Australia Distances, demographics, disaffection underlie tales of resigned bishops By Phyllis Zagano

Bishop William Morris was bishop when the Magnificat Meal Movement was established. Debra presented herself as a charismatic Christian, but it became clear quite early on she wanted to do her own thing without reference to being financially accountable. Her move to Helidon was a way to avoid having  to submit her movement and its finances to legitimate authority.  She moved from a radical Protestant position to nearly joining the Seventh Day Adventists. Then when her Marian Co – Redemptrice position was rejected she moved her people to a rejection of  the New Order of the Mass. She substituted this mass with the Melkite and Maronite Rites.  When this did not work out she then only allowed her members to participate in the Tridentine Rite.

Communion and Liberation and the Legionaries ~ Pondering the ‘what,’ not the ‘who,’ of Vatileaks

Pondering the ‘what,’ not the ‘who,’ of Vatileaks ~ Communion and Liberation and the Legionaries and the Bishop at the centre of the Magnificat Meal Movement debate.

Further links to the Two by Twos, this is not about ‘Theology,’ heresy or orthodoxy but cultism.

The key point here is that the issue, in terms of being a problem, is not beliefs – it is when a group develops a level of undue influence that causes a person harm (whether financial, societal, mental or otherwise). Bringing theology into this doesn’t address this dynamic.
