Giolla Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I live in Rochester, NY and I recently found out about this "church". I guess there was a schism within my diocese. The ordain women as "priests", "marry" Gays. They believe that when they say their mass it is the body and blood of Our Lord. To me this is the greatest form of heresy to date. Just wanted to get you view on this. [url="http://www.spirituschristi.org/index.html"]http://www.spirituschristi.org/index.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 These kinds of schisms have come up repeatedly over the last 2000 years. There are always going to be people who think that their judgments are better than the Church's. I got fooled by one of those kinds of churches years ago, and felt pretty stupid afterwards. I should have known there was something wrong when the Eucharistic Minister hugged everyone and prayed over them. I've got a big brother who works in Syracuse and lives in Skaneateles. I'll have to warn him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingStone Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 A friend of mine has just entered into the diocese of Rochester and is studying for the priesthood. He's told me a few horror stories from the Rochester diocese. He is a very very solid Catholic and will do some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjtina Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 don't they all believe they are "truly Catholic"? I haven't met a schism group that didn't believe they were "truly Catholic". But they are sneaky. Until they say the Pope is the Anti-Christ or something bizarre like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formosus Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 This group is not a schismatic group, as they ordain women. They are a heretical group for supporting the heresy of presbyterial ordination of women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw quite a few parishes there that were a bit flakey, over the years. Their "history" page is like a real-world demonstration of the slippery slope. Man.

[url="http://www.spirituschristi.org/index.html"]http://www.spirituschristi.org/index.html[/url][/quote] Very interesting. After looking briefly at their website, and seeing how members of the church there donate cars and houses to the church in droves leaves me thinking if we are missing something in Roman Catholicism. I look at their mission statement and at their pastors comments and wonder if they can be right. It sounds so good....so perfect......... ..............but is it? When I run into some cult or church or offshoot of Christianity or even some wayeward Catholics, I consder their position for a minute, and ponder. Are they right? Am I wrong? However, there is something that always reminds me of why I stand where I stand. [size=4][b]"So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my church. And the gates of hell will not prevail against it." - Matthew 16:18[/b][/size] For me, it begins there. ---------------- Now playing: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/the+daughters+of+st+paul/track/carol+of+the+bells"]The Daughters Of St Paul - Carol Of The Bells[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url] Edited December 16, 2008 by eagle_eye222001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dairygirl4u2c Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 i doubt they think "you are peter" isn't as equally as applicable to them. but, eagle eye never, imo, one to truly consider views in opposition to traditional catholic apologetics.

Giolla Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 They were part of a church called Corpus Christi. But when the priest started to marry Gays Ordain women they were Excommunicated. I think for the most part the DOR is fine but we like everywhere else are struggling to ordain new priests. Luckily we have 5 guys in seminary and a bout 10 guys (including yours truly) who are either looking into it or studying to become a priest. From what I can see they are a group great Orthodox guys so it looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
