No Way APA REC
 
    

Oh Well. . . .

The REC-APA joining seems to have gone by the wayside as the REC has (by pontifical edict) decided to join the even more heretical ACNA with its own Anglo-Catholicism, women ministers, and charismatic tendencies.  Proving the "slippery slope" spoken of in Scripture.

(II Cor. 6:14)

See how many ways you can find where the finished work of our Lord is denied by Mass, sacrifice, priests, etc.!

How bad can it be?  Look at these comments (located on another site not related to no-way-apa)!


 

Comments from other sites regarding no-way-apa

"The REC is obviously going to fraction as its more Catholic element (seen in those photos) tries to close the ideological gap with Anglo-Catholic jurisdictions*. Still, it's always nice to see the Catholic-leaning moving in a Catholic direction. If the REC loses members to Presbyterians, so be it."
 

"The 35 Articles were a goof-up of the first magnitude which I think an ailing Cummins was buffaloed into accepting." (YSR!!  Your "thoughts" do not match the historical records of Bp. Cummins own hand, but why let details like that get in the way of broadcasting ignorance? NWAPA)

 

No Way APA

A wonderful anglo-catholic friend in the early stages of pursuing holy orders told me over some drinks the other night that he had come across the the "No Way APA" website. We joked at how silly it is. This site is run by someone who is obviously not excited about the APA and REC merging. For it exposes all of the "awful" catholic things that we do in the APA.

To be sure, it is accurate in some ways. Yes, we do offer the Blessed Virgin Mary the WORTH-ship (hyperdulia) that she is worthy of; we do recommend and practice private confession as it is one of the seven sacraments; we have lots of ritual (following Ritual Notes, of course); we celebrate the Sacrifice of the Mass; we pray for the dead; and more. But it is inaccurate in other ways. First of all, we worship (dulia) other saints too...not only Mary. Also, the site suggests that we have only "semi-nuns". I object to that... we have full nuns, just to set the record straight (The Order of St. Athanasius).

It is worth noting that the "No Way APA" website has been condemned by the bishops of the REC, who, besides being thoroughly catholic, are in full support of merging with the APA. It is too bad that those running it do not take the time to learn and study about catholic theology. Sadly, their error is just as bad as the ultramontane Roman Catholic who erects all sorts of straw men about protestantism, and never takes the time to seriously study it.

QED - NWAPA

Recent communication:

I hope there are more of you ultra evangelicals out there to discourage this forth coming "union" with APA in 2008!

I certainly want nothing to do with the "People of The 39 Articles" anymore than you want to accept the "True and Historic Catholic Faith" as set down by  Jesus Christ and his Apostles.

My parish will pray continuously the Holy Rosary and also to Mary, Mother of God,  not let this unthinkable merger occur.

 

Response:

Thank you! Thank you very much!  A favor.  In your prayers, could you include prayers to Buddha, Confucius, Allah and other minor "deities", since you seem to have  a prayer relationship with false gods and idols.

We will pray to the Almighty God, through His only Mediator, Jesus Christ, that the Holy Ghost may move in the hearts of Maryologists and other idolaters and regenerate them, equipping them to enter into the joy of Heaven through the finished work of our Lord. This is the truly "catholic" position of the Scripture and Church, free of the vain inventions of ignorant, arrogant, and sinful men. - NWAPA


II Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (AV)
