8 women to be ordained as Roman Catholic priests, 4 as deacons!! Today!!

And it's not the first time. "Rebel" Roman Catholic clergy have been ordaining women as priests and bishops for some time now. In my very limited understanding of Roman Catholic rules of order, since they were ordained by validly ordained bishops, their ordinations are valid. For those women who were validly ordained bishops, the ordinations they perform are valid. At least, all those things are valid until the RCC hierarchy revokes them. I ask your prayers: God, give these brave souls the grace to resist oppression, with strength and love, and without fear and hatred. Amen.
