Canadian Archbishop Wants Female Deacons to "Celebrate Liturgies"

Gatineau Archbishop Paul-André Durocher, 64, Canada, calls for female deacons who could celebrate baptisms and marriages - although both sacraments are less and less administered in Canada's overaged Church.

According to JournalMetro.com (March 3), Durocher sees a female deaconate as the “first step”.

Durocher also believes that a council could make up a "female priesthood" but that this will not happen soon.

Female deacons celebrating liturgies have never existed in the whole history of the Church.

Durocher sees a female deaconate as the “first step”. I'll just bet he does. C.S. Lewis wrote eloquently on where those steps inevitably lead.

And hell smiles

The "marriages" would be invalid.

Any archbishop that wants to do this should be warned then excommunicated. Lay people need to revolt until this archbishop changes his mind!!!!!! Rise up Catholics or it will come to your local parish!!!!

yes .. that same little guy from the North of Ontario also says that the devil is only a name to mean bad things .. Here many of the religious people believe more in the world, in pleasing the people, and in Themselves ..
