Community with young vocations has to accept an inconsistency for recognition
EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) is not likely to do a program, or report about a Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles where EWTN is located.They are not recognized by the Archdiocese. Since the Archbishop , like EWTN, assumes the dead are physically visible.These deceased are supposed to be exceptions to all needing to convert into the Catholic Church.This community will not repeat a lie.
This community accepts the traditional interpretation of the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus and are not willing to claim that they can physically see the deceased on earth, who are known exceptions to all needing to convert into the Church for salvation.
They are one of the religious communities of Fr.Leonard Feeney.They are faithful Catholics but they will not ask the Archbishop Jose Gomez for recognition.
Since, the Archbishop 's Office would expect them to affirm that the dead saved, are personally known and visible. EWTN has already accepted this irrationality and proclaims it on its website.Even though no one in Los Angeles can name any such case.
The members of this community live together but have the status of lay persons. They attend Holy Mass at the cathedral and young vocations who have joined them.
A similar community in the diocese of Worcester , USA has been granted canonical status by Bishop Robert McManus, the Bishop of Worcester.
