There appears to be something brewing over with our Catholic brothers and sisters… Quote:This spring, after a three-year investigation, the Vatican’s doctrinal watchdog issued a report questioning the organization’s loyalty to some Church teachings, including the nuns’ lack of outspokenness on issues such as gay marriage, abortion and contraception….
In a Thursday interview with EWTN, a Catholic television network, Cardinal Raymond Burke, prefect of the Vatican’s Apostolic Signatura, warned that the Leadership Conference could be shut down if it rejects the Vatican’s mandate for reform.
“If it can’t be reformed, then it doesn’t have a right to continue,” Burke said, according to LifeSiteNews.com.
“How in the world can these consecrated religious who have professed to follow Christ more closely … be opposed to what the Vicar of Christ is asking? This is a contradiction,” he added.
How is this similar and different than the orginazational tensions of our own church – like with the proposed MTC expansion for example?
Happens all the time… groups split off and return… Mel Gibson is a member of one of these weird splinter groups. Of course, the RCs like to think they are the one and only and original church, which I think is contentious, particularly in relationship to India and the Middle East.
