The Catholic Diocese of the One Spirit

Have you ever seen a strange, swollen, cancer-like growth on a limb or branch of a tree? The kind which grotesquely distorts and disfigures the branch? The one which will eventually be pruned and cast into the fire...?

Based out of Clifton, the Catholic Diocese of the One Spirit bills itself as "a return to the first few centuries of Christianity."

"We are a welcoming church; we honor different denominations," explained Jim Burch, coordinating bishop of the diocese. Recently, this inclusive offshoot of the Catholic Church has been looking for a site to create a "spirituality center." The center would be used as a location for weddings, church classes and services for business travelers.

Diseased...in mind, body and soul...Warped? Probably... Catholic? Hardly...
