As an update to our Sunday post on the San Jose State Roman Catholic women who have been planning on being ordained as priests, we find that the nine have (unofficially) been ordained as priests and deacons aboard a tour boat near Ottawa, Canada.

While seven women other women who were previously ordained in 2002 were later excommunicated, these women have no intention of changing their minds.

“I believe it’s valid even if it’s against the law of the Church, because it is an unjust law,” said Germany’s Regina Nicolosi, who was ordained as a deacon.

There has been no response from the Vatican as of yet.
