A New Schism Emanating From Germany
heretic: a person who maintains unorthodox religious opinions or beliefs, esp. a baptized Roman Catholic who dissents from official church doctrine.
A New Schism Emanating From Germany
...and rooting about for new followers in the USA.
As in the past when Martin Luther chose to break away and founded his pseudo-Catholic sect in Germany, the Lutheran Church, a NEW heretic group, the Roman Catholic Womenpriests (RCWP) has emerged after clandestine, unapproved ordinations on the Danube, claiming legitimacy for woman bishops, priests, and deacons . The claim is made that current male active Roman Catholic Bishops in Germany performed the ordinations according to Church tradition and law. These RCWP bishops are proceeding to spread the heresy here in the USA with ordinations of heretic woman priests and deacons. A few of these heretics are former nuns.
They proudly proclaim themselves on their web page:

RCWP Response Regarding Papal Excommunication Decree
Roman Catholic Womenpriests reject the penalty of excommunication issued by the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith on May 29, 2008 stating that the “women priests and the bishops who ordain them would be excommunicated latae sententiae.” Roman Catholic Womenpriests are loyal members of the church who stand in the prophetic tradition of holy obedience to the Spirit’s call to change an unjust law that discriminates against women. Our movement is receiving enthusiastic responses on the local, national and international level. We will continue to serve our beloved church in a renewed priestly ministry that welcomes all to celebrate the sacraments in inclusive, Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered communities wherever we are called.
The position of the Pope and US Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church is clear; that women who are participants in RCWP are excommunicated. They can not be "loyal members of the church" . They are NOT believers of the word of Christ as written in the following bible passage
(From: The New American Catholic Bible, St. Joseph Edition, IMPRIMATUR James A. Hickey, S.T.D., J.C.D. ArchBishop of Washington, August 27, 1986)
Matthew 16, 15-19
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God."
Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
The Pope, as the descendent of Peter with his authority, has said that these women are excommunicated. Thus as it is bound on earth, it is bound in heaven. Thus their claims as stated on the RCWP web page and mirrored above are pure sophistry on their part.
It is quite obvious that they do NOT believe and thus can not be true members of the Roman Catholic Church. They are repeating and renewing the Martin Luther heresy in a new schism. This is obviously an attempt of Satan to divide the Church in the USA.
RCWP Excommunicated:
