Yes, well, it was unlicensed Catholic ordination of women that was

His Nibs has expressed his displeasure that the Church of England went ahead and ordained woman priests in spite of RC warnings that it increased the distance between the two churches.

I think you are trolling, Alwyn.

Pope: Do you come here often?
Rev. Jane: No, it's my first time. And you?
