Prayers for Catholics.

Hoping the break from Rome with the creation of a new American Catholic Church comes to fruition.

Would you pleas explain what you mean by that? If you mean what I think you mean (ie that an "American Catholic Church" form after the model of, say, the Anglican Church), then I say to Hell (literally) with your hope.

Why? So the dissenters, heretics, and liturgical experimenters will have a home and leave the faithful Catholics in peace?

Any "new American Catholic Church" would be Episcopalianism with bad music and ugly churches within a generation. That's hardly what the world needs.

Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

There is only one universal (= catholic) Church. Any soi-disant "American catholic church" that might be formed would be by definition outside of the one Catholic Church -- and would be, therefore, no church at all.

Thanks for the prayers.

What are you praying for......an Americian Cafeteria Church?

Where we can just choose what we like, and disregard the rules that we don't.
That sounds like what most of the Catholics I know do anyway.
