'The institutional church has been very slow to recognize its spiritual abuse — it does violence to one's spirit.'—Soline Humbert ncronline.org/news/soline-hu… via @NCRonline

www.ncronline.org Soline Humbert felt called to ordination. This Irish priest paid a price for supporting her. Soline Humbert's memoir recounts the story of Fr. Eamonn McCarthy, who was ordained in 1967 and says it is time for the Catholic Church to ordain women as priests and deacons.

Would Jesus have excluded his mother Mary and his women disciples from the Last Supper? They were present at the foot of the cross the next day when the men ran away. Mary of Magdala was the first witness of the risen Christ. Jesus treated women as equals. So should our church.

Of course women should be ordained! Jesus treated women and men as equals. So should our church.
