Service led by women halted after protest threats

THE first Eucharistic service performed by women had to be transferred from All Hallows College last night after more than 30 members of the public objected and threatened to protest outside.

The Vatican has banned women priests and Cardinal Ratzinger has decreed that anyone who thinks it is possible to ordain women priests will be excommunicated.

The group holding the first Eucharistic service performed by women were BASIC Brothers and Sisters in Christ who have been campaigning for the past 10 years for the ordination of women.
