Syro-Malabar/Vilatte Succession via St Tugdual
+++Peter III of Raqqa (Latin: Petrus Callinicus; Peter of Callinicum), was the Patriarch of
Antioch and head of the Syriac Orthodox Church from 581 until his death in 591.
Peter was born in the 6th century in the city of Raqqa, here he became fluent in Greek and
Syriac as well as obtaining a fair knowledge of philosophy and theology. Peter replaced his
father, Paul II, upon his death in 581 and was consecrated patriarch by Pope Damian of
Alexandria at the Mor Hananyo Monastery.
Afterwards, Peter traveled to Alexandria to promote religious ties with the Patriarchate of
Alexandria. Whilst here, however, Peter was accused of Tritheism by Pope Damian of
Alexandria and in turn accused him of Sabellianism. Peter replied to the accusations at
length in his Adversus Tritheistas or Many-lined Letter.
The work abounds in citations from earlier Greek authors, including the Cappadocians, John
Chrysostom, Cyril of Alexandria as well as Severus of Antioch, translated into Syriac. It deals
intensively with the theological and philosophical terminology involved with and illustrates
the consequences of the rejection of the Chalcedonian Definition in Syriac monastic circles.
This created a schism between the Alexandrian and Antiochene churches that lasted for
almost a decade after Damian's death…

Biografía del Obispo +George De Willmott Newman (Mar Georgius)
Hugh de Willmott Newman (17 January 1905 – 28 February 1979), Mar Georgius I, Patriarch
of Glastonbury, Catholicos of the West, Sixth British Patriarch, was the bishop of an
independent (non-Roman) Catholic church.
Newman was first made a bishop (a process known as consecration) in 1944. He is most
notable for having subsequently undergone numerous ceremonies of conditional
consecration, thereby laying claim to numerous different lines or streams of historic
apostolic succession, and also for having shared his own lines or streams of apostolic
succession with numerous other bishops by conditionally consecrating them. Over a ten-year
period between 1945 and 1955, there were a number of ceremonies in each of which
Newman and another bishop would conditionally consecrate each other to give each the
other's lines or streams of succession, a practice that is sometimes described as "crossconsecration".[1]
Newman consecrated (conditionally, or otherwise), or shared cross-consecration with, at
least 32 bishops. Today, there are hundreds of bishops around the world, perhaps
thousands, with a lines of succession deriving through Newman.
Hugh George Newman was born on 17 January 1905 in Forest Gate, London, England. His
family background was in the Catholic Apostolic Church (Irvingite). His father was a deacon
in that church, and his father a sub-deacon. Hugh George was baptised (christened) at the
Catholic Apostolic Church at Mare Street, Hackney, London, England. He was educated at
Crawford School, Camberwell, London, and later by private tuition. As a young man, he
changed his name by deed poll to "De Willmott Newman", thus reflecting his mother's
maiden name. Newman worked as a clerk in solicitors' offices until 1929.
He also continued to educate himself. He took a post with the Christian Herald (a Christian
newspaper) and he became a commercial consultant and, in due course, a fellow of the
Institute of Commerce. He engaged in charitable work with London's poor and needy,
championing the cause of the underdog.
Newman participated in attempts to restore Archduke Otto von Habsburg to the position of
emperor of Austria and Bohemia. In recognition of his efforts he was granted the honour
"prince of the Holy Roman Empire" by the Archduke's mother the Empress Zita, and also the
title "Baron Willmott" of Hungary, and "Duke of Saxe-Noricum".
Newman was one of the co-founders of an organisation called "Royalist International",
which campaigned against bolshevism and aimed to restore monarchy in all nations.
In 1936, Newman resigned his membership of the Conservative Party, owing to his views
about the abdication of King Edward VIII. He regarded encouraging or supporting the
abdication of the King as an act of high treason.
At the age of seven years, Newman was an acolyte in the Catholic Apostolic Church; in his
teens, he sensed a call to ordained Christian ministry and became an under-deacon in the
Catholic Apostolic Church at age 19.
The route to full clergy status in the Catholic Apostolic Church was closed, in that this was
"the time of silence". No new clergy had been ordained since 1901.
22
During the 1920s and 1930s Newman corresponded with bishops of autocephalous churches
of Old Catholic, Eastern and Oriental traditions.
