Joan Hoak was ordained as a Catholic Priest year ago by the Roman Catholic Women's priest movement. They will be ordaining two more women this week too. This is all in the face of opposition by the official Roman Catholic church, which doesn't recognize the ordination of women. Weekend America Reporter John Moe speaks with Hoak about what the experience of being ordained and also unrecognized means to her.
