You folks sure no how to pick 'em :)
M.E. Morrison was "ordained" in California in a Protestant church (Ebenezer Lutheran Chirch) by Thaddeus Alioto, a married man claiming to be a bishop (because he had been "consecrated" a bishop by Wallace David de Ortega Maxey).
De Ortega Maxey had been "consecrated" numerous times by various North American Old Catholic bishops (whom even the Old Catholic Churches in Europe deny have valid orders). De Ortega Maxey also *claimed* to have been consecrated by Antoine Aneed.
Aneed's story is that he was consecrated a bishop by a RC Eastern Rite bishop in Syria and sent to America. Both the Vatican and the Syrian Patriarchate involved denounced the story as a fabrication.
If you have any doubts over the veracity of my statements as to where Morrison got "ordained," just ask his fellow "independent" priest, Merril Adamson. He was "ordained" in the same ceremony. I've a written statement from him confirming the fact.
This is important not because of anything Morrison states on the internet, but because he dresses up his statements as coming from a RC priest.
Even the devil can quote Scripture.
Anyone e-mailing to Morrison's list a request for the facts of his claimed ordination will be dropped.
It never ceases to amaze me how sedevacantists can be so cock-sure JP II is a fraud, yet swallow hook, line and sinker any number of bogus clerics; just because the frauds sing the music sedes like to hear.
*Years ago I joined Traditio and made the boldened request. I was dropped from the list immediately. I felt so rejected :)
Thank you for that. Excellent information.
Although conversing with you is always a little slice of heaven, and it is terribly difficult to tear myself away, I must. Buh-bye!
Dying extra ecclesia is never happy. But, that is what free will is all about. Have a profitable Advent
So all those who died with Extreme Unction as a sacrament, during the previous nineteen hundred and seventy plus years were unhappy? Or, only those during the last thirty some years who received the traditional sacrament rather than a "sacrament of the sick"?
'The answer to both question is yes. I would be hesitant, however, to having the extraordinary minister of Communion, rather than a priest, break the host.'
Theres no prohibition from breaking the host by Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (the correct title). I have done it myself during mass when the lines are long and supplies of the Body of Christ are running low. The practice is not encouraged and should be done only in unusual circumstances. The first route should always be to seek additional hosts from another EMHC or the priests or deacons.
When taking Communion to the sick or infirm, the host may be broken into as small a piece as needed. The remaining pieces of the Body of Christ should then be consumed by the EMHC according to the normal regulations of Communion.
