Women priests do not and never will exist in the Roman Catholic Church. This is not an act of oppression. It is an act of love initiated by Jesus. See A Woman In Support of an All-Male Priesthood or Why Women Can Not Be Catholic Priests.
These women "priests" can not perform Roman Catholic
Baptisms, Weddings, Ordinations and the like. Any person receiving a "sacrament" from them will not have received a valid Sacrament and will not be recognized by the Roman Catholic Church as having done so. BEWARE.
I have no problem with people believing something different than I believe, but I have little tolerance for people claiming to be something they are not. Roman Catholic Womenpriests are not Roman Catholic. If they want to start some new organization or religion that has women priests, okay. I just wish they would stop claiming to be Roman Catholic when they do not agree with the Church's Teachings. This is not politics. This is religion, and it is not democratic. It never claimed to be.
I would encourage them to come from a place of integrity, by being "man" enough to proactively separate from the Roman Catholic Church, start their own group/religion and do what their new name claims they do. (Technically, as far as I know, they are not even part of the Church, since they excommunicated themselves with these activities. Click here.)
