The most visible dissenting group which is a movement of laity and religious seeking to reform the “sinful structure” of the “patriarchal” Church. One could call them the “mother of all dissenting groups” - feminist pun intended. CTA is infamous since its 1994 conference coverage on the CBS news program 60 Minutes. CTA promotes dissent against Church teachings on a broad front, including women’s ordination, homosexuality, creation spirituality, married priesthood, and liturgical reforms, while incorporating new age and Wiccan spirituality. Bishop Bruskewitz excommunicated those that belong to this group in his Diocese. Many members belong to local groups called “small faith communities.” Renew 2000 also promotes small faith communities. Membership draws heavily from former clergy, feminist nuns, and homosexuals.

It sounds like these guys:bigyikes:

😦 and thats to put it lightly!
There are just to many things wrong in these pictures!
 
Patriarchal is another denigrating term promoted by feminists who cause division between men and women. Dissenters typical usage of Patriarchal is to simultaneously attack the all-male priesthood and the hierarchical nature of the Church leadership. The former is viewed by feminists as an affront to women since their self-proclaimed ‘right’ to “priestess-hood” is being ‘oppressed.’ The Church teaches infallibly that the priesthood is a male-only role because Jesus Christ is male and the priest acts “in personna Christi” which means in the very person of Christ. Of course the feminists are pursuing the ‘female christ’ called “SophiaChrist.” The latter attack against the hierarchical nature of the Church is to push a “democratic version” of the Catholic Church. What is clear is that such dissenters, while spouting the [Spirit of Vatican II](Vocabulary of Terms Commonly Used by Dissenters of Vatican II), refuse to accept the direct teaching of Vatican II in that the Church is hierarchical! Begin with Chapter III #18 of Lumen Gentium or see the shorter subset ["]reference [12]]("Vocabulary of Terms Commonly Used by Dissenters[12) for proof. Many Protestant churches support both women clergy and doctrine by democratic vote - why don’t the dissenters move into those churches?
 
Looks like they got Christopher Lowell to design their “mass”. 🙂 I wonder how the window treatment looked?

But take a look at the attendees. Not a young face among them. As these folks are dying off they are not being replaced. The youth of the Church seem to be much more orthodox.

AMEN!! The minute a program that claims to be catholic but teaches contrary to Church teaching is the moment they have lost thier spiritual credibility and begin to lead people away from God.

Catholic orthodoxy is what this world needs.

This is sick. But sadly it’s typical of much of our Church, even outside the Land of Fruits & Nuts.

Jesus said we would know them by their fruits - The nuts also tell us a lot about them. 😃

Looks like there were some young faces in the 2003 photos. Mostly the same ones.

I have only had one run in with Call to Action types. A Certain Fr. Hugh, who is apparently one of their leaders (or was back in the esrly-to-mid 90’s), joined a mailing list that I was on. Eventually I got tired of his moralizing and pontification and said “you know, I wish you would stop acting as if you owned teh moral high ground”.

He responded by saying “as a matter of fact, I DO own the moral high ground”. He became known as “high ground hugh” until he left the list in a huff. Actualy it was more like a minute and a huff.
