How Did the Archdiocese Find Out?

For this post to make much sense,I'm afraid I shall have to quote the article that appeared in "The Catholic Spirit," the official publication of the Archdiocese of Minneapolis/St.Paul. I don't know when it appeared.



OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Catholic Coalition for Church Reform

It has come to the attention of the Archdiocese that a group calling
itself the Catholic Coalition for Church Reform (CCCR) is planning a
2010 'synod' in the Archdiocese entitled, 'Claiming Our Place at the
Table'.

While the agenda for the proposed synod purports to be an exploration
of the role of baptized Catholics within the institutional Church of the
Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, it is not being conducted
under the auspices of the Archdiocese, the universal Roman Catholic Church,
or any entity or organization affiliated with the Archdiocese or the universal
Roman Catholic Church.

The Archdiocese wishes it to be known that the Catholic Coalition for Church
Reform, the 2010 synod, and individuals endorsing the same, are not agents or
entities of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis or the Roman Catholic
Church.. Moreover, the Archdiocese wishes to lovingly caution those members
of the faithful participating in the 'work/study groups' and intending to
attend the synod of the potential that the issues on which CCCR will seek
reform are magisterial teachings of the Church, and are therefore to be
believed by divine and catholic faith. The Archdiocese also wishes to
remind the faithful of its need to shun any contrary doctrines, and instead
to embrace and retain, to safeguard reverently and expound faithfully, the
doctrine of faith and morals proposed definitively by the magisterium of
the Church.


Attending will be pricey, but I will be there. End of post.

  1. Hmmmm! REFORM!!!! "Lovingly Caution" Ooooohhhh! Old Baguette, I'll check with Charon and see if I can reserve you the seat next to me. Window or aisle? I understand that Lutheran Hell is next door to Catholic Hell, so we will be able to have chats at the fence.