On October 23, 1938, at the age of 33 years, Newman was ordained priest by Bishop James
Columba McFall (of Ireland). McFall was a bishop of a group called the "Old Roman Catholic
Church of Great Britain".[2]
In 1939, Newman was adopted as priest by a congregation, calling itself The Old Catholic
Orthodox Church, in Hounslow, England that in 1925 had split from the Old Roman Catholic
Church of Great Britain.[2]
Newman approached Arthur Wolfort Brooks (Mar Joseph Emmanuel) of the Apostolic
Episcopal Church in USA. When Brooks, a resident in America, accepted a position as a
presiding bishop of a group of churches in England, he appointed Newman as his vicargeneral.
In 1937, Newman married Lola Ima del Carpio Barnardo (1902 - 1984), a great-granddaughter
of Thomas Barnardo.
In the mid-1930s, he was general manager of the National Association of Cycle Traders and
Repairers. From 1943 to 1945, he was secretary and registrar of the Incorporated Institute of
Cycle Traders and Repairers.
Newman represented Brooks at the Council of London, which was headed by Archbishop
Herbert James Monzani-Heard (Mar Jacobus II) (1861 - 1947).
The background to the council was that, in December 1938, the office of Mar Ignatius
Ephrem I (Syrian Patriarch of Antioch, located at Homs, after fleeing Antioch and the Turks in
1920) had issued a statement warning the public in the West against bodies claiming to
derive their origin and apostolic succession from some ancient Church of the East. Groups
claiming apostolic succession through Rene Vilatte were explicitly condemned in the
statement.
The council comprised representatives from a number of bodies claiming to derive their
succession from the Eastern churches. All were bodies with a very small following. They
were: Ancient British Church, British Orthodox Catholic Church, Apostolic Episcopal Church,
Old Catholic Orthodox Church, Order of Holy Wisdom, and Order of Antioch.
The council boldy declared the Syrian Orthodox (Jacobite) Patriarch to be in schism, and that
it was they who represented the genuine church, which, for the avoidance of doubt, they
renamed as the "Western Orthodox Catholic Church".
Arthur Wolfort Brooks ("Mar John Emmanuel"), founder and leader of the Apostolic
Episcopal Church (based in USA) had suggested Newman as a candidate for appointment as a
bishop.
Newman was chosen by a pro-synod of the Old Catholic Orthodox Church in Europe as
archbishop and metropolitan of Glastonbury, just a few days before the Council of London.
Brooks signed the consecration mandate and he authorized Bishop William Bernard Crow to
perform the ceremony which took place on 10 April 1944.
23
Newman sought the convergence of churches into a unity. He was a founder of the
"Catholicate of the West".
On 23 March 1944, a Deed of Declaration united the Ancient British Church, the Old Catholic
Orthodox Church, the British Orthodox Catholic Church and the Independent Catholic Church
into a single organization, to be called the "Catholicate of the West".
On 28 March 1944, a synod of the new Catholicate elected Newman as "Catholicos of the
West". At Christmas 1944, it was resolved that the Catholicate would bring its ministry,
organization, usages and worship into general conformity with the pattern and model of the
Catholic Apostolic Church ("Irvingites"). The name "Catholic Apostolic Church (Catholicate of
the West)" was adopted, with a sub-title "Western Orthodox Catholic Church", and the
Catholic Apostolic Church's liturgy was adopted with a Supplement.
Under Newman's leadership, the Catholicate was dissolved on 29 November 1953.
However, some members considered that the 1953 decision to dissolve the Catholicate had
not been validly made, and they sought to continue the Catholicate under the name Catholic
Apostolic Church (United Orthodox Catholicate) with Mar Paulos as Catholicos. Mar Paulos
led this manifestation of the Catholicate from 1953 until his death on 29 April 1965. Mar
Paulos was succeeded by Mar David I (Ortega-Maxey) (1965 to 1976), Mar David II (1976 to
2000), Mar Timotheos III (Francis Spataro) (2000 to 2015) and Mar Johannes Edmundos (John
Kersey) (2015 to date). From 6 August 1977 onwards the headship of the continuing
Catholicate has been formally united with the headship of the Apostolic Episcopal Church.
