These "commitment notices" are from the Weddings and Ceremonies section of the NY Times.

People write the articles themselves, and submit them.

I was shocked to see it myself, as I am fully aware of the Roman Catholic Church's position.

How do these "priests" get away with it.? Have they been ex-communicated?

As to the ceremony in NYC, Cardinal Egan, like Cardinal O'Conner would not permit it either.

Martin Luther was also a Catholic priest who continued to serve Mass. How long soes one need be out of the Church for the New York Times to stop refering to them as Catholic?

Sure he's Catholic. He's faking it.

Well, as long as they have the cool vestments, the incense, the candles, the wine and the bread, that's close enough to count as "Catholic" for them. The outward trappings, you know. Style over substance.

This is not an accusation lobbed at the Roman Catholic Church, but I wonder... are there any cases of sexual molesation in the American "Catholic" Church?

Just because the media does not trumpet them nationally, does not mean they don't occur. School teachers and UN officials have also been caught molesting many victims with coverups by their employers.

Just wondering...

That title threw me off. I thought they were real Catholic priests, in which case, this would be a more important story.

It is performance art.

Perhaps they should have seen if they could get the NYTimes to list a commitment article on Commitment To God or to a racing car or to a cat (we cannot subjugate pets any longer!).

I never heard of the "American Catholic Church" and Catholics have Fathers/priests, not reverends.

It's a phony pagan religion trying to mimic the original Catholic Church, which is just what Satan would do.

is it just me with her mind in the gutter, or is Rodney (Rod) Harder a terribly unfortunate name for a sodomite?

Just Wondering huh???

I hope you equally wonder about all the Teacher sin Public School that have been molesting kids for many years. Are the Schoold Districts held to task, are the Superintendants... Nope. They just let it pass...

You see when the pedophiles can focus on one group such as the Church, that leaves all their other prey open to stalk, IMHO. pretty clever huh?

I'm sure their Religion editor of the New York Times knows the difference between the American Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church, and I'm betting he wasn't consulted about this headline. It's nothing but a "Pride Week" bitch slap of the Archdiocese by the nancies at NYT.

"David A. Murphy, a priest of the American Catholic Church in the United States"

This guy isn't a Roman Catholic priest.

He/she/it is a homo.

New York Times article misleading -- this has nothing to do with the Roman Catholic Church.

THANK YOU!

No, they're not.

They're fake, fraud and phony "priests."

American Catholic Church is a phony organization and is NOT the Roman Catholic Church.
