Your words are a breath of fresh air!  Truth!  Thank you!

Future Church, AUSCP (Assoc of US Catholic Priests), Voice of the Faithful are supporting this push for women deacons ONLY, in order to hopefully get the laity's support for optional celibacy for male priests.  This trade off can only result in complete gender segregation of our church's governing and sacramental authority, where all men will have all power, voice, and control over all the women of the church.  Do not be fooled by these groups they are largely containing of ex-priests who have married and many deacons who want ordination only for men.  

If you want to support real equality in our church, that can only come thru equal ordination, starting with priesthood because priesthood is the initial step to all the other levels of sacramental and governmental authority.  Join Women's Ordination Conference or write me at restornow @ mail.com if you want to actively seek real justice for all, in our church.
