Modern Church finds new low. Modernist priest prefers Anglican "Bishop" Sarah to Catholic Cardinal Sarah
[…] By appointing a woman to this position for the first time, the Church of England places itself at the service of God's will as it has discerned it. We can then understand the significance of the event on the scale of Christianity, where many Churches, foremost among them the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, do not admit women as ordained ministers.
Whether it be faithfulness, wisdom, or error, the appointment of Sarah Mullally is a sign of controversy today, in the heat of the moment. The true deciding factor will be, as always in such cases, her testimony of holiness in the exercise of her ministry. A trained nurse, a senior civil servant in the British health service, a mother, and the first Bishop of London, "irreproachable, reasonable, able to teach," according to Saint Paul's words, sensitive to social realities, Sarah Mullally has all the hallmarks of a faithful follower of the Gospel and an apostle. God save Sarah!
This contrasts with what Cardinal Robert Sarah, Prefect Emeritus of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, said:
"No Council, no synod, no ecclesiastical authority has the power to invent a female priesthood... without seriously undermining the enduring character of the priest, his sacramental identity, within the framework of the renewed ecclesiological vision of the Church, of mystery, communion, and mission."
Cathcon: The "bishop" supports abortion and euthanasia. That is a unacceptable price to pay for ecumenism. Ecumenism is used as a tool to coerce the Catholic Church into ordaining women.
