I just came across an article in the New York times about the meeting set to take place next week at the Vatican with the American Cardinals. I was appalled to read that Cardinal Mahony wants to discuss women's ordination. I don't see how this meeting in Rome will accomplish much good when at least one of the Cardinals is a heretic. Here's a quote from the article:

This is very telling about the current state of the Church.

Another American cardinal, Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles, said in an interview today that he would be pushing Pope John Paul II and other top church officials to consider changing centuries of church doctrine to permit priests to marry and women to be ordained.
Cardinal Mahony stopped short of endorsing the changes, saying only that he felt the time was ripe for an open discussion of the issues at the highest levels of the church.
"It's not a panacea that you have married clergy or women clergy," he said. "At this point, I'm a proponent of the discussion. I want to hear a lot more."
