   To all writing to REV Susan Russell: Please note the correction....she never signed her named Sr. (nun). A reverend is a PASTOR. She may be the Reverend Susan Russell of the Episcopal church in Pasadena, who is President of the Gay Lesbian in the Clergy association.
   
   The nuns I know personally are humble, loving women who joyfully and faithfully serve the Lord in full communion with the Church. Please don't associate Rev. Russell's comment with the beautiful service of our Sisters.

   God Bless and with love and humility.
   
   Im sorry but we dont have provisions for women priests.
   The Lord never made provisions.
   
   The Church has spoken with love that it doesnt have this authority.
   
   Why do you and others persist in this kind of persecution and disobedience to Christ.
   
   This has nothing to do with feminism or women's rights.
   
   As I have said before when the Lord comes a second time Im sure He will let many of you ask Him until then this church has to obey His teaching.
   
   It always has and I hope always will do so.
   
   Contrary to public opinion the Church doesnt want to be your bedrooms.
   
   Have you even read up on what she teaches in the Catechism of the Catholic Church?
   
   A very good read. Its never been easy to follow her. He, the Lord never said it would be.
   
   The road is not an easy one to follow.
   
   Im sorry ladies but the Lord made provisions that you can be anything you want but He never said anything about the priesthood.
   
   Please pray for our brothers and sisters persecuted around the world.
   
   Pray to our Blessed Mother to intervene to our Lord.

   Rev. Susan Russell,
   Wow. A nun? I do not know which congregation you belong to - if at all. But you might want to think of the "so many" young vocations in your congregation. If yes, be proud of how God has used to to bring in more laborers. If not, maybe you should do a little more examination of conscience before continuing with your cheap shots at the Magisterium.
   
   I think some, maybe many nuns in this country have contributed hugely in relativising the Catholic faith here in the USA. Our greatest problem is not from outside. It is from "WITHIN" in the ilks of nuns whose passion is in "anti-Catholicism" and priests better described as Protesting Catholics"
   
   Sad as it is though, the ECLA has done well be at least defining themselves clearly enough for all to see. False prophesy did not end with the Old Testament, neither did Satan retire after Christ's resurrection. Be on your guard!

   Thank God we are a Church of 'baptized people united in faith under the Pope'.

   I have to agree with Lisa Marie. They already are in heresy, and talking about how homosexuality is against "ancient Christian teachings" such as the Diadache really doesn't matter to the Lutherans or any other Protestant, since their history starts with the Reformation. We're simply seeing the inevitable fruit of their schism and heresy.
   What we need to do is pray, not that the ECLA revises their ruling or has some sort of revival, but that the Lutherans (particularly the ones who are still trying to hold to some sembelance of morality) come to the One True Faith, outside of which no one can be saved.

   There was a time I actually considered converting to Lutheranism because I thought they adhered more closely to Scriptural teaching--shame on me!

   I agree with Lisa Marie. Lutherans are already heretics. This is just another eventual heresy within a bigger heresy called the Lutheran Church.

   I agree with Lisa Marie. Why is this a headline on a Catholic News site? Lutherans have always been in heresy as have all other non-Catholic faiths. Let's get back to what matters most. Like why many "faithful" clergy still refuse to allow the Traditional Latin Mass in their parishes and dioceses. Now THAT'S a crisis worth reporting...

   Some of these so called churches, are rebuilding a church of their own, promoting a Happy Go Lucky Religion.!!

    I am confused. The "Lutheran church" is already in heresy. Luther rejected the Church and the modern Lutherans even reject what Luther held. Also, why is this is a front page story on a Catholic website.
