Army of Mary cast out: Vatican excommunicates members of a Quebec Catholic movement

The faithful have a genuine thirst for God and can easily be led astray if they do not maintain communion and docility (cf. Catechism, no. 67).

This report provides a useful example of the role of the teaching and governing authority of the Church in our salvation. Notice the reasoning of adherents after they entered into error that finally led them to excommunication.

See our Faith Fact on Private Revelation to learn more about St. Paul’s caution: “test everything; hold fast to what is good” (1 Thess. 5:21).

From Our Founder

I also agree that the laity generally are still too passive (that is, when they’re not too aggressively active!). That is really one of the basic reasons for the existence of CUF: to be a little alarm clock to wake people up, and then a center around which they can rally, and act in the way befitting members of Christ’s true Church. . . . The situation keeps changing, and it’s important that the laity try to act under some kind of coordination, which only an organization like CUF can provide.
