I know of another "RC deacon" who performs a similar service at a local funeral home. "As an interfaith spiritual care provider, this individual is familiar with all major faith and spiritual traditions including Roman Catholic, Orthodox Catholic, Protestant, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Humanism and other traditions." Similar to Freeman in Fr. Z's post, this individual does not serve in any RC parish. He is an active homosexual with a miserable temper and very short fuse. He should NEVER have been ordained!
Ping!

A schismatic group, "The United American Catholic Church is a federation of interdependent Catholic Churches, offering a progressive alternative to Roman and Anglican Catholicism." "United American Catholic Church is one of many Catholic jurisdictions that have emerged from Roman Catholicism in 1870 ... Rejecting the 'new' Catholicism of Pope Pius IX, the European Catholics established their own churches as 'Autocephalous Catholics' or 'Old Catholics.'" This group dissents against Catholic teaching on a wide basis, including divorce / re-marriage, homosexuality, women / married priests, "Mother God" and the primacy of the Pope, but claim that they are not heretical. Also supportive of Call to Action. |
There's a lot of that going around and not just from the Fishwrap end of the spectrum.
