Does the USCCB Support This?

As reported earlier, the USCCB listed the National Call To Action Conference on its November Calendar. Does the very act of listing the event amount to, at least, a tacit endorsement of the agenda?

Down the Road – November Calendar

November 1 All Saints’ Day

November 2 All Souls’ Day

November 3-5 Call to Action National Conference: “Rise Up People of God,” Milwaukee, WI. Contact Linda Pieczynski, (630) 323-6924.

What is the agenda supported by Call To Action and, approved, at least implicitly, by the USCCB? We can learn this from what Call To Action has to say and offer, no doubt with approval from some episcopal leaders:

Call To Action's annual national conference is a celebration of over 3,000 people creating "the church they want to be." Presentations focus around the themes of spirituality, church reform, and peace & justice. The conference liturgy and a variety of daily prayers are often a highlight.
=============================
Spiritus Christi Eucharist
Spiritus Christi Church members, including Rev. Mary Ramerman (pictured), host a Eucharistic liturgy. Spiritus Christi in Rochester, N.Y. is an inclusive Catholic parish known for its outreach to the poor. The parish has taken a stand on ordaining women (Mary was ordained in 2001), gay unions, and welcoming everyone to Eucharist. Sat., 7:30 AM (4.07)

Roman Catholic Women Priests Celebrate Eucharist
Roman Catholic Women Priests invite us to a Eucharistic liturgy in which women, equal and sacred symbols of the Roman Catholic Chuch, celebrate in an inclusive manner the Sacred Meal of Our Faith. They invite us to join them and “discover the future alive in the present.” Facilitating this liturgy will be six ordained R.C. Women Priests, pictured below: Bridget Mary Meehan of Global Ministries University; Eileen M. DiFranco of Philadelphia; Joan Clark Houk of Pittsburgh; Kathleen Strack Kunster, serving a small community in California; Regina Nicolosi of Red Wing, Minn., a nursing home chaplain; and Kathy Sullivan Vandenberg. There are also two ordained R.C. women deacons: Juanita Cordero, a liturgist, and Mary Ellen Robertson, a hospice chaplain. Sun., 7:45 AM (13.07)

A Queer Eye for the Catholic Church
Dignity USA leadership conduct this workshop. Queer eyes see differently. They have a transforming vision. GLBT Catholics have been struggling with rejection and alienation in claiming our identity and place in the Church. The challenges continue. Through it all GLBT Catholics have come to know the importance of incluson, diversity, and the ability to know one's self and each other. They are not afraid to stand up to institutions and authorities to confront injustice. These lessons apply to all who care about transforming the Church. Dignity USA is the nation's largest organization of gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-gendered Catholics and their families and friends. National and local programs promote reform in the Church and offer spiritual and social support. Sat., 1 PM (9.06) & 2:30 PM (10.05)

I Am Calling Both Women and Men to Priesthood: Rise Up and Proclaim This, People of God!
Patricia Fresen describes the Roman Catholic WomenPriests movement that began with the 2002 ordinations of the Danube Seven and has expanded dramatically. It led to her own ordination as priest in 2003 and bishop in 2005. She tells her own story: 45 years a Dominican sister in South Africa and theology professor at seminaries in Rome and her native South Africa, and her expulsion after 45 years as a Dominican sister because she was ordained. Fresen is now coordinator of the RC Womenpriests training program preparing scores of women internationally for ordination. She discusses the program and sketches its hope for the future. Fri. 3:15 PM (2.06) & Sat. 10:15 AM (7.03)

These, my friends, are some of the topics of this conference which someone at the USCCB, in his apparent desire to celebrate a twisted and perverted diversity and a disordered tolerance, posts on the USCCB web site for the faithful to read...And we wonder why Catholics remain uncatechized and ignorant of the Faith...

A call to the USCCB Communications Office about the Call To Action Conference yielded nothing but questions about whether I was from the press, TV, a reporter....I told the woman that I was a Catholic, and that had zero impact....I then told her that I was a blogger and she stated that someone would call back...I presume thatI will get a call back when hell freezes over...

May God permit the cleansing of the USCCB to begin soon so that the damage it inflicts on countless souls might be diminished. And let us not forget to pray for these people that they might be converted.

HT to John V for the conference reminders...
