Catholics United to Peter Society 256 Main St. Suite 301 Antigonish, NS B2G 2C2 info (put at sign here) catholicsunitedtopeter.com Good day Sirs, A friend of mine just made me discover your web site. I just had to write to congratulate you all on your efforts! First of all, YES, we must remain united with Peter, and his current successor, Pope Benedict XVI. The true leader of the Church is Jesus Christ, but Jesus Himself said that if we wanted to follow Him, we had to obey the Pope! Second, I of course fully approve Redemptionis Sacramentum, and any reasonable effort so that "the Vatican II Liturgy will be beautifully celebrated". Amen! Amen! Now a few things I disagree with, starting with something not too important. On the Internet, the ".com" extension means "Commercial" [Computer Networks 4th Ed., by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, page 580]. Hence, "Microsoft.com" or "www.coca-cola.com". For people who are under 40, having a very religious web site with a ".com" extension is startling, and a bit ridiculous. A ".org" or ".ca" extension seems more appropriate. The second thing I have reservations about is the service you offer to the world, which seems to be: "Out of love for the Holy Father, our Bishop and his brother priests, we pledge: [...] To assist any Catholic, whether Priest, Deacon, Religious or lay member of Christ's faithful, to lodge a documented report or complaint to the proper authorities." In other words, help enforce Redemptionis Sacramentum. My first question: Do you publish those "documented reports or complaints" on your web site? If not, why? One of the reasons bad members of the clergy in Canada get away with murder, is that nobody takes them to task publicly. I speak of experience. If you send a written complaint about anything, they will drool all over you with gratitude, claiming they are very happy to receive such complaints. Then they will do strictly nothing (and keep your complaint totally secret). My second question is: What makes you think complaining about some minor detail in the Liturgy will be heard by our Bishops, if the Bishops are deaf to the most horrible genocide Canada has ever known? Here I quote from Eric Alcock's petition: "Up until last year, except for a five month break in 38 years, "Catholic" Prime Ministers have managed the affairs of Canada. Every one of them without exception has flouted Catholic teaching on sexuality through their pro-contraception, pro-abortion, pro-sodomy agendas. And every one of them considered themselves good Catholics and regularly presented themselves for Holy Communion. During that 38 year reign of social devastation and spiritual ruin too many Catholic Bishops failed to take steps to deal with this epic scandal. Despite the fierce defiance of Catholic teaching exhibited by the Prime Ministers there is no record of even one single occasion when a Catholic Prime Minister was denied Communion." [Open Letter to the Catholic Bishops of Canada, from Vote Life, Canada!] If Canadian Bishops deliver Christ over to heretics during Holy Communion, against the very explicit orders of the Pope, what makes you think the Bishops will listen to complaints about liturgical details? Shouldn't all the members of your Society sign Eric's petition? Anyway, in conclusion, I want to repeat I totally agree with everything you are doing. I disagree only with your omissions (which I consider very serious omissions). In Christ, Stefan Jetchick
-----Original Message----- From: Paul Musial Sent: 2007-August-22 03:13 To: stefan.jetchick Subject: correspondence with Catholics United to Peter Good morning Stefan: Thanks for your contact. Its good to meet others who have a respect for the Church and what it stands for. Our organization got started about 3 years ago. Our concern is to help restore the proper respect in the celebration of the Mass. We do get involved with other questions but we try to concentrate on our mandate as you read it on our web page. We believe that a good prayer life is a major part of the solution to today's problems . There is an attempt today to create a new entity called the Canadian Catholic Church. We see this as a watering down of our faith and a departure from the Magesterium of the Church. We see a great need for dialogue with our clergy leading to a return to good basic teaching from our priests and bishops. We invite your support in persuing this goal and spreading the word among your friends about our work. Thanks again for your contact. Tell us how the situation is in your area. Yours in Jesus' name, Paul Musial
Good day Mr. Paul Musial, >> It's good to meet others who have a >> respect for the Church and what it stands for. Yes! Thank God there are still a few of us left in Canada! >> Our concern is to help restore >> the proper respect in the celebration of the Mass. A very worthy goal, as I've said in my first e-mail. >> We believe that a good >> prayer life is a major part of the solution to today's problems. Amen! Amen! >> There is an attempt today to create a new entity called the >> "Canadian Catholic Church". We see this as a watering down of our >> faith and a departure from the Magisterium of the Church. Yes, a very dangerous and slippery slope. Just here in my diocese, Cardinal Ouellet has approved the renaming of the "Diocese of Quebec City". It's now called "The Catholic Church of Quebec" (Église catholique de Québec). We're no longer called a diocese! You can see for yourself on the official web site. >> We see a great need for dialogue with our clergy leading to a return to >> good basic teaching from our Priests and Bishops. I agree with your goal (returning to the teachings of the Church), but I'm not sure about your "dialogue-centered" approach. That approach has been failing consistently, ever since we started using it about fourty years ago. Shouldn't we stop doing what doesn't work, and try a new approach? >> We invite your support in pursuing this goal As I've just said, you have all my support for your goal, but not for your means to that goal (unless you do more than pray and hide). >> Tell us how the situation is in your area. It's all here: My Subjective Assessment Of Cardinal Ouellet >> Thanks again for your contact. Hum, I didn't write just to say hello! I had a serious and important question, which you carefully avoided. So I will repeat it: "Shouldn't all the members of your Society sign this petition?" Open Letter to the Catholic Bishops of Canada, from Vote Life, Canada! Thanks for your clear answer! In Christ, Stefan Jetchick
