Perhaps Arab Spring will make its way to the Vatican. As the linked article points out, the group was told that protesters are not allowed in the Vatican. When the group dropped their signs, they were told that women wearing vestments was a protest, therefore, only Fr. Roy could proceed, since he was a "real" priest. After Fr. Roy stated that the women were legitimately ordained priests and need to accompany him, the police arrested Fr. Roy, a woman priest, and the translator. It is unclear if they will actually be tried.
Many thanks to Fr. Roy and the many brave women priests. This public stance against the Vatican is wonderful.
A Faithful Catholic
