What a title for this garbage, eh? Faithful to who, exactly!?! For cryin out loud, the guy had 3 marriages...The only thing these people seem faithful to is themselves...(Themselves being American Sodomites) The tile should read "Faithelss and Not Traditional Catholics".
FYI .. The article goes on to highlight the bogus 2001 "ordination" of the woman from Rochester, NY diocese. Apparently her parish priest was canned (hopefully for heresy if what the article says is true), whereby she thought she'd take his place.

Wow...the msm has finally decided to pay serious attention to faith in America huh?
Flannery O'Connor wrote a great story about an athiest who starts "The Church Without Christ." That wouldn't even work as fiction today. Some crank does essentially the same thing, and he's the star of the LA Times.
Then again, my local rag plastered the "Religion" section with Davinci Hoax hype for weeks, so what else is new.
They left out the part about him teaching people to live in accordance with THE TEN SUGGESTIONS.
"Cramped storefront quarters in a strip mall" ought to tip off even the most dense that this "Catholic" church is not kosher, so to speak......
Being Catholic means being faithful to the Gospel and being part of the universal church. The word catholic is Greek for "universal."
These splinter groups are obviously not Catholic. I won't insult Protestants by calling them Protestant.
Wearing clerical vestments, burning candles and incense, etc. has little to do with being Catholic.
I'm an evangelical Christian and probably should keep my nose out of RCC business, but it is very sad and disappointing to me to see Catholic churches and clerics going down the same road to politically correct ruin that so many mainline denomination Protestant churches have gone down over the last century. Hopefully that can still be nipped in the bud and turned around in the RCC by a firm hand of authority that was lacking in the Protestant denominations.
The media aids these people since they share the same agenda, hurting Christianity and Catholocism in particular.
This is no different than the media taking the stance that the feminists who "ordained" themselves as priests were actually priests from that point on.
All of these people are pretenders of Catholicism in order to hurt the real thing.
This article is so dumb for the LA times to run
He calls himself a Bishop? Who ordained him? He doesnt have Apostolic Succession. It appear he is not even a break away Priest.
Anyone can go to a costume store and buy an outfit or order Priest vestments and play Priest/Bishop
I'm a Christian and this is one of the many reasons I don't belong to a 'church'.
Someone told me to deny myself, pick up my cross and follow Him. But then, He was unmarried, wasn't He?
Check out this link for a thorough catalogue of the weird, whacky "independent" church-people who've all heard the call of .....ahhh.....their inner self, I guess.
Among the illustrious clerics whom we are lucky enough to have been blessed with:
Right Rev. John P. Johnston, ChCStI, Bishop and Religious of the Virtual Order of St. Isidore of Seville; His Divine Grace Daniel Clay, Bishop of the Church Universal and Global (formerly, The Divine Assembly of Holy Prophets) and Religious of the Order of the Mystical Rose; and of course the Most Rev. Dr. Chief Alexander Swift Eagle Justice, Bishop of the Mexican National Catholic Church, Bishop of the Western Federation Church, and a licensed pilot.
And here is the man himself, his Lordship....er....his Loopiness, Bishop Hickman.
The Rev. Mary Ramerman

What an ego.
I love it. "Faithful", but "reject the Pope". Methinks the demonic hold is not on Rome, but somewhere else.
To whom.....faithful to whom!
###"Marriage promotes growth," says Hickman, 50, who has fathered five children, been married three times and divorced twice. "People who've never been married have a hard time knowing themselves."###
We can only pray for his and his family's souls.
