Pope Re-confirms Female Priest Ban

The Vatican insisted Friday that it is properly following Christian tradition by excluding females from the priesthood as it issued a new warning that women taking part in ordinations will be excommunicated.
The move dashed the hopes both of women seeking to be priests and of Catholics who see that as an option for a church struggling to recruit men.
A top Vatican official said the church acted after what it described as “so-called ordinations” held in various parts of the world.
In March, the archbishop of St. Louis excommunicated three women — two Americans and a South African — for participating in a woman’s ordination. They were part of the Roman Catholic Women priests movement, which began in 2002.
Monsignor Angelo Amato of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said “The church does not feel authorized to change the will of its founder Jesus Christ,” The reference is to Christ’s having chosen only men as his Apostles. But, isn’t that Mary Magdalene sitting next to him at the Last Supper?
Catholics who are excommunicated cannot receive the sacraments. Amato says, “the penalty can be lifted if those so punished are sincerely repentant.” Huh?

Eco-Conscious Bra Taps Into Solar Power

Green is in. Looking to hitch a ride on the sustainability bandwagon, lingerie maker Triumph International Japan introduced a solar-powered, eco-friendly, and green (literally) bra in Tokyo last week. Yes, that’s b-r-a. Bra.
Featuring a solar panel around the stomach area, the simply-named “Solar Energy Bra” can generate enough electricity to power up your mobile phone or iPod. The drawback: it needs light to generate electricity. In other words, it won’t work with clothes on. So, in the same breath, Triumph has also announced that the bra is NOT likely to hit stores soon. Okay, that makes total sense.
The real question is: Must women do all the work, including power up the world — with our bras? Enough is enough!
