Another Dissenting Organization Supports St Stanislaus

Association for the Rights of Catholics in the Church (ARCC) has written an "Open Letter to the Archdiocese of St. Louis" in which it "invites all in the St. Louis Christian community to unite behind St. Stanislaus parish..."

ARCC is an organiztion which promotes a so-called "democratic" church whereby the people vote for their own doctrine, and support of pluralism ("believe what you want") via a "Constitution" and a "Catholic Bill of Rights." (Vatican II already gave us a Constitution.) Sample "rights" include self-determined divorce and remarriage, contraception, and homosexual relationships. Also calls for elected pastors, bishops, and pope. Part of the task force of the We Are Church referendum. Most members also are members of CTA. Membership draws heavily from ex-clergy, and disaffected nuns.

In effect, what one reads in the "Open Letter" is a call for Archbishop Burke to ignore the laws of the Church by accepting, in an erroneous understanding of the principle of subsidiarity, whatever the St Stanislaus board wishes to do and to accept Marek Bozek as the 'pastor' of St. Stanislaus. At least, that's how I read the letter.
