- Share via
The Vatican has excommunicated seven women who claim to be priests and refuse to repent.
The women--from Austria, Germany and the United States--participated in an ordination ceremony June 29 carried out by Romulo Braschi, an Argentine who calls himself an archbishop but whom the Vatican rejects.
One of the women, Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger, described the Vatican decision as “a further act of discrimination against women in the Catholic Church.”
