Irish Nuns and priests wear gags as they protest against Vatican censorship

[Hopemercy]

Ireland.

Behind all this is the so-called ACP.

Have a look and keep an eye on the Clerical Whispers web site. It is the mouthpiece of ACP and the “revolting” priests and so-called “nuns”.

( NB they claim they are 800; would like to see them prove that figure;l and indeed they are manipulating the media now.)

Read what they have put up there today and yesterday; today even asking if the Holy Father is Christian.

Breaks the heart for our beleagured country,

I was driving through Macroom in West Cork yesterday. Huge street wide banner announcing a Eucharistic Festival this holiday weekend; 40 Hours Adoration.

The real people speak,

To see a Dominican displaying like that … embarrassing.

NB all the trouble is coming from religious orders and not diocesan clergy. Orders that are dying out byt he way with no renewal. God is wise.

It would be in keeping with Canon Law to disband these rebel groups.

I agree.

I pray that the Vatican acts soon. This ACP is just going from one news item to another at the moment. Under-catechised Catholics will think this is the whole body of Irish priests speaking, when in fact we know it is a disobedient minority. I pray that the CDF continues its work and instructs the priests that membership of this organisation cannot continue, or they face being censured. How these learned theologians (many of them are) cannot see that they are hurting the Body of Christ is beyond me. I am praying for the group’s failure, and also praying that the Holy Spirit will inspire us on how to react to this group effectively. I want to shout them down if you know what I mean, but I don’t know how.

I note the ACP are holding an open meeting on 7th May bank holiday to change the catholic church in Ireland? From what I can see of the agenda below, it seems to be toned down from an early representation of the meeting’s objectives, it was more in line of changing the CC in Ireland.

I’ll gleefully take the liberty of dissecting their political correct mumbo jumbo speak:

Goals of We Are Church:

1. Oppose the hierarchy which Jesus Christ founded in Matthew 16:18, and institute presbyters or something similar.
2. Support the Ordination of Women to the Diaconate, Priesthood, Bishophric, and Papacy.
3. Allow women to have abortions, their consciences override the law of God.
4. Support married priests, homosexual priests, and change the Church so that it becomes pro-divorce, pro-adultery, pro-sodomy, pro-contraception, etc.
5. All are welcome to receive the Eucharist. There is no such thing as “sin”, so we’ll be abolishing the Sacrament of Reconciliation. People are never separated from God by any activity… we should encourage them to live however they want to, God will love them no matter what they do. And because of this all people will go to Heaven because of God’s love. All the parts in the Bible about Hell need to be taken out. And let’s put gender inclusive language in there too.

I have only one thing to say to all of this: get out of the Church and become an Episcopalian or a Presbyterian. Get out of the Church. If you can’t be obedient, get out of the Church. These aren’t Catholics, they’re heretics.

Great post. I was going to do it, but knowing the posters here I anticipated someone translating thier agenda.
