Elizabeth Jane via

Elizabeth Jane Via is a California lawyer and one of the "womenpriests" of the Roman Catholic Church. Due to her role advocating for women clergy in the Roman Catholic Church, she is causing great controversy among church members.

While practicing in San Diego, California, Via has been involved in notable cases:

Albert Raymond Carder serial child [...] case:

• San Diego Superior Court Case CR107219 filed on September 19, 1989
• San Diego Superior Court Case CR116482 filed on September 20, 1990
• San Diego Superior Court Case SCD100543 filed on September 15, 1994

Alicia Wade [...] case:

• San Diego Superior Court Case CR120451 filed on February 28, 1991

Via is presently an attorney with the San Diego District Attorney's office.

As a self-proclaimed practicing Catholic female priest, she is in violation of the Catholic Church's ban on female clergy.

Via has attempted to speak on the topic of women in the priesthood at public gatherings, but at times her invitations to speak are revoked.
