WOMEN OF THE WORLD UNITE

[Peter Angelo]

It is the women of the world who will have to demand the divestiture of the Vatican Bank and the inclusion of women in the human race. If you think Britny Spears is turning your daughters into bi-sexual prostitutes wait until three generations down the road. The pop diva will have to do live porno on stage to compete with Time Warners Porno Empire and keep the ratings up. Pop Snuff can't be far behind.

It is not accidental. Leona Helmsley was upset only because she got raped by the only way the good old boys can rape a wealthy, powerful woman. Convict her for the same behavior they live by. Martha Stewart cut her own throat the second she went public. Wall Street got every dime they were ever going to get from a limited empire with an unsustainable shelf life. Now she is valuable only as a tragic figure and proof that a women will never be an oligarch.

The power of the Vatican is the Vatican Bank and it's ability to operate in secret with no redress. They are sovereign and protected by every government in the world for two thousand years. All church banks operate the same way for the convenience of the tyrants that rule the world by force. They are interdependent to the degree that the symbiotic relationship between church and state is so inter dependant one could not exist without the authority of the other and the ultimate authority given by an invisible God and the faith of good people.

That faith is betrayed on TV everyday. No God worth worshipping would profit from the financing of war machines and the psycopathic serial murderers that rule with them.

The holy trinity is Mother-Father-Child. The holy Ghost is the lie, the Devil.

Anything that does not nurture and protect the family and the family of man is evil by nature. Any system that depends on division, war, terror, and eternal blood sacrifice is evil by nature. Any church that excludes women is afraid of women and their penchant for truth, justice and freedom.

Bush does not read the paper or care about learning. He and Arnold hire people to think for them and implement the rule by terror. I saw a Somalian boy of twelve with a gun in his hand proclaiming that the gun was his mother when he is hungry, it is his father when he needs protection. That is Bush.

The weapon was made in America. He's coming for you.

Michael jackson could suck a thousand baby boners and not do as much to pervert the world as much as Britny Speers and Time Warner Porno distribution. He is being martyred and robbed of his Beatle copyrights. Rule by terror is ugly.

The only hope is for women to understand and make it a priority topic among their women's club. My wife told me before she died. They know what I mean. It's how they survive the terror. They can free themselves now.

My grandfather used to call a woman the "confessor of the night". They rule the world between midnight and dawn.

Start talking. I refer this site to every chat site in the world. The E-Grapevine will strangle the dragon and free mankind from man. Be kind.

THE UNITED CATHOLIC CHURCH
(An Independent Catholic Fellowship)
Ecumenical, Inclusive, and Non-judgmental
A Church Home for the Church's Homeless
Site Updated September 18, 2003

catacombs

We of the independent Catholic movement are Catholic Christians not under the jurisdiction of Rome. We are an outgrowth of the Old Catholic Church in Utrecht, Netherlands. We have not left the Church. Along with all Catholic Christians, we are the Church. Our clergy are validly ordained bishops, priests, and deacons in the Apostolic Succession, and are recognized as such. We are fully Catholic, and we pray for and look forward to the time when once more the unity Jesus prayed for exists. We await that unity (without uniformity) enjoyed by the early Church. Though incorporated as a church, we are not just a denomination; we are a post-denominational fellowship. Our churches practice the inclusivity of Jesus toward the outcast and marginalized -- including women, homosexuals, indigenous peoples, minorities, heretics, sinners, and the poor. We even accept rich folks.

The United Catholic Church includes traditionalist parishes, progressive parishes, and everything in between. You can walk into one of our parishes and hear the Tridentine Mass in Latin, with the priest and congregation facing the altar and communicants receiving the Eucharist on the tongue. In another the Novus Ordo Mass will be indistinguishable from what you will experience in most Roman Catholic parishes. In still another you will find a woman priest and her congregation gathered around the altar at an intimate Mass rich in inclusive language. What binds us together is a rich orthodox Catholic faith, a dedication to follow Jesus in all things, a love of the Eucharist, a commitment to serve the lost and the outcast, and that unique spirituality we call "Catholic."

