they are waiting for the vatican to open its doors and really confront its sense of sexism. it is undeniable that i have a vocation to be a roman catholic priest. it's with great joy that i present to you our. newly ordained priest. cheering and applause. it took me quite a while to decipher my call to priesthood. you know, iwould hear this, "you are my priest, "you are a priest, i want you to be a priest," and i would think to myself, i mean, "am i hearing that? "is that coming from god?" because the institutional church does not allow women to be priests.
