Chicago conference to focus on exposing, fighting homosexual network
CHICAGO (ChurchMilitant.com) - Watchdog group Roman Catholic Faithful (RCF) is kicking off 2019 with a rally in Chicago against the corruption of U.S. bishops.
On the evening of Saturday, Jan. 5, RCF will host a conference examining "the evil that exists within the hierarchy" of the Catholic Church in America and lay out its plans for combat.
On Wednesday, Church Militant spoke with RCF President and Founder Stephen Brady about the upcoming event.
"It's clear that many, if not most, of the bishops have lost the Faith," Brady said, outlining his motivation for the conference. "They've been covering up for homosexual clergy for decades. They've hurt and scandalized the faithful. Lives are being destroyed and souls are being lost. It has to end. It stops now."
The conference will feature several speakers. Brady will speak on the topic of "Exposing the Corrupt and Godless Hierarchy," examining sex abuse cover-up and how to fight it. His wife, Jo, will address the spiritual battle faithful Catholics face in "The Casualties of Warfare."
Clerical sex abuse survivor Bob O'Donnell will share his account of "Living After My Rape by a Catholic Priest." International children's rights advocate Liz Yore, a featured speaker at the November Silence Stops Now rally in Baltimore, will speak on "The New World Order Pope and Building the Resistance." And RCF attorney James Bendell will tackle how to respond to the corruption of the hierarchy in "Bishops Behaving Badly, and How We Can Stop Them."
The RCF conference is designed to coincide with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops weeklong "prayer and reflection" summit in Chicago; from Jan. 2–9, U.S. bishops will gather at Mundelein Seminary to forge a path forward in the face of what many are calling the greatest.......

It is so hard but it’s the only way. The laity must rise up.
Stand up. Presbyterians of the lineage of John Knox and Matthew Henry and D James Kennedy, where are you? Episcopals on the order of Adam Clarke, stand. Baptists, has the Bible changed?
The RC faithful are beginning to demand accountability for a leadership that is sticking its thumb in their eyes. This is a very necessary thing.
Agreed.
But in the end the integrity of the Church will be restored.
BTTT!
Best News Yet!
Church Militant is just the organic leadership the faithful has been waiting for to push back. No bishops are fighting back. A half dozen cardinals have tried, only to be left twisting in the wind, powerless, in a sea of silence from the West.
Marquess of Queenbury better brace for this one, as we rubes on the ground are riled up for duty.
What’s hard was the doing nothing about anything, anywhere.
The Bible commands us to purge these spiritually corrupt persons from the Church: “Expel the wicked person from among you.” I Corinthians 5:13
As a lifelong Catholic, I don’t have a problem with the theology. I have a problem with the heretics who inhabit the premises.
It has happened before. It was called the Protestant Reformation. Of course the mainstream Protestants also have their own problems.....its called SIN.
The RCC has a governance problem that is mooted when the hierarchy is in reasonably responsible and orthodox hands. But when the hierarchy has been corrupted … well, it's all very well to say that God will sort it out in time and that the ship will eventually be righted, but people live in the here and now, and conscious obedience to corrupt authority is itself sinful when authority demands complicity in sinful actions. This is how the Protestant Reformation began. What we are seeing now is perhaps the most severe crisis the RCC has faced since that time. The hierarchy is on the brink of forcing the faithful out the door. If the unshakeable operational principle of the hierarchy is the protection of homosexuals and pederasts, schism is probably inevitable. Bankruptcy and the loss of much of the church's property may also be inevitable.
They believe they are untouchable.
I’m the same way, the Church is the Church, not the temporary custodians/ heretics occupying it
I have likened it to a small (corrupt) town with one intersection and a four-way stop. If you are one of the town bigwigs, or buddies with the local cop, you get to run the stop sign with impunity. If you are an out of towner passing through, or on the cop's sh!t-list, you're getting a ticket regardless of how completely you came to a stop.
No matter how filthy, broken and corrupt the humans are who administer the stop sign and processing of the tickets, it does not invalidate the concept of having stop signs at intersections and traffic rules. The people in charge need to be replaced. There is nothing wrong with the intersection or the stop sign.
+50 years too late. Catholics all over the world should have rose up against the bishops during and after the Second Vatican Council, when most people still had the faith that was handed down to them. Now, what do they hope to do? - convince the bishops that they’re being bad? Pffft.
These Bishops never had the faith.
They were untouchable, but they did a lot of touching.
Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Patton’s Prayer by Msgr. James H. O’Neill 1944
You got that right. The real issue isn’t corrupt bishops but bishops who lost the Faith ...if they ever had it in the first place.
