Can A Catholic believe in Shaker theology

[Jaxonwelch99]

So I’m really into American history, and one of my favourite parts of American history is studying the shaker community. Now I was wondering because they believed Mother Ann Lee was the Female Incarnation of Christ, would it be blasphemous for a catholic to believe such a claim?

Yes. Yes it would.

Yes it would.

And… the Shakers are functionally extinct because nobody believes that rubbish either.

That and the fact they didn’t believe in sex…

Their furniture and style were nice though

Shaker theology contradicts not only Catholic theology, but basically all of “Mere Christianity” theology, so no, they may not.

Actually, it’s because they’re celibate.

You could still have a steady stream of zealous believers joining. It’s just that nobody’s gonna sign up for that way of life or strange theology.

They used to have people who joined. I think it’s been a long time.
