abstract
| - Roy Bourgeois (born 27 January 1938 in Louisiana) is a laicized Roman Catholic priest; and an American activist and founder, in 1990, of the human rights group School of the Americas Watch (SOA Watch). Ordained to the priesthood in 1972 in the Roman Catholic Church's Maryknoll society of apostolic life's Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers (The Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America), Bourgeois was canonically dismissed forty years later, on October 4, 2012, from both the Maryknolls and the priesthood, because of his August 9, 2008 participation in what the Church said was the invalid ordination of a woman and "a simulated Mass" in Lexington, Kentucky.
