P.S. - You're Not a Priest


The awesome Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield has lovingly lowered the boom on Mary Kelderman. What did she do? She decided to become ordained as a "priest".

In an on-line article entitled "Dear Woman Priest, You're Excommunicated... Love, Bishop Paprocki", we get the details:

Bishop Paprocki wrote to her last month asking her to reconsider her plan, but evidently she ignored him and tried to be ordained a priest at a Unitarian church on May 5.

Bishop Paprocki promptly issued a decree of excommunication (and if you’ve never seen one of those before, they look like this).

The bishop also issued this statement to his diocese:

Please be advised that Ms. Mary F. Keldermans of Springfield, Illinois, has attempted to be ordained a priest for “Roman Catholic Womenpriests, Inc.” in a ceremony at the Abraham Lincoln Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Springfield on May 5, 2014. As a result, she has incurred an automatic excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See.
 
Kick save, and a beauty!
