Christian Century, August 14, 2002

"It is true that we have infringed the code of canon law that forbids the ordination of women, but the article of the code [that prohibits such ordination] is an offense against the equality between women and men that has been proclaimed by God."

--From a statement by seven women---six Europeans and one American--excommunicated by the Vatican after being illegally ordained June 29 on a boat on the Danube River by a "schismatic" ex-Catholic, Argentinian Romulo Antonio Braschi.
