Proper use of quotation marks

Sudbury woman ‘ordained’ priest; Marie Bouclin took vows not sanctioned by Catholic church
This would make your dog turn it’s head sideways if you were reading to it and it could understand english:

The standing-room-only crowd of a couple of hundred people

Why not rent a banquet hall? Then the couple of hundred people would have chairs and a dance floor.
And here’s your dose of bad writing:

Bouclin, who was ordained a deacon in a secret service last year, was literally beaming after Sunday’s two-and-a-half hour ordination. If she had any doubts before that rank-and-file Roman Catholics support the ordination of women and married men as priests, they flew out the stained-glass windows of West Hill United Church.
