Why we are different
Priests may marry and have
families.
Individuals may divorce and remarry, being reconciled to the Church
through the grace of God and are not excluded from the Sacraments.
Artificial contraception is an issue of conscience between the husband,
wife and God.
No Christian is excluded from the sacramental ministry.
All baptized
Christians are invited to participate in the worship and sacraments of
the Church.
We recognize the Declaration of Utrecht, a translation of the
Profession of Faith, formulated by Old Catholic Bishops
assembled September 24, 1889.
Priests who have left other Catholic Churches because they fell in love
and married may join the Mexican National Catholic Church
if they are
otherwise fit to Serve and the Archbishop approves their service.
Priests are given the option to use any liturgy that has had prior
approval from the Archbishop.
The Bible is clear on the issue of homosexuality as is tradition and
teaching of the church fathers.
A homosexual is barred from seminary
and all ministry by canon law in our jurisdiction.
Mexican National Catholic
Church has a "Zero Tolerance Policy" to the
following:
Child Molesters will be
turned over to
local
authorities for Criminal Prosecution and Excommunicated immediately
upon conviction.
Substance abusers (Priests, Nuns, and/or
Brothers)
will be removed from Service pending their demonstrated and total
rehabilitation.
Sexual Harassment, Embezzlement,
Criminal Activity, Verbal or Physical
Abuse by Priests, Nuns or Brothers.
The MNCC will only ordain
Priests after all requirements are met:
Priests
of the Diocese must have a BA, MA and Doctoral Degree prior to
Ordination.
Priests must submit fingerprints
for a Criminal Background
Check, Credit Check, and investigation of their Character.
All
Candidates for Priesthood must complete two years in a Mentorship
Program prior to Ordination.
The Mentorship Program may be done
concurrently with Doctoral Studies.
Large Congregations may wish to
build and to maintain multi-purpose
buildings that will serve to:
House the temporarily homeless;
Act as schools during the day and in the
evening;
Serve as food banks to feed the hungry;
Act as free clinics for immunizations
and for general medical care; and,
Serve as centres for seniors, child care
or occupational training.
Our Churches are decorated with style and taste while avoiding the use of Gold, Precious Stones and similar items that wring resources from the community that could be better used to help those in need.
The MNCC will accept donations
from institutions, companies,
governments, individuals of extreme and extraordinary wealth and from
estates.
Members of the MNCC are
encouraged to live with joy, gratitude and to
pray by saying, "Thank You" instead of "Give Me".
