text: You had stated previously that NO WOMAN in the Roman Catholic Church has ever been ordained.  My comment was that the history of the church is too long and convoluted to make that statement.
  
  I included Brigid, BECAUSE she was ordained by a bishop with a NAME and there were witnesses to her consecration.  There were other women as well.  Even St. Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, in his doctoral dissertation went to do investigation/research concerning the Abbesses of Las Huelgas---who had both the authority of bishops and canonical powers as well----for many centuries.
