRUTH: The group "RC Womenpriests" receives its authority from Roman Catholic bishops who stand in full Apostolic Succession. These bishops bestowed sacramentally valid ordinations on the women listed above. All the documents pertaining to these ordinations have been attested and notarized. All minutes of the ordinations, including data about persons, Apostolic Succession, and rituals, together with films and photos are deposited with a Notary Public.
