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.

Is it me, or does this sound like a high-school break-up note?

“Good-bye America … you are not the country that I love and I finally realized no matter how much I sacrifice, I can’t make you be that country unless you want it.

I don’t think so.
Not enough time to deconstruct the entire piece, but here’s a silly quote from Susan Gibbs, spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Washington:

“Of 150,000 people in the Washington DC area who attend Mass each week, less than 500 choose the Tridentine Mass,” which has been available in the city since 1985. Accessibility isn’t an issue, since the rite is already offered in three locations scattered across the city and suburbs.

Already offered in three locations scattered across the city and suburbs. Makes it sound like you can just get up and walk over to a Tridentine Mass any given Sunday. Here are the three parishes that celebrate the Tridentine Mass. That’s exactly the same number of parishes that celebrate the Mass in French and Tagalog. The Tridentine Mass is celebrated at only one downtown parish and two in Maryland. And as you can see – DC is a pretty big place. And yet the spokeperson for the diocese can say – geez, only 500 show up for it.
And here’s the most ignorant thing I’ve read in 2007:

In addition to the Latin prayers, which are different from those used in the modern liturgy, Tridentine priests face the altar, so that he is seen as leading the faithful in prayer. The rank and file don’t participate actively in the service.

Sounds like the author interviewed a renegade DRE for this article.
Thanks, McPaper! You have proven worthy for use only in the smallest room in my house.

I’m surprised it’s taken this long for court cases to be brought against parishes in Italy.
