Total Rip-off Tuesday: Hubris: "We can do this better than Jesus!"

It never ceases to amaze: a group of people who decide that they can found a church better than the one Jesus did, yet purport to be his followers:

...it’s part of a new independent Catholic movement, the American National Catholic Church, and bills itself as a home for "Contemporary Catholics."

 Founded in 2009 by a bishop and a group of priests seeking a more inclusive religious experience but not ready to leave the Catholic tradition completely, the ANCC aims to follow the spirit of reform established by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).

While the sacraments and many fundamental beliefs remain identical to those of Roman Catholicism, the ANCC presents a more progressive version of Catholicism: divorced members can take Communion, women and gays can be ordained, and priests can marry.
Mass is conducted in the "Novus Ordo" liturgy that was widely practiced in Catholic parishes until last year, when revamped -- some say clunky -- language was introduced by the Vatican. The movement follows a “congregational model” of governance, which means that parishes make decisions largely independent of the national group. And no church leader -- including the pope -- is viewed as superior.

Here's what these folks need to know: stop calling yourselves "Catholics". Whether you know it or not, you're now Protestants. Own it.
