„The Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests (ARCWP) and the Christian Community ‚Home Novo‘ invite everyone to the ordination of Christina Moreira Vázquez as bishop .“ This is the wording of the invitation that is beginning to circulate, announcing a unique event (at least in Spain): the consecration of a woman as a bishop.

Because the association to which Moreira belongs as a priest already has several foreign bishops ordained with apostolic succession, including the three who will transmit it to the Spanish bishop: Bridget Mary Meehan, Gisela Forster, and Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger.

Apostolic succession  is the belief that bishops are successors of the apostles, receiving authority and grace through episcopal ordination. Apostolic succession is transmitted, therefore, through episcopal ordination, where an already ordained bishop (in this case, three female bishops), through the laying on of hands and prayer, transmits to a new bishop the apostolic ministry and the powers necessary for its fulfillment, thus ensuring the uninterrupted continuity of the Church’s mission from the apostles to the present day.

The three ARCWP bishops were validly ordained, and now they will do the same with Christina Moreira . The objective of this ordination, as explained in the invitation to the event, is  „to transmit apostolic
succession within the framework of a circular and inclusive Church, so that it may, in turn, accompany and ordain women called to serve open communities where all people are welcome.“

The episcopal ordination will take place on June 24th, at 4:00 PM, at an unspecified location . „Near Compostela“ is all that the invitation says. The location is being kept secret to avoid the presence of potential individuals who, for their ideological or other reasons, might try to disrupt the event.

Therefore, to be able to attend it is essential to register by Christina Moreira, luz.galilea2025@gmail.com. And then, they will be informed of the exact date of the celebration.“  The ordination of female bishops in Spain must remain clandestine. Until when?

Dr. Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP
