Join us and participate in breaking the silence on women's ordination!
new catholic times sensus fidelium Public Lecture
Join Roy Bourgeois, Maryknoll priest, SOA Watch founder and Marie Bouclin, Roman Catholic Womanpriest , as they speak in Toronto as part of the "Shatter the Stained Glass Ceiling Tour." Join us and participate in breaking the silence on women's ordination.
Sunday December 6th 2009 at 2pm
Emmanuel College
75 Queens Park Crescent East, Toronto
Admission: $10
(easily accessible by public transit)
A Roman Catholic priest faces excommunication for his public support of women's ordination through the Roman Catholic Womenpriests movement. The priest is Fr. Roy Bourgeois, founder of the School of the Americas (SOA) Watch who is known internationally for his work to end U.S. government-funded combat training of Latin American militaries. This November, he has decided to risk his 36 years of priesthood to end sexism in the Church.
The Vatican issued its threat of excommunication due to Fr. Bourgeois' participation in the ordination of Janice Sevre-Duszynska in Lexington, KY on August 9, 2008. Fr. Bourgeois gave the homily during which he said. "Sexism is a sin" and went on to say, "The hierarchy will say, 'It is the tradition of the church not to ordain women.' I grew up in a small town in Louisiana and often heard, 'It is the tradition of the South to have segregated schools.' It was also 'the tradition' in our Catholic church to have the Black members seated in the last five pews of the church. No matter how hard we may try to justify discrimination, in the end, it is always wrong and immoral."
Marie Evans Bouclin, a former nun and high school teacher, worked as a free-lance translator in religion and ethics for over twenty years. She is serving a second term on the national work group of the Catholic Network for Women's Equality (CNWE) and was coordinator of Women's Ordination Worldwide from 2002 to 2006.
Marie was ordained a deacon in August 2006, and was ordained to the priesthood in May 2007 in Toronto. Her area of ministry is to women who have been abused by clergy. She is the author of Seeking Wholeness: Women dealing with abuse of power in the Catholic Church (Liturgical Press, 2006).
