Catholic Action Network Joins Call to Action

In predictable fashion, Catholic Action Network, a local, rather insignificant, group has aligned itself with another dissenting group, Call to Action. What is surprising is that it took so long for this small group of imposters of the faith to join CTA.

Since CAN's current emphasis these days are the promotion of homosexuality as a moral good and of women's ordination as a "right", its affiliation with known groups of malcontents, dissenters and heretics isn't really 'news'. It is, rather, worth noting that this group - adamantly opposed to the teachings of the Church, especially with respect to homosexuality and Holy Orders - still uses the name of "Catholic" when, in fact and in deed, it is anything but.

Previously, Archbishop Burke had reminded this group that it should refrain from using the name "Catholic" since it has rejected many of the Church's teachings. But such usurpation of titles or names is to be expected from those engaged in the practice of deception. Archbishop Burke, in responding to a letter from a CAN member, states:

With regard to the Catholic Action Network for Social Justice, I do not believe that it is proper for the Network to use the titled “Catholic.” I have reviewed the materials on the website for the Catholic Action Network, and find several of them to be contrary to Church teaching and discipline. If it is the intention of the Network to remain Catholic, then the mission of the Network must be purified of those elements of dissent from Catholic teaching and practice.

There may be a sign of hope, though. There is a job opening as "Program Director" for CAN...It may even be possible for a truly faithful Catholic to "infiltrate" this nest of dissent and attempt to "purify" it of its "elements of dissent from Catholic teaching and practice."

The requirements of this "Job Opening" are here. Nowhere does it state that one should be "Catholic"...however, it would appear that being a material heretic would be considered a priority for obtaining the position.

If you can't send them a resume, then perhaps, you can include them in prayers for those in need of conversion...