On 10 May 1959, Newman revived the purportedly-dissolved Catholicate, but dissolved it
once again on 1 January 1968. Thus, from 1959 to 1968, there were, in effect, two distinct
Catholicates.
Newman's desire for the convergence of
different historic lines or streams of apostolic
succession was an aspect or outworking or his
quest a unity of churches. He did not believe
that being consecrated by a bishop from a
different line or stream of succession adds
anything to the charism received. His reason for
advocating commissioning by bishops from
different lines or streams of succession was
solely that the episcopal status of those so
commissioned might be more widely accepted. His aspiration was that an ecumenical
succession would be created which all churches/jurisdictions (or as many as possible) would
accept.
The ecumenical mission or vision that gave rise to the birth of the Catholicate of the West
and to the notion of restoring an ecumenical apostolic succession partially derives from the
theology and aspirations of the Catholic Apostolic Church (Irvingites). In the 1930s, there was
a somewhat parallel situation in the Church of England in that the Church of England had
started to incorporate "Old Catholic" successions within its consecrations of bishops. In the
case of the Church of England, the objective was that Anglican orders would meet the
criteria declared by the Roman Catholic Church.
On 29 January 1945, Monzani-Heard handed-over to Newman the role of British patriarch.
24
NOTE: Newman is generally cited as having been sixth patriarch. The succession (from the
first patriarch, Richard Williams Morgan) is listed in the Wikipedia article of the Celtic
Orthodox Church.
In 1946, Newsweek published a claim the movement led by Newman had 140,000 followers
worldwide.
In later years, there were many changes and re-organisations, and a long period of general
decline. Specifically, in 1952, Newman issued a statement of belief which he called the
"Glastonbury Confession". However, most of his
clergy declined to subscribe to it, and in 1953 he
released them from his jurisdiction.
There were further changes in the late 1960s. In
1967, Newman repealed the 1960 Constitution and
governed by decree. A revised liturgy was introduced
in 1968. In 1968, the Catholicate of the West was
dissolved.
As result of these changes and loss of adherents,
when Newman died on 28 February 1979, the
movement he had led was virtually unrecognisable,
as compared with the movement as it had existed
twelve years earlier.
Newman's cousin, William Henry Hugo NewmanNorton succeeded him as primate of the British
Orthodox Church, which became canonically part of
the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria in 1994. Some congregants at that time separated
from the British Orthodox Church and formed part of the Celtic Orthodox Church.

Valides de las Ordenes Católicas NO Romanas
Tengo muchos elementos de juicio para dar como verdaderas las Ordenes de los Clérigos no
Católicos Romanos. Cuando aún era un Seminarista , tuve una conversación con una pareja
de miembros del Opus, esto fue en presencia de una amiga, que en aquel entonces vendía
gemas en una pequeña Plaza de Mollerussa, en Lérida. Les explique a mi Juicio lo que sigue:
Con frecuencia, las Iglesias Católicas Apostólicas no Romanas, sean Nacionales, Tridentinas,
Ortodoxas Occidentales, o Sedevacantistas son blanco de críticas por algunas jerarquías
Romananistas, tras considerarlas irregulares. Argumentan que tanto sus obispos como sus
sacramentos no son reconocidos como católicos (Universales), pero los siguientes
documentos históricos irrebatibles no dicen lo mismo.
El primer Concilio Niceno (a 325) se expresó claramente a este respecto hablando de los
novacianos: “Sobre los que se llaman Catharos (esto es, limpios) si vinieren a la Iglesia
Católica, agradó al Santo y al Gran Concilio que, recibiendo la imposición de manos en
penitencia, permanezcan como están en el clero. Conviene que, sobre todo, profesen por
escrito que reciben y siguen todos los dogmas de la Iglesia Católica y Apostólica”.
Los Santos Padres pensaron que la imposición de manos o la Ordenación producen sus
efectos aunque proceda de un ministro indigno. Es un Sacramento y una acción de Cristo,
que no queda desvirtuada por la iniquidad del instrumento. Este principio general de
Teología Sacramental Patrística tiene ahora su manifestación concreta en el Sacramento del
Orden.
San Jerónimo dice igualmente: “Si el que bautiza en su fe herética no puede dañar al
bautizado, tampoco el que en su propia fe herética hace la ordenación del sacerdote le
mancho”.
