Comment on All Catholics are One

This might be true for all non-Roman, but as the Roman Catholic themself by experiences we are nobody.

I was rejected by almost all RC organizations. The one that hurt me the most was the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception (MIC). After spending lots of money, they ignored me when I requested help

Where I am accepted the most is in any chaplaincy or chaplain, that is part of their DNA.

The second is the Marian Movement of Priests, open to anyone who prays to the Holy Mary

You can find all about us in our pages and posts, but here is a brief description:

All Catholic churches, and indeed most Christian churches, profess faith in the “one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.”

We celebrate the seven sacraments:

  1. Baptism
  2. Eucharist
  3. Confirmation
  4. Marriage
  5. Ordination (We preserve apostolic succession through the laying on of hands).
  6. Reconciliation
  7. Anointing of the Sick

The Bible is the inspired Word of God

Prayer is a central part of the daily lives of our clergy, religious, and laity. We offer several public opportunities for common prayer each day. We are devoted to the Liturgy of the Hours.

We share a strong common life, even as we are widely dispersed

We are an Independent Catholic Christian Ministry
