Renegade bishop set to rattle Rome

I seriously doubt that this man is "rattling" those in Rome.

A Roman Catholic Archbishop from Zambia with a colorful history of rousing the Vatican and ties to the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, will once again annoy his bosses this Sunday when he ordains three married men as priests at a church in West New York.

Milingo is lost...evidently, his faith has been lost and his mental faculties are severely diminished.

Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo returned to the United States this July to kick-start his movement, known as Married Priests Now. This weekend he will host a conference at a Sheraton hotel in Parsippany, convening as many as 600 married priests from around the world. On Sunday, Milingo will perform the ordinations at Trinity Reformed Church in West New York. Milingo would have had little luck finding a local Catholic Church to perform the ordinations. He was excommunicated by the Vatican in September after he ordained four married men as bishops, including a priest from Newark. Excommunication renders all of Milingo’s holy activities illegal in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church.

A Clifton resident and coordinator for Married Priests Now, Bishop Dairo Ferrabolli, |is sanguine about the Vatican’s rejection.

“We are Catholic. If the Vatican doesn’t want to recognize us, it’s OK,” he said. “The mother is rejecting the son. What do you want the son to do?”

It's always this way with people like this - they reject the Church and then they claim that it is they who have been rejected by the very same Church which they rejected. What pitiful children.

These people are renegades and imposters. They do not know the truth, much less believe it. May God grant them eyes to see their errors and the grace of conversion and repentance.

“The Catholic Church is becoming a complicated diverse community,” said Stuart Charmè, chairman of Rutgers’ department of philosophy and religion.

“And the unquestioned authority of the Church of Rome is no longer taken for granted by some parts of the Catholic Church in new markets in the third world.

“In some ways it’s a showdown of authority,” said Charmè.

Of course, what we see is nothing more than the rebellion against God and the authority which Christ bestowed on His Church. In a showdown against God, who is the likely loser? Certainly not God.
