June 1, 2014

Few photos for a recent story about a Three Oaks, Michigan woman who risked being excommunicated to be ordained.

On Saturday, Lewis will be ordained by the Roman Catholic Womenpriests group. Lewis will do so in the face of a threat of automatic excommunication from Bishop Paul Bradley of the Catholic Diocese of Kalamazoo. “This action will further separate her from the Church in a very grave manner,” Bradley wrote in a letter inserted in the diocese newsletter on May 22. “It also has the potential to cause great confusion for our faithful.” (James Brosher/South Bend Tribune)
