A Milwaukee Roman Catholic - On Wisconsin Lutheran College's Special Speaker - Archbishop Weakland



Unknown has left a new comment on your post "Ordain a Lady - Non-Viral Video Shot Outside an Ep...":

1) I can assure you that the Catholic blogosphere's biggest reaction to this video has been side-splitting laughter.

2) The ladies in the video are young, but the vast majority of "Catholic" advocates of women's ordination are elderly. Many of them have given up on the "institutional Church" and have priested themselves and set up their own churches.

3) Re Archbishop Weakland: I am a Milwaukean. He was more of an embarrassment to his flock than he was to Rome. And also to his monastery, as St. Vincent's made it very clear that he was not welcome back there. He has very few devotees left, and while the damage he has done has not entirely been repaired, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee is in better shape than it was 11 years ago.

"You oppose women's ordination?"


GJ - Thanks for making my point, Unknown. WELS took one of the worst Roman Catholic leaders (doctrine, character, honesty) and made him a featured speaker.

Later WELS lied about the event, which included a series of lectures by his priests as well. WELS said it was a private luncheon of some type, not a public lecture series.

I once had the brochure for the public lecture series.

No one believes a story about WELS until it is officially denied.