San Agustín (354-430): “no hay ninguna razón porque quien no puede perder el bautismo
pueda perder el derecho a darlo, porque uno y aún los mismo propósitos que venían de un
cisma han sido recibidos, aun cuando pareciese ser necesario que desempeñasen los mismos
oficios que antes desempeñaban, o han sido ordenados de nuevo, sino que, lo mismo que el
bautismo, la ordenación permaneció íntegra, puesto que en la separación o cisma hubo un
vicio, pero no en los Sacramentos, que son los mismos dondequiera que estén... Si nosotros
procedemos mal, que expliquen ellos como no pueda perderse el Sacramento del bautizado,
y pueda perderse el sacramento del ordenado, que dicen: “al apartarse de la Iglesia no
perdió el bautismo pero sí el derecho a darlo”. Porque si uno y otro es sacramento, de lo cual
nadie duda, ¿por qué aquel no se pierde y este sí se pierde? Ni a uno ni a otro sacramento
hay que hacer injuria”.
Una de las razones de esta aceptación de los Sacramentos conferidos por herejes, Cismáticos
y Pecadores la daba San Agustín: “una cosa es no tener algo, y otra cosa es tenerlo
ilegítimamente o usurparlo ilícitamente. Los sacramentos hay que reconocerlos y
venerarlos”.
Otras razones eran la “Costumbre” o Tradición de la Iglesia y la consideración de que los
Sacramentos eran “acciones de Cristo”, cualquiera que fuese el instrumento humano.
Más adelante (440-461), San León Magno no rechazará de la dignidad de Obispo a un cierto
Máximo, que se había ordenado en el cisma Donatista.
27
Anastasio II (a. 496) no dejó de admitir la validez de las ordenaciones en el cisma de Acasio;
porque Cristo es el que hace los Sacramentos, ni queda limitada su virtud fecunda, aunque
pase por lugares inmundos.
San Gregorio Magno (a. 601) admitirá las Ordenaciones conferidas por nestorianos como
válidas, escribiendo a los Obispos de Iberia (Giorgia): “...sin ninguna duda, vuestra Santidad
los reciba (a aquellos nestorianos convertidos) en su propio grupo, guardándoles sus propias
órdenes, para que, procediendo con mansedumbre y no haciéndoles contradicción o
dificultad por sus propias órdenes, los arranquéis de la boca del antiguo enemigo”.
Y León XIII (a. 1896), sí decretó inválidas las Ordenaciones Anglicanas, no fue razón de haber
sido conferidas por quienes estaban fuera de la Iglesia Católica Romana, sino solamente por
vicio de forma e intención.
La validez de las Ordenes conferidas por herejes o Cismáticos, de suyo siempre la ha
reconocido la Iglesia.
“Los sacerdotes dan su bendición no por propia virtud -escribe Hestiquio de Jerusalén- sino
que, porque llevan la imagen de Cristo, pueden por Aquél que está en ellos dar la plenitud de
la bendición”.
No se puede pues, absolutamente pensar en las Cristiandades separadas como en
comunidades absolutamente extrañas, separadas de la Iglesia, donde se conserva el carácter
Sacramental se conserva también un vínculo con la Iglesia única. Todos los cismas contra la
unidad de la Iglesia no pueden consumar completamente la división en tanto la parte que se
ha separado no haya repudiado también el Sacramento del Bautismo y destruido con ello
todo vínculo de carácter Sacramental.
Es oportuno recordar que un niño bautizado no es, con el bautismo, incorporado al cisma,
sino a la iglesia Una, aún cuando aquel que administra este sacramento no conozca a la
Iglesia, aún cuando intente explícitamente excluirla con tal que su primera intención sea la
de querer hacerle Cristiano.
La voluntad de los hombres no puede destrozar ni modificar una decisión divina: También
los cismáticos en la medida que son Cristianos, pertenecen siempre a la Iglesia que es Una en
la unidad de su Sacerdote.
Hoy día ya no se duda de Consagraciones Episcopales verificadas hasta en sujetos que no
habían recibido previamente el Presbiterado u orden Sacerdotal. Al recibir la Consagración
de Obispo, quedaban ordenados con la plenitud del Sacerdocio y poseyendo las Capacidades
Sacramentales del Presbiterado.
