Our Faith - FAQs
28430 Catholic Church
What is our Faith?
Our Faith is that of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. We Embrace and Believe all the Roman Catholic Church´s Teachings in Doctrine and Dogma, especially, the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Ever Virgin Mary, Her Triumphant Assumption into Heaven, the Dogma of Papal Infallibility, and the Pope´s Supreme Authority over the Church.
However, we do not accept the Roman Catholic Church´s Canon Law in its entirety. Instead, we are more like Saint Francis and his few followers, a few Catholic Priests and Bishops who look to Holy Scripture, Early Church Tradition, and Divine Revelation as our Guide for Shepherding God´s Sheep.
Therefore, we prefer to be accepted as a Western “Uniate” Church, like the Roman Catholic Church has done with the Eastern Orthodox Churches that became “Uniate” Eastern Churches, who are allowed to retain their own Liturgy, Liturgical Traditions, and their own Canon Law, as per se, but still be in Communion with and Subject to the Pope.
Are we Currently Accepted as Members of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, in Submission to the Pope in Rome?
NO! For most Bishops in the Roman Catholic Church, it seems that we are viewed as Enemies of the Church, Schismatics who deserve to be Excommunicated (Punished).
There is not a Single Christian Person in this world, that I would not be willing to Listen To, Talk To, and Embrace as my Brother or Sister in Christ, regardless of their Christian Beliefs.
We would like to be in Submission to the Pope, but before it can happen, the Pope and the Church has to be willing to speak to us.
Think about this: If God is the Author and Driving Force of the Lesser Roman Catholic Church, that we are Shepherding, then God may very well, not allow the Pope or any of his Bishops in the Roman Catholic Church to Accept us or even to get Close to us, for it might Damage what God is trying to accomplish here through this Church. As Archbishop of this Church, my Life is Consecrated to God, and I am only alive on this Earth until God has no other use for me, and not a Moment Longer. I am His Slave, and if God wants me to be Under and in Submission to the Pope, then according to Divine Providence, It Will Happen. If Not, It Won't. Totus Tuus!
Why are we Operating a Schismatic Lesser Roman Catholic Church?
Because in some Cultures, there are Priests and Bishops in the Roman Catholic Church, who contrary to Roman Catholic Law, have abused their Parishoners and caused them to leave the Church. For some of these, God has Called us to go Shepherd these Sheep, to do Damage Control for the Roman Catholic Church, so to speak. In other Cultures, where Christians are hated by Authoritarian Dictators and Governments, we are called to Shepherd Parishoners in Underground Churches.
How do I know that God has Called us to this Ministry?
For me, it was a Miraculous Vocation where God Spoke to me, and in time, the Experience of Many Miracles and a Lot of Grace poured into my Life. I do not expect anyone in this World to understand my Experiences with God. It is Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary that I have made myself a Slave to. They Command me. If at any time in the Future, Divine Providence wants these Ministries to Fail, then they will, If Not, then they will Succeed. After all, Mother Teresa summed it up quite nicely when she exclaimed: "It Is So Simple. If God Wants Something To Happen, It Will, If Not, It Won´t!"
Where do we Operate?
God has called us to operate in some of the Poorest and Most Dangerous Countries in the World, where we Train Priests, and Consecrate Bishops to carry on the Work of God, Especially in Underground Churches, to Help Protect the Faithful and our Clergy in these Morally Corrupt Cultures, from Persecution, Imprisonment and sometimes even Death. Each of our Persecuted and Underground Churches will have their own name in the Country where they exist, and secretly, God has placed them under the Care of the 28430 Catholic Church.
How has God called us to Operate?
God calls us to Shepherd Poor Churches! None of our Priests at this time, receive a paid salary. In fact, we are Worker Priests who must work in this world to support Ourselves and our Ministries. Some of us, however, do receive gifts of Food, Chickens, and Produce during the Offertory of the Mass. Many are Subsistence Farmers who provide for themselves, and their families if they are married.
Our Church does not intend to own any Buildings or Land, and at least 90% of the donations they receive in any given year, are to be used in that same year. A Parish and Parish Council, however, can purchase Land and Build a Church Building. But it will be the Parish that owns it, not the Church Diocese.
Our Church is to remain as Poor as Saint Francis has encouraged us all to do, and our Priests are to live as Poor as the People they Serve.
Does our Church utilize a Married Priesthood?
Yes! Celibacy is a Gift, but it is not for everyone. It is not me who calls Men to serve as Priests, it is God. If God sends us married Priests, then we will use them. Through the internet and email, we can now train Priests anywhere in the World, and almost completely free of any cost. We can also utilize former Roman Catholic Priests who are no longer actively Incardinated by the Church. Just because Canon Law prescribes a punishment for the Roman Catholic Priest who decides he wants to Marry, does not mean that God cannot send him to us, to use as a Priest, Bishop, or eventually an Archbishop, who will seek out Men to train as Seminarians, Ordain them as Priests, and then Consecrate some of them as Bishops, as they continue to plant new Parishes and build up the Church, in the Poorest Countries of the World, in a Lesser Roman Catholic Church.
Yes, we see ourselves as a Lesser Roman Catholic Church. More often than not, once your life is broken, and you submit totally to God, it is then that God can use you more fully. We are Poor Priests, Broken and Submissive to the Divine Will of God!
What about Priests who are Sexually Abusive to Members of the Church?
If we ever found that we have a Priest or Minister that is sexually abusing men, women or children, we will see that he is Physically Castrated, making him a Eunuch for the Kingdom of God. He should then be able to Confess his Sins, do Penance, and still be a Priest or Minister Pleasing to God. This is not a Punishment, though, it is a Loving Act to help him save his soul from Hell. After all, Jesus told us that if we had a part of our body that was causing us to sin, we should cut it off and get rid of it (Matthew 5:30). If this is not an option, he should be removed from Ministry and/or be Civilly Prosecuted and Imprisoned, for if we allow him to continue, WE will be held responsible for “HIS” Sins before God. It is up to us Fellow Christians to prevent him from Hurting Others. (Fighting for Justice and Equity in God’s Sight).
Do we Ordain Women to the Priesthood?
No, we will follow the Lead of the Roman Catholic Church in this area.
How do we Minister to LGBTQIA+ and Same Sex Couples?
We will follow the Teachings of the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church.
Who will be invited to receive the Flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ during Communion in the Mass?
“Any Baptized Christian” from the:
-
Roman Catholic Church,
-
The 2,000+ Protestant Denominations,
-
The Eastern “Uniate” Churches,
-
The Western Independent and Old Catholic Church Rites,
-
And the Eastern Orthodox Rites.
However, if they have committed Grievous Sin, they will be Counseled to seek Confession with a Roman Catholic Priest or another, where they can Obtain Absolution and the Grace to help Avoid Sinning in the Future.
