Good morning! I hope everyone is having a blessed Friday! After much prayer, reflection, soul searching, and personal meditation, I have decided to form my own branch of Catholicism which will promote unity, ecumenism, peace, love, and equality for all who wish to join. Of course I do realize this would be considered schismatic from the Roman Rite and I fully understand this. I am looking for fellow ministers, priests, bishops who want to join me on this journey.
I do not believe in a hierarchical system (I feel it leads to careerism and I feel that the glory should be given to God and not to a solitary, earthly leader). I want a church where everyone is accepted and where proclaiming the word of God and reaching out to those who seeks spiritual guidance is the priority, NOT materialistic and traditionalist mentalities.
Of course with forming the branch of Catholicism i do understand a full doctrine will have to be produced and that is why I come to you, my brothers and sisters. The church will be governed by the ministers who are a part of it, not by a pope or presiding bishop. I do wish to incorporate the sacraments into the liturgy and I feel the order of the mass is solemn and should have great meaning and impact to this new branch.
If you are interested and/or gravitating toward the idea of assisting me on this journey to not only gain a deeper spiritual relationship with God through the beauty of Catholicism, but to help others gain the same, please contact me via my email or phone number listed on my profile.
May the grace and peace of Christ be with you all,
Bishop Deron R. Martel
