One of the stories of the last day or so was that of the newly restored frescos in the Catacombs of Priscilla. It seems, according to a group seeking the ordination of women, these frescos depict women priests and so the Pope must ordain women.
Well, the Vatican has responded by calling the group's claims "fairy tales", and to be honest I think that was too kind. For a good examination of the frescos and what they really depict, I refer you to Fr Z who has written most eloquently what I would express quite poorly.
Let us not forget that when it comes to certain groups looking for unorthodox change, anything will do to push the cause regardless of whether it is true, rational or sane.
