Sinead Enters Priesthood

Sinead O'Connor has been ordained as the first woman priest in the Roman Catholic splinter group the Latin Tridentine Church, sources close to the artist confirm. Reports that the Atlantic artist would continue her music career under the name Mother Bernadette Mary could not be confirmed by deadline.

O'Connor, who signed a four-album deal with Atlantic last year, is working on an album for release possibly this year.
