Brenda Lee who claims she is a religious columnist wanted to give President Obama a letter supporting traditional marriage was detained and later released.

A self-proclaimed Catholic priestess from Anaheim was removed from a press holding area at Los Angeles International Airport Thursday morning minutes before President Barack Obama was scheduled to arrive.
Brenda Lee, 58, of Anaheim, was carried off by airport security after she refused to leave the area, saying that she wanted to hand the president a letter denouncing the California Supreme Court for deciding Tuesday not to annul gay marriages in the state.
Lee was dressed in a cassock.

In a phone interview, Lee said that she is a Catholic priestess "with St. Juliana's in Fullerton," and that there are 60 other Catholic priestesses worldwide.
Father Paul Gins of St. Juliana's said that Lee is a member of the parish and a "well-meaning person," but that "she does not represent the church. We do not recognize women priests, and haven't for 2,000 years.

Lee said that her duties as a minister involve consecrating the host, and ministering to the disabled and elderly in convalescent homes.
She called the White House to request credentials for Obama's arrival, citing her involvement with the Georgia Informer, an independent black newspaper in Macon, Georgia.
At LAX this morning, Lee asked a Secret Service agent to take her letter to President Obama after learning that the president wasn't scheduled to take any questions at the appearance.

she is by no means "well - meaning person", more like delusional.

2. It's still the first that I've heard of it. Thanks.

Crazy is as KA-RAY-ZEE does. And yet, I don't think her political/social/whatever policy statements would have tipped her off as much as the cossack robe. DING. DING. DING. I don't know if she had an opportunity to see the new Terminator/Salvation movie. I'm going to be kind and believe she did, but left early on because the sound was too loud.

3. Why is this getting press instead of the latest torture

revelations?

4. Because a rightwing-pliant MSM absolutely salivates over perceived anti-Christian incidents...

...ESPECIALLY if they involve Democrats/liberals in any way, facts be damned. Been in this country long? ;)

5. A "Priestess" of the Catholic Church

is just as valid to the Vatican as Gay Marriage.

6. Thank-you...

I was just wondering since when the Holy Male-Domination Catholic Church allowed lowly vagina owners to become equal participants.

Sorry.....ex-Catholic checking in.
