Therefore as "Catholics", do these women also believe they will then be transubstantiating bread and wine into Christ's body and blood when they perform the Holy sacrifice of the Mass, as so instituted (along with the all-male priesthood) by Christ at the Last Supper? I doubt it.
The Catholic Church by definition believes in apostolic succession to the priesthood. Because some may wish Christ's instruction would have been otherwise does not make it true.
"Obedience" (to the instructions of Christ and Catholic sacred tradition) is a bad word these days. In fact the concept can enrage some people, especially heretics and cafeteria Catholics. "Bishop" Fresen is another fine example of the problem.
If Fresen wants to start yet another Protestant spin-off, fine, but calling herself Catholic serves only to muddy the definition. Of course that is part of her strategy.