De San Ambrosio de Milán, elegido Obispo siendo Catecúmeno, se vino creyendo hasta
ahora que pasó por todos los grados del Clericato; pero ciertamente no aconteció así con
otro Catecúmeno que, como refiere San Gregorio Nacianceno,
elegido también, fue bautizado y, de simple laico fue Ordenado. Otro laico que, estando
casado y siendo abogado, de laico recibió la Consagración Episcopal, es San Filogonio, cuyo
ministerio ensalza San Juan Crisóstomo.
Por San Agustín sabemos de la Consagración para Obispo de un simple lector. Estaban
preparadas todas las cosas para consagrar a uno de los Sacerdotes y había un Obispo de
28
fuera de Hipona para intervenir en la ceremonia; pero ésta no podía realizarse como se
había pensado, porque el candidato se había retirado. Entonces San Agustín, Doctor y Padre
de la Iglesia: para que no fuera inútil la vanidad del otro Obispo, sustituyó al presbítero por
un lector.
Se cuentan treinta y cuatro diáconos Romanos que antes de acabar el siglo IX, en aquella
Iglesia fueron consagrados Obispos de Roma o Papas, directamente sin pasar por el
Presbiterado u Ordenación Sacerdotal. Respecto del Papa Juan XIII (965-972), cuya carrera
eclesial se conoce por la lista de órdenes que había recibido, se ha podido constatar que el
diácono pasó directamente al Episcopado.
CONCLUSION
El Obispo tiene en virtud de la Consagración Episcopal, una potestad de Confirmar y
Ordenar, que no se le puede quitar, porque si la Iglesia pudiera anular esta potestad, es
lógico creer que lo hubiera hecho en caso de cisma, herejía, etc,; y sin embargo nunca lo ha
hecho. Al contrario, es un principio reconocido en Teología Sacramentaria la validez de las
ordenaciones conferidas por Obispos cismáticos y herejes. Todo lo cual es indicio cierto de
que la potestad Episcopal viene de un Sacramento y de un carácter impreso en el alma; no
de un mero mandato, o de misión externa o jurisdicción comunicada por la Iglesia en la
persona del Papa.

El Obispo SALOMAO FERAZ, consagrado como primer Obispo de la Iglesia Católica
Independiente del Brasil, fue recibido por la Iglesia Romana sin haber sido Ordenado de
Nuevo sino simplemente con reconocimiento de su Consagración Episcopal y fue aceptado
como Obispo casado y murió siendo Obispo Auxiliar en Brasil en el seno de la Iglesia Romana
y con todos los honores de cualquier Obispo Católico Romano.
Todo tiene un por que, una causa y un efecto ineludible, el hecho de que la personalidad de
unos pocos y el ego u orgullo de muchos no den paso a la unidad y la Fraternidad, la cual
conlleva a reconocer verazmente que solo hay una y solo una SANTA APOSTOLICA CATOLICA
IGLESIA es seña de que el Cáncer del Dogma no se ha extirpado aun de los Hombres que
prefieren seguir esclavizados por él.

La Prelatura Sacerdotes Casados
Es necesario que el obispo sea irreprochable, casado una sola vez, casto, dueño de sí, de
buenos modales, que acoja fácilmente en su casa y con capacidad para enseñar. [...] Que
sepa gobernar su propia casa y mantener sus hijos obedientes y bien criados. Pues si no sabe
gobernar su propia casa,
¿cómo podrá guiar la asamblea de Dios?
