Vatican Excommunicates Women Ordained as Priests

The Vatican has excommunicated seven women ordained as priests by a renegade archbishop, saying they had "wounded" the Catholic Church.

Okay, let's make sure we're all on the same page here... Serial child rape, that's unfortunate but forgiveable, and really, the rapists are victims too. But women (who, I might add, generally aren't child molesters) trying to have equal status wound the church and need to be excommunicated. What universe is the Vatican located in?
