Unfortunately it is the liberal, pro-gay parish frequented by Nancy Pelosi. But it’s a start. Being a “welcoming inclusive community” I wonder if they will make her observe the waiting period after a divorce to return to Communion? Did Tom (an ex Jesuit seminarian) and his first wife (Catholic Nicole Kidman) ever get their marriage annulled? If not, then a ligamen can be easily obtained by Katie in a few weeks.

Hopefully she will eventually get into a more orthodox parish.

Tom a former Jesuit? I can hardly believe it !!! How could he get into that craz Scientology?

Tom and Mimi were married from 1987 to 1990. So I’m not sure what your question is.

Sorry, my question had to deal with the present situation of divorce. What that a valid marriage for the RCC? You know I hardly know those people…

Tom was married to Mimi Rogers before Nicole Kidman. What a tangled mess…

If I recall my Hollwood gossip, Tom Cruise had his marriage to Mimi Rogers annulled because she changed her mind (if it ever was the case) on having children. It was not long after that he got involved with Scientology. 😦

Says the Huffington Post: The church, located on 16th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, is known for inclusive thinking and its welcoming of many gay and lesbian Catholics.

But what is wrong with a church being welcoming of people who are gay?
As stated many, many times on this forum and by the apologists…it is no sin to be gay.

A person has to “register” to go to a Catholic church?

No, you don’t have to register to go. But it helps to be registered in a particular church parish (district) if you want to be married there, have your children baptised there or go to Catholic schools there, for example. Not always required, but it helps.

A bit like a government school may give preference to families living within the local area of that school.

Personally I think she’s mostly registered so that she can sent Suri to a Catholic School in the parish.

How do you know she has registered? This is speculation based on a rumor someone told the Huffington Post. The parish won’t comment on anyone’s registration.

Her known history, as a Catholic, seems consistant with reports that it was done. So I don’t see any issue with it. Obviously the Church rightly treats it as a private issue.

She’s not yet attending as a parishoner, and that may not actually be her intention, but she clearly wanted to send her daughter to a Catholic school like the one she herself went to so has probably registered.
 
In all fairness, every Catholic Church is (or at least should be) “pro gay” in the sense that every Catholic Church is Pro People.

I highly doubt that this Church, being Catholic, is actually pro homosexual activity. If this were the case, then it wouldn’t be a Catholic Church.
 
As one going through Ligamen - - it does not ‘take a few weeks’ - it is a process just as annulment.
 
My ligamen took 3 weeks from when I filed the paperwork until it arrived in my mail box. I had all the paperwork I needed (Divorce decrees, marriage licenses, etc.) The “process” consists of a clerk making sure everything is in order. No interviews, no witnesses, no hearing.

I hope yours gets done soon. It is so liberating to have that confirmation from the Church. I felt like less of a failure: the marriage didn’t work because it was not Sacramentally valid. God couldn’t bless an adulterous union (being married to someone who was divorced is adultery according to Jesus). No wonder we couldn’t make it work no matter how hard we tried.

Yeah, the expression “pro gay” is so stupid that I do not know how to answer when asked about the subject: “Pro what gay?” or “pro gay what?”

How? how? how? can there be a liberal, pro-gay CATHOLIC parish???
 
I don’t think she has offically joined. People said something different. I pray she finds truth. I am glad she is sending Suri to Catholic school

In order to send Suri to a Catholic school, she would have had to register with the Parish, so yeah, that’s probably what she’s done. That’s a great first step to take anyway…
