Who is this "independent bishop" that your report claim??? In the first place, this so called "bishop" is the cause of the problem - He should know that the Catholic Church DOES NOT ordain women priests. Besides, there are many other charisms for women to serve and live up to their "baptismal priesthood". Why does she insist in becoming a priest(ess) when there is none in the history of the Church??? Don't create something out of nothing.
