The Ethics Daily website reports today (August 10, 2011) that a Roman Catholic priest -- who has campaigned for the ordination of women -- has been told he will be expelled from his religious order, if he does not publicly recant.
The Rev. Roy Bourgeois was issued a "second canonical warning" on July 27, and told that he would be dismissed from the Maryknoll Order within 15 days if he continues to advocate for women priests and does not recant.
The warning letter -- signed by Maryknoll Superior General Edward Dougherty -- said Bourgeois has "remained unmoved" despite being asked "to consider the effects of your actions on the Society and the Church."
Bourgeois said he will not retract his statements.
