Ah yes, the word ...Notice that key word: Leniency. Ah yes, the word that can lure. But how does one come out after a while? I am reminded of Pinocchio getting on the boat with many other boys to "Pleasure Island" - "Pleasure" being the luring word. After some time on the Island, the boys discover that their complexions turned to that of the animal many a child reads about - the jackass.<BR/><BR/>For the desire to enter a church falsely represented as Catholic for the sake of leniency, I offer these words:<BR/>HEE HAW! HEE HAW!<BR/><BR/>BMPBrian Michael Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836644567939527991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-1157642295557875772006-09-07T11:18:00.000-04:002006-09-07T11:18:00.000-04:00I forgot to add, that he claims the papal blessing...I forgot to add, that he claims the papal blessing confirms the validity of his ordination.DominiSumushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219325748138519802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-1157642254469054092006-09-07T11:17:00.000-04:002006-09-07T11:17:00.000-04:00Yes, he is the "pastor".

He used to have a church in Attleboro that he called Sts. Peter and Paul. It caused a world of confusion in my diocese.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Here is Roger Durand's wedding site. http://catholicweddings.net/home.htm <BR/><BR/>It really seems like he specialized in doing cheap weddings. Hmmm, costly pre-cana classes, costly annulments and I particularly like how he has made himself a monsignor.<BR/><BR/>I quote:<BR/>"There are no theological or practical differences between this National Catholic parish and a Roman Catholic parish. The major difference is that we practice far more lenient disciplines (that is, man made rules)."<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think validity of sacraments is a HUGE difference.<BR/><BR/>The most appaling of all is the papal blessing which is displayed here. http://catholicweddings.net/marriage.htmDominiSumushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219325748138519802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-1157641061948140192006-09-07T10:57:00.000-04:002006-09-07T10:57:00.000-04:00Thanks much for the heads up.

They are in the process of coming into communion.DominiSumushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219325748138519802noreply@blogger.com
