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… Predecessors… Moran Mar Ignatius Yacob II, Syrian Patriarch of Antioch, who on February 12, 1865, consecrated: • Joseph Pulikottil, Mar Dionysios V, Metropolitan of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, who on July 29, 1889, consecrated: • Antonio Francisco Xavenda Alvarez, Mar Julius, Archbishop of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church in Ceylon, Goa and India, who on May 29, 1892, consecrated: • +++Joseph Rene Vilatte, Mar Timotheos, Archbishop-Exarch of North America who on December 29, 1915, consecrated: • +Frederick Ebenezer John Lloyd, Bishop of Illinois, afterward Primate of the American Catholic Church, who on September 8, 1929, consecrated: • John Churchill Sibley, Missionary Archbishop for England, who on October 6, 1935, consecrated: • John Sebastian Marlow Ward, Archbishop of Olivet, who in August 25, 1945, consecrated: +++Hugh George de Willmott Newman, Mar Georgius I, Patriarch of Glastonbury, who on May 2, 1950, consecrated: +++Harold Percival Nicolson, Archbishiop of Karim in the Ancient Catholic Church, who on May 20, 1955 consecrated: Jan Frederick Assendelft-Attland, Archbishop of the Ancient Catholic Church of France, who on May 20 1955 consecrated: Irenaeus d’Eschevannes, Archbishop of Arles, who on 5 May, 1957 consecrated: Jean Pierre Danyel (St Tugdual), Bishop of Redon, Primate of the Holy Celtic Church, who on August 15, 1966 consecrated: 19 John Nicholas Collins, Auxiliary of the Old Roman Catholic Church of Canada, who on December 15, 1968 consecrated: Peter Cockburn Distin, Auxiliary of the Holy Celtic Church, Superior of the Order of the Atonement, who on April 26, 1969 consecrated: Anthony Walter John Williams, Primate of the Holy Celtic Church, who on May 20, 1979 consecrated: Illtyd Thomas, Primate of the Celtic Catholic Church, who in Oct. 1988 consecrated Michael Skelly, who on the August 15, 2007 consecrated: ++Alistair Bate, (Mar Alexei) OSBA, Presiding Bishop The Holy Celtic Church, who assisted by Bishop Bruno Pedrini OSBA KSJA, who on the 11th July 2014 day of St. Benedict, consecrated sub conditione: +Rodolfo González Pérez (Mar Stephanvs I) (1973-), Presiding Bishop of West Liberal 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. +++Consecrations of Newman April 10, 1944: by William Bernard Crow (Mar Abdullah Basilius III), authorized by Arthur Wolfort Brooks (Mar John Emmanuel) Further consecrations (conditional and/or mutual (cross-) consecrations):[clarification needed (see talk) April 4, 1945: by Sidney Ernest Page Needham April 29, 1945: by Charles William Keller (Mar Carolus) May 20, 1945: by Hedley Coward Bartlett August 25, 1945: by John Sebastian Marlow Ward June 6, 1946: by Mar Thoma II Gregorius, Patriarch of the West Indies June 8, 1946 (or possibly June 6, 1946): by William David de Ortega Maxey August 1, 1946: by Charles Leslie Saul (Mar Leofric of Suthonia) June 28, 1947: by Aloysius Stumpfl (Mar Timotheos of Aquileia) July 14, 1947: by Frederick Charles Aloysius Harrington (?)

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.

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."

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”. 37 DOCUMENTOS HISTORICOS Bulla de Consagración de +Joseph Rene Vilatte, Mar Timotheos 38 Carta de Ordenación de Monseñor Vilatett a un Clérigo 39 40 41 Documento de Monseñor +Wallace David de Ortega Maxey 42 Bulla de Consagración de Monseñor Nils Bertil Alexander Persson IGLESIA CATOLICA ORTODXA OCCIDENTAL EN AMERICA 43 Carta Bulla Fundacional de la Iglesia Católica Liberal Fue en el 1917 pero se ratificó con el cambio de nombre en el 1919 44 Aprobado para su difusión solo en el ámbito eclesiástico.
