Has anyone ordained by ULC had trouble with their former religious group?
I am Roman Catholic, and had continued to attend mass after ULC
ordination, but now the Cleveland RC Diocese has sent me a written warning
that if I continue as a ULC minister I will be excommunicated ! This
could invalidate my marriage, keep me from receiving sacraments, being
buried in a Catholic cemetary, etc.

Has anyone else had this problem ? Does anyone have any advise on this
matter ? Thanks in advance.

Though I am not fully knowledgable with regard to your
Constitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms in the USA,
however the RC's seem to be violating your rights and the following
grounds:

freedom of association
freedom of belief
freedom of conscience
and your right to own property....(as the RC faith states
that as a baptized member you are a citizen of the state
of The Vatican entitled to refuge in life and death, which
includes your communal right to pew space and a burial plot,
and as many white cookies and gulps of juice you can stomach).

Now from what I remeber about the USA violating a person's
civil rights is a Federal offence, thereby allowing you
to claim damages and restitution.....

That's a real interesting line of thought. Thank you for the ideas. You
might find my response to the RCD interesting, but I cannot upload it,
it's done in WordPerfect. If you want to give me your name and snail mail
address, I'll send it to you. thanks again. Rev. Jim Sutter Cleveland
