ALBANY -- Eleven of the country's 100 women who call themselves and work as Catholic priests will gather in Albany this weekend for the ordination of Mary Theresa Streck into the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests.
Streck, who grew up at a church in Loudonville and joined and left a convent, says Catholocism has been her life-long calling and becoming a priest is a fulfillment of her faith.

The ceremony will be performed by a bishop affiliated with the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests. Bridget Mary Meehan was one of the country's first women priests and denounces the Vatican's position that this is not a valid ordination.
Once ordained, Streck will lead what she describes as an inclusive, Catholic community of about 40 people -- men, women, gay, straight, divorced, married and single -- at a Unitarian church in Albany.

These poor, lost lambs, wandering around in Unitarian Churches, are playing "dress-up" like little girls. A sister who left the convent many years ago, playing priestess, and now, like Bo Peep, playing shepherdess, pats the head of another ex-nun. It is not an ordination, and they are not clergy. It is no more than a childhood fantasy, played by old women who have long ago wandered away from the …More

we should begin preparing our souls for the coming chastisement, for it fast approaches mankind and it is no longer a question of "if?", but "when?"
