Kitchener Waterloo Traditional Catholic This blog is to guide those seeking the Church's traditional liturgy, devotions, teachings, and cultural identity in the Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph areas and beyond. It does not bear any bishop's imprimatur, nor is associated with the Diocese of Hamilton, any parish, order, or lay association. Actually being Catholic isn't easy, but it's simple if you know how. Our will that Catholics should abstain from certain appellations which have recently been brought into use to distinguish one group of Catholics from another.
They are to be avoided not only as 'profane novelties of words,' out of harmony with both truth and justice, but also because they give rise to great trouble and confusion among Catholics.
Such is the nature of Catholicism that it does not admit of more or less, but must be held as a whole or as a whole rejected: 'This is the Catholic faith, which unless a man believe faithfully and firmly; he cannot be saved' Athanasian Creed. There is no need of adding any qualifying terms to the profession of Catholicism: it is quite enough for each one to proclaim 'Christian is my name and Catholic my surname,' only let him endeavour to be in reality what he calls himself.
This was predicted here on April 29 in a post entitled, " Rev Michael Coren ". What else does one do with a Masters Of Divinity degree? Actually, one cannot be an "ex-Catholic". It's a membership for eternity and he'll be judged accordingly when his time comes. One can be a dissident, heretical, or schismatic Catholic, but once you've accepted the Truth there is no denying it without damning consequences.
The saddest part of this scandal is Coren knows this and more. In Christopher Ovsenny informed Coren that another writer had called him a 'literary prostitute'. In the same article Ovsenny quotes Coren's wife as saying "Who is this man I'm sleeping with? I'm told Bernadette Coren is a practicing, orthodox Catholic so I wonder what she's thinking now. In his social media platforms Coren accuses anyone sticking to Church teaching on homosexuality as, of course, homophobic.
