Inquirer breaks the "women can be Catholic priests" story a decade early

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

A headline in yesterday's Inquirer, "Female Catholic priest has first Mass," erred in stating unreservedly that Eileen DiFranco was a Catholic priest. The Roman Catholic Church says that women cannot be ordained as priests and that her ordination was invalid. DiFranco was ordained through the organization Roman Catholic Womenpriests, which says the service was a valid Catholic ordination under apostolic succession.

Now, if Pope Benedict does change course on this issue, that will be news.
