Catholic Church does not allow women to be ordained, arguing clergy should be unmarried men in the image of Jesus and his 12 disciples.

Women in Albany , New York , are leading a grassroots rebel movement in support of women clergy.

Around 64% of U.S. Catholics support the idea of women priests.

Around 300 women worldwide have now been ordained within the larger movement.

Streck and Meehan both have doctorate degrees in ministry and have created a process and curriculum for ordination.

The Pope addressed the issue of women clergy in a rare interview with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell earlier this year .
