After 2 weeks waiting for a reply, as the Priest in charge was over in Europe, (in charge of unanswerable questions: mine) I just received a phone call from Washington, DC.(10:30 AM Fri Nov 13)
There is NO RECORD WHATSOEVER of a bishop that is in anyway
connected with the Roman Catholic Catholic Church
or the Eastern Catholic Churches.
Ambrose .... Moran.. other spellings etc.
http://usccb.org/about/bishops-and-dioceses/index.cfmThey have a database as of June 2015 of every Bishop acceptable to a Roman Catholic (us, you and me).
Father Rod Robertson (USCCB) also said "No such thing as a Papal Prelacy"
He also said there are MANY fraudulent bishops running around the USA.
Read the following for the USCCB on the "Eastern Churches" which are LEGITIMATE!!!
.................................................................................................
Eastern Catholic Churches are churches with origins in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa that have their own distinctive liturgical, legal and organizational systems and are identified by the national or ethnic character of their region of origin Each is considered fully equal to the Latin tradition within the Church In the United States, there are Eastern Church dioceses (called eparchies) and two Eastern Church archdioceses (or archeparchies), the Byzantine Catholic Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and the Ukrainian Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
The apostolic exarchate for the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church in the United States is headed by a bishop who is a member of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops An apostolic exarchate is the Eastern Catholic Church equivalent of an apostolic vicariate It is not a full-fledged diocese/eparchy, but is established by the Holy See for the pastoral care of Eastern Catholics in an area outside the territory of the Eastern Catholic Church to which they belong It is headed by a bishop or a priest with the title of exarch.
The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter was established January 1, 2012, to serve former Anglican groups and clergy in the United States who sought to become Catholic Similar to a diocese though national in scope, the ordinariate is based in Houston and includes parishes and communities across the United States that are fully Catholic, while retaining elements of their Anglican heritage and traditions.