Pablo de Tarso, 1 Timoteo (3.2-5)
Nosotros, obispos, sacerdotes y diáconos casados del Brasil, en el ejercicio ministerial en
varias instituciones católicas juntamente con sacerdotes casados, oriundos de la Iglesia
Católica Apostólica Romana, miembros del Movimiento de Sacerdotes Casados (MSC),
reunidos en el Encuentro Brasileño del Movimiento de “Sacerdotes Casados, Ahora”,
realizado en San Pablo, en el municipio de Atibaia, en los días 23 a 25 de marzo de 2007, bajo
la inspiración espiritual y orientación del Arzobispo Emmanuel Milingo, Arzobispo Emérito de
Lusaka, Zambia, (África); en la presencia del clero de la Iglesia Católica Apostólica Brasileña y
de su patriarca, Dom Luis Fernando Mendes; del clero de la Iglesia Católica Apostólica
Misionera de Evangelización; del clero de la Iglesia Católica Ortodoxa Carismática; de los
miembros de la Congregación Franciscana de los Siervos Inúteis; de los miembros del
Instituto Misionero Francisco de Asís; de los miembros da URI — Iniciativa de las Religiones
Unidas — y de los miembros de la Iglesia de la Unificación (Associação das Familias para
Unificação e Paz Mundial)
DECLARAMOS: 1.Que la familia es una institución sagrada creada por Dios; 2.Que la familia
es el medio a través del cual los seres humanos perpetúan su linaje, su descendencia y la
propia especie humana; 3.Que la santidad humana está en el sacerdocio y en la familia, y no
en el celibato obligatorio; 4.Que la familia es la Escuela del Amor en sus distintas
expresiones, por eso, es una necesidad humana espiritual, biológica y social; 5.Que la
formación de una familia es un derecho divino concedido a todos los seres humanos,
inclusive a los sacerdotes y a todos los miembros de las diversas manifestaciones religiosas
del mundo; 6.Que el Movimiento de “Sacerdotes Casados, Ahora” no tiene como objetivo
hacer oposición a la Iglesia Católica Apostólica Romana, o a otros segmentos religiosos, sino
la defensa del derecho humano al establecimiento de familias consagradas en la libre
expresión de su religiosidad; 7.Que, con la inspiración espiritual concedida por Jesucristo al
arzobispo Emmanuel Milingo, y con la fuerza de la autoridad de la sangre de Jesús, todos los
30
sacerdotes casados están absueltos de toda culpa o herida espiritual, derivada de la decisión
de establecer su familia y de generar su descendencia y linaje en la Tierra; que todos los
sacerdotes casados están libres de todo castigo que se deriva de la excomunión de cualquier
institución religiosa; que todos los sacerdotes casados están autorizados a celebrar la Santa
Misa y a administrar los sacramentos en sus familias y en sus comunidades, en virtud de la
necesidad espiritual del pueblo cristiano del Brasil. 8.Que la defensa intransigente del
celibato (la prohibición de construir una familia) impuesta por la Iglesia Católica Apostólica
Romana a centenas de millares de sus miembros, niega el origen y la naturaleza divina de la
institución familiar (Gn. 1:28), oponiéndose a la determinación bíblica (Tito 1:6; I Tm 3), y
viola uno de los derechos más sagrados y vitales del hombre. Por tanto, el tiempo ha llegado
para la Iglesia Católica Apostólica Romana el repensar su posición y restaurar ese derecho de
Dios a los hombres. En consecuencia, hacemos un llamado a todos los religiosos brasileños
para apoyar al Movimiento de “Sacerdotes Casados, Ahora” a fin de que podamos fortalecer
la fe cristina a contribuir al establecimiento de familias sanas centralizadas en Dios, que son
las bases de la paz social y las raíces del Reino de Dios en el Brasil y el mundo.
“El celibato no es un dogma. Las escrituras no lo imponen. Sería incluso muy fácil. Tomamos
una pluma, firmamos un decreto, y mañana todos los sacerdotes que quieran pueden
casarse." (Papa Juan XXIII - Audiencia con Etienne Gilson "Souvenir du Père" La France
Catholique, no. 862, 7-VI-1963)

+++Emmanuel Milingo (13 de junio de 1930, Zambia) es un ex arzobispo católico
romano emérito de Lusaka y exorcista, que fue excomulgado por el Vaticano por haber
ordenado obispos ilegítimamente, sin la autorización de la Iglesia católica.
Fue educado en la escuela de Presbyterial del St. Maria en Chipata y atendió en el seminario
de Kasina y el seminario de Kachebere. Fue ordenado sacerdote en 1958, y ejerció en la
parroquia en Chipata de 1963 a 1966, cuando fundó la sociedad de los ayudantes de Zambia.
Fue secretario de medios de comunicación de la conferencia episcopal de Zambia de 1966 a
1969, cuando fundó las hijas del Redeemer. El Papa Paulo VI lo consagró como Obispo de la
Archidiócesis de Lusaka, capital de Zambia, donde sirvió de 1969 a 1983.
