<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A hypothetical scenario which may or may not occur
in the near future:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ms F. Eminist applies to a Catholic seminary in
communion with Pope Benedict XVI (just to make sure we know it's not some
reincarnationist Catholic Church such as the one I discovered in South Africa
some years back) in order to study for the priesthood. The seminary says
no. Ms F. Eminist takes the seminary to court. Judge L. Iberal hears
the case, and she decides that the seminary is discriminating and that Ms F.
Eminist must be accepted. Whatever appeals to higher courts are made fail
to change the verdict.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What will the US Catholic Church do in this
situation?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What will the US Catholic Church do when all Ms F.
Eminist's supporters register themselves as Catholics at their local parish (to
avoid being rejected because they're not Catholic, if they're not nominally so
already), wait a year or two (to make it clear they're established Catholics)
and then decide to apply to seminaries (again, Catholic ones in communion with
Pope Benedict XVI) to become priests?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>God bless,</FONT></DIV>
