Catholic feminists in Western Europe are mounting an open “revolt” on March 1 demanding the ordination of women, while asserting that the creation of female priests is “only an interim solution” to their ultimate goal of abolishing the hierarchical priesthood.

Jesus broke with all hierarchies and would not “even want to build a priesthood,” says Lisa Kötter, co-founder of German über-feminist movement Maria 2.0.
