Well in that case it is just a matter of statistics. I am not sure how many Catholics and Orthodox there are in the United States, but let's say there are maybe nominally 68 million Catholics and maybe 2-3 million Orthodox. If we are to credit the article, there are perhaps 75 "womenpriests" in the U.S. (who by the way seem to think that priests can carry out ordinations...). Statistically, then there should be maybe a couple of Orthodox "womenpriests." But I hope the Orthodox are spared this trial.

Stuart, there are plenty of cafeteria members of the EOC. It is my opinion that, the more educated one is, the more likely one picks and chooses what one believes. I do not know any member the EOc or the RCC that buys every jot and tittle advanced by either church.
