The Southern Province of the North American Old Catholic Church calls on bishops of the Roman sect to abandon their devisive and hate-filled attitude toward lesbian and gay people. The Roman bishops began a meeting on Monday (11/16/2009) in Baltimore, MD, and are expected to issue a major "pastoral letter" against equal rights for gay people.
"It is like they are telling their brothers and sisters: Thou Shalt Not Love," says Archbishop Wynn Wagner, the Regionary Bishop of the Southern Province USA of the North American Old Catholic Church (NAOCC). "They have forgotten the message of love, in their rush toward a notion of post-modernism."
The North American Old Catholic Church has called the month of November a Month of Prayer for those hurt by the Roman bishops' actions. The Old Catholic Church -- being closer to the ancient teachings of Christ -- does not consider gender or sexual orientation to be an impediment to any sacrament, including ordination and marraige.
"We call on adherents of the Roman sect to ignore the pronouncements of the later-day Pharisees," the archbishop continued. "They certainly don't speak for traditional Catholicism. Remember to pray for those bishops and those they hurt."
Thank God you're not describing His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.
A 24/7 robe.
A 24/7 anti-Catholic fetish.
That is not how you were corrected. You are still posting duplicitously and the RM told you to stop.
Have you been appointed (self-appointed?) thread monitor?
Sorry but you are not a “Catholic” church!
Who cares, beyond, perhaps, yourself? The Old Catholics trace themselves to their separation from Rome over Vatican I, in 1870. They have had a lineage of priests and bishops utterly unrelated to Catholic hierarchy since that time. Over the 140 years of their existence, they have, in turns, had their own episodes of schism from their original group. That some small subset of Old Catholics has splintered off from their lineage as recently as 2007 certainly doesn't surprise me. In that, they are not at all different in their habits than their Protestant cousins, who have been "blessed" with similar splintering propensities since their break with Catholicism dating from 1517.
So many RC denominations it's difficult to keep track.
As I just said, these people have long since parted from any connections with the Catholic Church. They are most definitely not an "RC denomination," and would doubtless chafe at the thought, given just their whinings chronicled in this very thread.
You should embrace these people, even if they go in for wearing popish-looking clothes. In their basic tendencies toward schism and "evolving" confessional stances, they are more akin to you than to us. You can have 'em!
I agree.
See where your type of duplicitous posting leads?
You wrote:
“Another Roman Catholic denomination.”
Logically impossible. Nothing Catholic can be a denomination. And if something is “Roman Catholic” then there can’t be another thing that is also Roman Catholic but different while claiming to be the same thing.
when quoting with alterations what another Freeper has posted it is necessary to make the alteration clear.I am making an earnest effort to "make the alterations clear" by ending italics (a method to indicate what is quoted) and by further emphasizing the end of italics through the addition of bold.You might use HTML to cross through the original words and follow them with your own.
Or you might show what you believe it ought to have said in brackets or parans, e.g. "Ratzinger [Pope Benedict] ..."
Italics indicate what is quoted. Non-italicized text is what I corrected.
At least they still have that right until Ratzinger's "global authority" is instituted.
I don't correct you that often, Dr.
Close, but not that often.
“Everyone else understands it.”
Like anyone cares! LOL! It’s hillarious reading anonymous BBS posts from people touting their credentials as though their bona fides matter.
So why did you complain?
No thanks. Bible-believing Christians have little in common with another Roman Catholic denomination.
None of which has anything to do with the topic of this thread.
As you pointed out from the Religion Moderator...
Or you might show what you believe it ought to have said in brackets or parans, e.g. "Ratzinger [Pope Benedict] ..." You might use HTML to cross through the original words and follow them with your own.
"cross through the original words and follow them with your own..."
Or...
"...in brackets"
You did neither.
Follow the rules, if you can.
Wilson was indeed a fascist and a calvinist (the two go hand-in-hand, as calvinism is islam Version 2.0). He was also a bitter, hard-core racist segregationist, introducting segregation to Washington, DC during his calvinist fascist regime.
In this way, he was just like the racist, segregationist founder of the OPC (which has fewer members than the various nutty Old Catholic sects), Machen, also a hard-core segregationist racist.

I’ll wait for the RM, rather than a self-appointed hall monitor.
Would you like a binkie while we wait?
Wilson was a segregationist too?
I didn’t know.
The stench of Orthodox Calvinist racism carries far.
