Catholic Women Approve of DaVinci Code?

Via Sunday Morning Herald:
ON THE eve of the cinematic release of The Da Vinci Code, Australian supporters of women priests have broken with the Vatican's condemnations of the Dan Brown thriller and say the book is truthful in one regard: it reveals the extent of the church's suppression of women.

Women played an essential role in the early church and until the early ninth century it ordained women as priests, according to Marilyn Hatton, president of the Ordination of Catholic Women in Australia...

Please, no more of this. If this movie spawns more cries for female ordination, I'm going to scream. The Church is NOT oppressive towards women. Why would the Church do such a think, when God chose Mary to bear his Son? If women feel the call, why is sisterhood not enough?
