What's next? *How-to-Make-Yourself a Priest for Dummies* (it wouldn't be for anyone else)?

> A French woman defied a threat of excommunication by the Roman Catholic Church and held a ceremony proclaiming herself a priest on Saturday.

> In a small ceremony on a boat, Genevieve Beney was joined by other women from around the world who have taken similar dramatic action to draw attention to the church's policy against women priests.

> "This is not a rupture with the Roman Catholic Church," Beney said in a statement read aloud before she boarded the boat. "If there is a rupture on my part, it is with a situation that I consider to be obsolete and unjust to women." . . .

> In 2002, seven women from Austria, Germany and the United States conducted an ordination ceremony and were promptly excommunicated from the church.
