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.

Agree with you completely. This is not a Catholic Church with a capital C.

Well, there are certainly a few that are doing that -- Certainly a few more than I can stand. Although, I think in the case of this article, the supposed "Bishop" here was never ordained at all by the Church. These are lay people claiming to be clergy, although the article makes it sound as if they have been properly ordained within the Church (thanks to some crafty wording learnt in best Journalism schools). *Sticking my finger down my throat*

I think the vision is a 'smaller and purer' church. Thankfully, it's helpful when the rotten fruit falls from the tree by itself, that is thes people leave to make something like the ECC, athough I disagree this their use of the word Catholic in the name of their organization..illegal perhaps??

You mentioned the path some of the Protestant denominations have taken. BTW...I think all the various groups of Christians (Catholic/Protestant/Orthodox) have contributed something positive to each other through history, despite any negatives. We should thank each other for that -- for the good stuff. It's about time to put aside the once seemingly large differences and come together, as believing Christians, to stand up to the true threats to our religion. (That's real Ecumenism as opposed to the crap these people in the article are claiming). I mean, do we have to wait until we're hiding out together in the caticones again?? It's getting late.

I'm also an evangelical Christian and I'm frequently concerned / disgusted by this sort of thing. You don't have to be Catholic to know that the RCC is HUGE and provides the way for a great number of people. I think it should concern all of us when these reprobates (homosexers, feminist, and liberals in general) work to undermine the church. If they had their way they'd quickly render it meaningless and ineffective, leaving a billion people to question their faith.

I completely agree with you ... but if this cat is a "Catholic Bishop", I'm the King of Siam.
