holy oils used for Easter services. Chrism masses are good opportunities to showcase the inequality since every male priest attends, said Nicole Sotelo, director of communications for Call to Action, a national Catholic movement that focuses on justice and equality in the church. She said that makes it easy to notice the lack of women ministers. One reason for the nationwide protest vigils was to show support for Father Roy Bourgeois, a priest from Georgia who spoke out on behalf of women’s ordination in 2008. In March 2011, Bourgeois received a letter from his church leadership telling him to either recant his stance or be forced out of the Catholic priesthood. xx SEE ORDINATION, PG. 43
