CWN Editor's Note: A retired Mexican bishop is under fire for celebrating Mass with a female Anglican cleric beside him acting as concelebrant.
Bishop Raul Vera Lopez defended his action by praising the social activism of Rev. Emilie Teresa Smith. He said: ““Not only does she work with the poor, she has a parish, has a theological background, she is a writer, she is ready to participate in a meeting of the United Nations and with God’s people around the defense of our Mother Earth.”
