I wonder if the local bishop would be willing to accept the idea of a sole corporation Catholic church “accessory or missionary” and separate from his sole corporation diocesan property?

That is, it would be separate from the diocese property, and thus insulated against any debts or judgments against it, and would have special rules, perhaps with services by “visiting clergy”, or affiliation, but not ownership to a religious order.

A real blend, in other words. Part private chapel, part monastic annex, part church, operated and managed by a board of directors, under guidance from the bishop, etc.

A single wealthy person might be the owner of the private corporation, with the idea that there are not enough regular congregants to support a whole church, but enough so that travel for them would be burdensome.

Separate from... Part church... Insulate against?

God bless you.

In other countries they wait months to see a priest or walk miles to go to Mass.

This is a spiritual problem.

Pray, tithe, volunteer.

It was written that this would happen.