En los años 70´s, mientras que aún vivía en África, el arzobispo Milingo se hizo un exorcista
de tendencia carismática, que fue criticado para exorcizar en otras diócesis sin el permiso y
porque en vez seguir el rito de exorcismo secular oficial del Ritual romano usaba todas las
clases de rituales carismáticos no aprobados y de rezos allegados al exorcismo.
En 1983 le pidieron dimitir como el arzobispo de Lusaka debido a que su ministerio curativo
no convencional, y porque conducía exorcismos fuera de la autoridad de la iglesia. Fue
enviado a El Vaticano para servir en el Consejo Pontifical para el Cuidado Pastoral de los
emigrantes e itinerantes.
En los años 1990´s el Arzobispo Milingo fue contado entre los críticos de extrema derecha de
la Iglesia institucional. Se hizo conocido en el tradicionalista y círculos sedevacantistas por un
discurso que dio en Fátima 2000 la Conferencia Internacional de la Paz Mundial, el 18-23 de
noviembre de 1996, en el cual acusó que había miembros de alto rango de la jerarquía
Católica que protegían y/o formalmente estuvieron implicados en la adoración de diablo. (Lo
que el Papa Pablo VI había dicho realmente era que él sentía que el humo de Satán había
entrado en el Templo de Dios con los que ponían en duda la Autoridad de Magisterio de la
Iglesia.)
En el año 1998 coprodujo, con el dibujante italiano Mario Verger, una historieta
autobiográfica fijada a la música por Lucio Dalla, con los arreglos de Ron, dados derecho
Milingo el alcohol de África. Esto llamó otra vez la atención de los medios de comunicación
hacia él.
Milingo también ha criticado a la iglesia católica para su tolerancia de la homosexualidad y
los votos rotos del celibato entre el sacerdocio: Los “asuntos y las uniones secretas, los niños
ilegítimos, la homosexualidad desenfrenada, y el sexo ilícito han acribillado al sacerdocio
hasta el punto de la Comisión de la O.N.U. en derechos humanos haya investigado la iglesia
por abuso sexual…”
Milingo se hizo partidario de reverendo Sun Myung Moon y su iglesia de la unificación y en
mayo de 2001, en la edad de 71, se casó en Nueva York con Maria Sung, una acupunturista
coreana de 43 años. Esta unión fue arreglada por el Reverendo Sun Myung Moon. Según el
padre Gabriele Amorth, uno de los exorcistas oficiales de la diócesis de Roma, que conocía a
Emmanuel Milingo, dijo que él creyó que la secta de la luna le “lavó el cerebro.”
Después de su unión y declaraciones que contradecían la enseñanza y la disciplina de la
iglesia católica, Milingo fue llamado de nuevo al Vaticano por el Papa Juan Pablo II. Un 7 de
agosto del 2001 se concretó la entrevista.
35
En una carta fechada el día 11 de agosto del 2001, Milingo admite que fueron las palabras de
Juan Pablo II, durante el encuentro que ambos mantuvieron la pasada semana en la
residencia veraniega del Papa en Castelgandolfo, las que terminaron por convencerlo a dar
el paso para la reconciliación. 'En el nombre de Jesús, regresa a la Iglesia Católica', relata
Milingo que le pidió el Pontífice. 'Esas palabras han sido a la vez un llamamiento de mi
Iglesia Madre y una orden paternal que me ha sido dirigida para ofrecerle mi fidelidad y
obediencia a Usted que es representante de Jesús en la Tierra y Jefe de la Iglesia Católica',
señala la misiva. Milingo repasa mentalmente su vida y la vorágine a la que estuvo sometido
durante los últimos meses. Está arrepentido de haberse casado con la coreana Maria Sung y
de haberse dejado instrumentalizar ingenuamente por la secta Moon.
En entrevistas en la televisión italiana en 2002, él dijo que él había pasado un año en rezo y
la meditación penitencial en la Argentina, en el Centro Mariápolis Andrea, (antigua casa de
formación de los P. Capuchinos donada al Movimiento de los Focolares) en O'Higgins.
En noviembre de 2003 hizo un viaje a África sobre las objeciones de los obispos católicos allí.
