Excommunicated Female "Bishop" seizes Communion
In haste, late at night from the Upper Austrian News.
The Sunday worship celebration in the Parish of St. Peter in Linz did not make the excommunicated "Bishop" Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger as happy as she would have wished. Bishop Ludwig Schwarz refused her communion with the Host. Then she took the wafer herself.
400 people joined the celebration of Mass in the Parish of St. Peter on 28June.. It was held in honour of the church's patron, St. Peter. Among them, high-ranking politicians. But few noticed what happened during the Communion.
Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger was dressed as a Bishop when she appeared at the Mass in official dress with a large pectoral Cross. During the Communion she chose, consciously or unconsciously, the row in which the Diocesan Bishop Ludwig Schwarz distributed communion. The bishop suggested to her that she should not come, because he could not give her Communion. But Mayr-Lumetzberger would not stop. When it came to her, she was not given the Host. According to ecclesiastical law,someone excommunicated may not receive communion.
Mayr-Lumetzberger took the host herself from the ciborium. "I was there for all men and women in a similar situation in life," she says in discussion with OÖN. Is it normal to receive the Host like this? "There are different models of the Communion," she says. What did she feel? "In the first moment, nothing. But now I feel hurt and angry, like a woman who has been beaten for the first time by a man, "says Mayr-Lumetzberger.
Had she expected to receive Communion?" Yes. The Gospel is a higher authority than canon law. "Mayr-Lumetzberger is excommunicated since according to Canon Law ordination of priestesses is prohibited. It had however never happened that she did not receive the Host. The Church of St. Peter is her home parish. "I know Christine a long time. For me, she has never come for Communion. She knows what situation this would put me in "says Parish Priest Franz Zeiger. This Sunday, she came dressed as a Bishop to the Mass.
Do she wish to provoke and did she want to attract attention? "I cannot judge. But dress codes, I cannot enforce on anybody, "says Pastor Zeiger. Did he understand the attitude of Bishop Ludwig Schwarz? "Yes. in canon law he cannot. " Observers had the impression that the situation during the Mass was painful for Bishop Ludwig Schwarz.

The priest and the bishop are also responsible for this desecration, and this incident should be carefully investigated by Rome.
Or nobody really cares in Rome??
By the way, that pride should be occasion for a good and holy priest to ask her to leave in a loud voice. They, by the contrary, are all cowards and pussy cats.
Oh... sorry... it was so painful for bishop... poor guy.
Give me a break!
Jesus is Holy-He is our Creator, the Host is Jesus.
she just offended Jesus face to face.
and for what? to push her stubborneness?
St. Michael the Archangel taught at Fatima a prayer for the offences against Jesus at the Tabernacle (in His own House). That was decades ago. They knew how sinful people will offend Jesus.
May God save her soul.
Did you know that in the early times of the church people were chosen to celebrate the eucharist?
Christ himself, did not do the traditional 'course' or degree for priesthood. So you would have condemned him as well I presume??!!

The woman in question is very very very confused.
It would be shocking and so disrespectful! Not much differnt than what this woman did!
She clearly lacks stability and maturity. We need to pray for her and her obsesive need for attention.
How very sad that she would be willing to crucify Jesus all over again.
The issue is not that of Woman Priests, but rather that of our refusal to acknowledge that Christianity is the fruit of Divine grace operating upon human broken and damaged hearts and that the central tenant of Christianity is that we LOVE EACH OTHER WITH THE SAME HUMILITY AND GRACE THAT CHRIST EXPRESSES WHEN HE STOOPS DOWN TO LOVE US. Less than that is mere human religious illusion, and pertains to the flesh and not to the Spirit (2 Cor.5:16-21).
True Catholicism must be big enough to embrace ALL the Baptised Faithful. We are still hobbling along with our qualifications of "Roman", "Independent", "Protestant" etc., as if God gave the slightest credence to our infantile demands for uniformity to our subjective individual conscience.
This I know that both Bishops will stand before the true Lord of the Church and they will both enter His glory through the unmerited and unmeritable Divine gift of grace and love, and they shall together life in timeless eternity as one in the One True and Undivided Glorious Church of God.
Then they shall laugh with embarrassment at the delusional behaviour of this day when one sought the others approval and love, but could not receive it, because the other sought Rome's conditional acceptance!
