Hello ByzCath
Thankyou so much for you non arrogant engouring comments they are of a great help to me .
Do you think i mentioned Miles Jesu in a vocation forum because i wanted to slate them and badmouth them No because what i found in there website made me want to find out more about them.
Forgive me ByzCath for doing a reserch on google and
Catholic.com to find out more about Miles Jesu.
I do not think anyone here has any personal experience with Miles Jesu . Why ?
I know you linked other threads to this posting but I do not feel like sifting though them ?
What OK ?
I know you are a great commentary for
Catholic.com you have over 6000 posts and i enjoy your posts but to be honest i coudnt care less you should learn some manners.
Since when i give up my lift to Jesus Christ i want to know beyond a fact that it if for him and him alone and not an order who has ran a way from the Pope and Church teachings. Since you say you obvisuley cant be borthered to sift trough links then i will add them to this thread .
While I was there I quickly became aware of some strange and illicit practices. One was that you were assigned a spirtitural director who you had to confide in and if he felt it was necessary he would share your conversations with the Father General and others. This is clearly against canon law. They also did not coordinate with the archdiocese. They would bring in a bishop from outside to do their ordinations without notifiying the chancelory office. This is against common protocol. There were several other irregularities in how they conducted themselves in the Church. In one incident they needed to pick up some donated food (they don’t purchase food for their members. It’s all donated.) There wasn’t a priest available to go, so they put one of the lay brothers in a roman coller and had him go out to get the food. He was impersonating a priest. I know this because I was the one who went with him.
To warn someone to stay away from such a group is an act of charity especially when the Church authorities such as the Vicariate of Rome are doing nothing about it. All of the proper channels have been exhausted. Even the Catholic Encyclopedia will tell you that in this case, since it is the matter of protect of people who can potentially get deceived into joining MJ, it is not detraction. You would think differently if you lost up to 25 years of your life in this group and cannot even get a job at McDonald’s due to the bad economy.
Miles Jesu the following abuses: manipulation of possible recruits to join Miles Jesu, financial dishonesty, practices against Canon Law such as non-confidential spiritual direction, not providing all members with adequate health care/insurance, Miles Jesu’s teaching that one’s salvation strictly depends on joining Miles Jesu, it’s prohibition of many members to pursue higher education, it’s appointment of a Vicar Directress over the women’s branch with no formal education in theology or Canon Law, sexual abuse, and various other abuses that show Miles Jesu has cultic qualities.
I witnessed Miles Jesu in Chicago first hand lost a friend who I believe was manipulated into becoming an MJ. While I respect his faith decisions, I believe he was lured and brainwashed into becoming a “consecrated lay member” MJ is “frightening.”
.
Now have i not a right to challenge Miles Jesu