En 2004 y 2005 mantuvo un perfil bajo y los medios le sugirieron que viviera adentro o cerca
de Roma sin ninguna asignación oficial en el Vaticano. El 24 de septiembre de 2006, Milingo
consagró a cuatro hombres casados como obispos . Cada uno de los cuatro demandó ya ser
obispo. George Augustus Stallings, Jr. eran uno de los cuatro. Los otros eran el obispo Peter
Paul Brennan de la “iglesia ortodoxa africana” y de la “diócesis católica ecuménica de las
Américas”, que según un Web site primero fue consagrado obispo el 10 de junio de 1978, y
reconsagrado posteriormente en octubre de 1979 y dos veces más en marzo de 1987;
Arzobispo Patrick E. Trujillo de la “vieja iglesia católica en América”; y obispo Joseph J.
Gouthro, obispo de presidencia de la “iglesia apostólica católica internacional”.
La Santa Sede habría escrito al controvertido ex Arzobispo Emmanuel Milingo pidiéndole que
detuviera su participación en el grupo "Sacerdotes casados ya!" -creado por él mismo-, bajo
riesgo de enfrentar una suspensión canónica.
Según la agencia Associated Press, el ex Arzobispo de Lusaka habría recibido una carta del
Prefecto de la Congregación para los Obispos, solicitándole que enviara al Papa una carta de
arrepentimiento antes del 15 de octubre o de lo contrario enfrentaría la "suspensión
canónica".
"Vuestro comportamiento, actividades y declaraciones públicas durante los meses pasados
son totalmente contrarias a la obligación de todo Obispo", habría escrito el Cardenal
Giovanni Battista Re en la carta. "En nombre de Jesucristo, os suplico reflexionar seriamente
sobre vuestro comportamiento y todas sus consecuencias".
La Santa Sede dio a conocer con fecha 26 de septiembre de 2006, la excomunión "latae
sententiae" (automática) del ex arzobispo Milingo y los cuatro obispos por él ordenados el
domingo pasado y aseguró que la Iglesia no reconoce ni reconocerá tales ordenaciones y las
que de ellas deriven.
Mediante un comunicado de la Sala de Prensa de la Santa Sede, se dio a conocer que “tanto
el Arzobispo Milingo como los cuatro ordenados han incurrido en la excomunión latae
sententiae, prevista por el canon 1382 del Código de Derecho Canónico. Además la Iglesia no
reconoce ni pretende reconocer en el futuro tales ordenaciones y todas las ordenaciones que
deriven de ellas, y considera que el estado canónico de los cuatro presuntos obispos es aquel
en el que se encontraban antes de la ordenación”.
36
El comunicado afirma que “la Santa Sede ha seguido con viva atención la actividad puesta en
marcha recientemente por Su Excelencia Reverendísima Mons. Emmanuel Milingo,
Arzobispo emérito de Lusaka, con una nueva Asociación de sacerdotes casados, sembrando
división y desconcierto entre los fieles”.
Asimismo constata que “exponentes de varios niveles de la Iglesia han buscado vanamente
contactar al Arzobispo Milingo, para disuadirlo del proseguir en acciones que provocan
escándalo, sobre todo en relación a los fieles que han seguido su ministerio pastoral a favor
de los pobres y los enfermos”.
Más adelante se lee en el documento: “Tomando en cuenta la compresión manifestada,
también recientemente, del Sucesor de Pedro hacia este anciano Pastor de la Iglesia, la Santa
Sede ha esperado con vigilante paciencia el desarrollo de los eventos, los cuales,
lamentablemente, han conducido al Arzobispo Milingo a una condición de irregularidad y de
progresiva y abierta ruptura de la comunión con la Iglesia, primero con el matrimonio y
después con la ordenación de cuatro obispos el domingo 24 de septiembre en Washington
D.C.”.
También se lee en el texto que “la Sede Apostólica, solícita como es de la unidad y de la paz
del rebaño de Cristo, había esperado en la acción fraterna de personas cercanas al Arzobispo
Milingo, para su reflexión y para su retorno a la plena comunión con el Papa.
Lamentablemente los últimos desarrollos han alejado tales esperanzas”.
El comunicado termina exhortando a que “en momentos de sufrimiento eclesial como este,
se intensifique la oración de toda la comunidad de los fieles”.
