A female lecturer at San Jose State University--secretly ordained as a priest by two male bishops--will deliver mass today at the school's Spartan Memorial church. But will anyone know? The lecturer, Victoria Rue, put up some posters, but several of those "were ripped down, and one was defaced with a sticker exclaiming, 'This is an invalid Roman Catholic Mass,' " the Daily Spartan reports. The mass starts at 5:15 p.m. "Everyone is welcome," Rue says, "even the person who is taking down the posters."
