The Ordained Woman Priest

There has been an interesting story developing in Louisville, Kentucky, where a woman, Rosemarie Smead, has been ordained a priest outside of the Roman Catholic Church. This has caused major controversy in the Catholic Church as there has been a long standing ban on women being ordained as priests in the Catholic Church. While she was ordained outside the Roman Catholic Church, she still has considered herself to be a Catholic. The former pope, Benedict XVI, took a firm place to oppose ordaining women and keeping the old laws. He even took to stripping male priests of their Holy Orders if they did ordain women. While this has already caused a lot of commotion, there will most likely be new developments in this story so keep an eye on it.
