The Forbidden Call: Women Priests

Released: January 28, 2025Runtime: Language: FR

Documentary

Femmes prêtres: vocations interdites isn’t journalism—it’s feminist activism disguised as a documentary. French filmmaker Marie Mandy follows women claiming a "vocation" to Catholic priesthood, spotlighting ~300 worldwide who’ve undergone invalid ordinations despite Vatican bans. It frames the Church’s male-only priesthood as archaic misogyny, pitting emotional testimonies against cardinals while ignoring Christ’s own choice of male apostles and 2000 years of doctrine. No balance—just selective outrage to push women priests as the "real" calling. The problem? These "ordinations" by breakaway groups like the Danube Seven lack apostolic succession, making them symbolic theater, not sacraments. The film cherry-picks rebels to shame orthodoxy, sidelining thriving female vocations as nuns, theologians, and saints. Watch knowing it’s propaganda for Church overhaul, not fair reporting.
