[Apologetics] Women priests and the US law

[Dianne Dawson]

Hi Stephen,

Since the seminaries are private entities and take no government funding, I don't think the courts would be able to find any basis upon which to bring a law suit.  

Of course, the Honorary L.Iberal is unpredictable and likely to try to get away with anything.

Hi
 
A hypothetical scenario which may or may not occur 
in the near future:
 
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.
 
What will the US Catholic Church do in this 
situation?
 
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?
 
God bless,
Stephen
