Episode Synopsis

Fred Bodimer reports on CBS News correspondent Lisa Ling's feature about two American women, Mary Theresa Streck and Bridget Mary Meehan, who are leading the movement for women's ordination in the Roman Catholic Church. Despite being excommunicated, they continue their ministry in Albany, New York, as part of the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests. The report delves into their efforts to challenge the Church's tradition against female clergy and their hope for future generations of women priests. The Vatican and the Catholic Diocese of Albany declined to comment on the issue.
