Kathy Sullivan Vandenberg 'Takes Five'
In this page two interview feature in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Tom Heinen talks with

Mr. Heinen asked for "official" reaction.
No word if that means a real recantation or a pretend recantation, like that of Fr. David Cooper.
Kathy Sullivan Vandenberg, 64, a member of St. Mary Parish in Waukesha, is one of eight Roman Catholic women who expect to be ordained as priests Monday in an unofficial ceremony the Vatican considers invalid.
Catching up on news that hadn't made the paper before
Vandenberg was unofficially ordained a deacon a year ago on a riverboat that blurred jurisdictional lines by going down the St. Lawrence River in Ontario to the U.S.-Canadian border.
Mr. Heinen asked for "official" reaction.
(An archdiocesan spokeswoman told the Journal Sentinel on Friday that Vandenberg has had a "time of discernment" and that her case will be forwarded to the Vatican if she goes through with Monday's ordination and does not recant.)
No word if that means a real recantation or a pretend recantation, like that of Fr. David Cooper.
Update: Diogenes at Off the Record notes it was all very cordial.

I'm a parishoner at St. Mary in Waukesha. I had no idea this woman considers herself a deacon. I seem to recall her serving as lector not too long ago, certainly within the last year. She comes to Mass with her grandson, who used to sit and play video games on his little handheld gizmo. He pays no attention whatsoever to Mass. If her description of the Archbishop's response to her is accurate (ie, not talking about what would happen if she attended the "ordination"), then I am very disappointed.

As a service, I have unpacked some of the Canon Law about this matter. Sadly, it just goes to show how little Archbishop Dolan is willing to do to aggressively defend the integrity of the Church.
