Archdiocese of St. Paul says ‘reform’ group not associated with Catholic Church

Always happy to inform people about a dissenting goup that is trying to deceive faithful Catholics. Sadly, we have quite a few of them. Let's review the hall of shame:

Call to Action
Voice of the Faithful
Catholics in Alliance (Obama group)
Catholics United (Obama goup)
and the newest member, Catholic Coalition for Church Reform

These groups are NOT in communion with the Catholic Church; they are dissenters who oppose Church teachings.

Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has announced that a group of Catholics planning a “synod” for church “reform” is not associated with the Catholic Church, cautioning the faithful that the group is trying to change magisterial teachings of the Church that all Catholics must believe.

The group, the Catholic Coalition for Church Reform (CCCR) is planning to hold a “synod” at an undisclosed location within the archdiocese on September 18, 2010. The theme will be “Claiming Our Place at the Table.”

On its website, the group explains its “Understanding of Church [sic]” as a “communion of communities” based upon “acceptance.” It professes support for the “fundamental equality of all members,” participation and collaboration, a “dialogical spirit” and a “Prophetic/prophetic sign.”

The website announces a “major fundraiser” for the “synod,” held in Lake Elmo, Minnesota on Thursday, with Maryknoll priest Fr. Roy Bourgeois. The announcement says he will share his perspective on “the social injustices within Roman Catholicism” and will offer a vision of the “emerging church.”

Last year Fr. Bourgeois was excommunicated for publicly dissenting from Catholic teaching by advocating the "ordination" of women.