The United Catholic Church is a free association of individual Christians, independent churches, denominations, and interchurch fellowships. We embrace Roman Catholics, Old Catholics, independent Catholics, Orthodox catholics, Anglican catholics, and Protestant catholics. We do not seek to take Christians away from the churches they now attend. We seek rather to minister to the millions of alienated or excommunicated souls who no longer go to Mass or Communion, for whatever reason. We offer them God's unconditional love, acceptance, and Sacraments. We believe holiness is not a prerequisite for Communion, but a result of it. If you are unchurched, turned off, or marginalized, Have We Got a Church For You! Have you been told you're living in sin? We invite you to receive Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Forgiveness, not condemnation. Valid Sacraments, no strings. Like the early church, we ordain without regard to gender or marital status. Pedophiles and promiscuous or abusive clergy NOT tolerated, regardless of sexual orientation (no double standard).

NEWS
New Web Site. Thanks mainly to the work of Rev. Jerry Brohl and Rev. F. Joseph Bowman, we now have a new and much prettier web site. It is better organized. Give it a visit by clicking on www.united-catholic-church.org

2004 Synod. Sometime in the spring or summer of 2004, we will hold ordinations, a Synod for all clergy, and a meeting of the College of Bishops. Among other business, elections will be held for presiding bishop. Dates and place to be announced later.

June 2003 Ordinations. On June 14th in Toledo, OH, several new deacons and priests were ordained by Archbishop Bowman and Bishop Daniel Clay. Congratulations to new deacons Rev. Erich Junger and Rev. John Stygles. New priests are Rev. Jerry Brohl, Rev. Mary Helen Jeruzal, and Rev. Larry Cameron.

Food For Thought: Ordained Ministry and the Distribution of the Eucharist: distribution.htm (A brief pastoral from Archbishop Bowman on Easter Sunday, Apr 20, 2003)

There is a shortage of Catholic and liturgical Protestant chaplains in the military. Several bases will shortly be without one. The Roman Catholic bishops can't supply the demand. If you are interested in being a military chaplain and you are extremely well qualified, please contact us. We already have one chaplain on active duty and another in the pipeline. Laicized or inactive Roman Catholic priests are especially needed. Marriage no impediment. Our young men and women in the military deserve to have chaplains available to them. Must be willing to minister in a combat zone if needed. If you are interested, please carefully read the page Requirements and Guidelines for Military Chaplains in the United Catholic Church

Our latest formal UCC Synod for all clergy was held June 24-27, 2002 at the Lutheran Retreat Center in Carefree, Arizona. The Synod approved a new Code of Canons for the Church Canons.htm and also approved a Policy on Pedophiles and Other Sexual Exploiters Pedophilia.htm . Ordinations were held. Jerry Brohl was ordained a Deacon, and Deacon Larry Crinnin was ordained to the priesthood. An intercommunion agreement with the Catholic Church of the Holy Grail was ratified by the Synod, and the Presiding Archbishop was authorized to conclude such an agreement with the Open Anglican Church of Great Britain.

Archbishop Bowman visited Utrecht the first week in May, 2002. Along with bishops from several other independent Catholic jurisdictions, we are exploring intercommunion with the Old Catholic Church. A report on this visit was made to the Synod.

Ordination Requirements Page updated May 15, 2003 Ordination Requirements

entitled Another Catholic View of War

We are growing. See "The United Catholic Church Today" below.

In 2001, Bishop Peter Hickman ordained Mary Ramerman of Spiritus Christi Catholic Church in Rochester, NY to the priesthood. We welcome Mary and celebrate this long-overdue event. More recently, he has ordained Denise Donato (also of Spiritus Christi) to the diaconate. She has much experience and will be a wonderful deacon.

For Archbishop Bowman's reaction to 9/11, the war on terrorism, and the war against Iraq, go to his secular web site: http://www.rmbowman.com/ssn

Archbishop Bowman has called upon Christian churches to return to following the nonviolent Jesus of Nazareth and give up the prestige and power granted by Constantine in the fourth century. See "Return to the Catacombs" catacombs.htm
