by Romulo Braschi, a former Catholic priest who now calls himself a bishop.
"If this ordination does not effectively conform to the laws of the church, it goes against tradition and not against faith," said Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger, a former nun and the women's spokeswoman.
There is no question - the ordination doesn't conform to the laws of the Church. It goes against tradition and faith. A ceremony that goes against the Magisterium also goes against the faith. It's like a communist holding an auction.
The ceremony was performed by Romulo Braschi, an Argentine former Catholic priest who calls himself a bishop and a specialist in karma. His 13,000-member Jesus Rey Church is not recognized by the Vatican. He said today, "The Vatican is used to treating as sects anyone who differs with its dogma."
That's because former Catholics who form their own church and don't recognize the Magisterium and the authority of the Pope are a sect.
