Organisation supporting female ordination in the Catholic Church

The Women's Ordination Conference is an organization in the United States that works to ordain women as deacons, priests, and bishops in the Catholic Church. Founded in 1975, the conference was seeded from an idea the year before, when Mary B. Lynch asked the people on her Christmas list if it was time to publicly ask "Should Catholic women be priests? " 31 women and one man answered yes, and thus a task force was formed and a national meeting was planned.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
