Sister Kathleen, by her actions, has besmirched the reputation of The Sisters of the Holy Names. She must feel comfortable that heresy is okay in this Archdiocese.

Greetings to all of you,
I'm sending a little reminder about our Mass this coming Saturday. For our lectors (Bob Larroque, first reading; Sandi DeMaster, second reading) we will be using the Lectionary created by Priests for Equality. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Janet Stevens for providing us with this copy! The Larroques will also be providing us with refreshments after our liturgy and Kathleen Greene will make sure we have coffee and tea, so I hope you can stay a bit afterwards and visit with everyone.
It would be helpful if someone would like to volunteer to bring forward the gifts before communion. And we will also need someone to carry the processional cross during our entrance rite and during the recessional. The cross is a gift to us from Sr. Kathleen and the Sisters of the Holy Names, and we are honored to have it available for our Masses.
I look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
Christ's peace be with you,
Toni

Sophia Christi Community officiated by Toni Tortorilla, and new "catholic community" Lumen Christi officiated by Sandra DeMaster are names of the Women Priests organizations in Oregon.
Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon churches are used for their "mass"/meetings.
Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon churches are used for their "mass"/meetings.
They are supported by the dissident groups Call to Action NW and One Spirit One Call that meet in Catholic Churches.
One Spirit, One Call is endorsed by some priests and allowed to have life in Oregon by Archbishop Vlazny who states in this article, ( AB Vlazny Active Avenue for Dissidents)
"Organizers wrote to the archbishop of Portland, the Most Rev. John G. Vlazny, and told him of their plans. He says he is resigned that "One Spirit -- One Call" would go on.
"I'm not happy about it," he says. "Whenever people are disturbed, it's a good idea to get together and pray. But my job is one that tries to promote the unity of the church, to encourage the church in our evangelization."
He says he has good relationships with women in the church. "I've tried my best to treat people with fairness." He understands that the women behind the Portland event have a list of grievances, but he thinks "ordination is at the bottom of it all."
"I have no authority to change that." The Catholic Church does not ordain women to the priesthood. "No other bishop, not even the pope can change that," Vlazny says." (VOCAL wonders, would he change it, if he could?)

This mentality in the Archdpdx hierarchy has bankrupted us monetarily and threatens Oregon Catholics spiritually. There is not a feeling of protection for our souls or our funds.
"Roman Catholic Womenpriests reject the penalty of excommunication issued by the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith on May 29, 2008 stating that the women priests and the bishops who ordain them would be excommunicated latae sententiae.”
Although they know the just decree of God that all who practice such things deserve death, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. Romans 32
