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

From time immemorial Catholic children have had the door opened to their first “sex lesson” by the holy words: “. . . and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.” And from time immemorial Catholic children have been given “Christian concepts on sex” through instructions on the Sixth and Ninth Commandments. Something completely and fundamentally different appears with detailed and explicit lessons provided in classroom sex education. Such lessons often include information scandalous to children. CUF does take a strict position in opposition to all such instructions in the classrooms.
