Prepare to embark on a profound journey through the intricacies of the Catholic Church as we delve into Episode 11 of Your Radical Truth podcast. In this episode, host Margaret Mary O'Connor engages in a candid conversation with the remarkable Bishop Cáit Finnegan-Grenier, offering a glimpse into the concealed truths that often lie beneath the surface.   Bishop Cáit's life story is nothing short of extraordinary. Born into an Irish family deeply rooted in music and poetry, she draws spiritual inspiration from her beloved grandmother, setting the stage for a unique spiritual journey. From there, she followed a winding path to become an ordained priest in the Celtic Christian Church and a member of the Order of the Merciful Christ.   But this path was not straightforward. It was shaped by an unlikely love story – her marriage to an ordained priest in 1980. Together, they faced numerous trials and tribulations, ultimately leading them to establish the Good Tidings Ministry, a platform dedicated to addressing the painful issue of sexual abuse within the Church.   This experience reinforced Cáit's belief in the urgent need for individuals within the Church who serve willingly, transcending clerical entitlement. Her ministry extends to providing spiritual guidance to abuse victims and priests transitioning from clerical life.   The conversation takes a thought-provoking turn as it explores the challenges faced by married priests and their spouses within the Catholic Church. Bishop Cáit and her husband recognized the need for support within their community, giving rise to the Good Tidings Ministry, which offered assistance, legal guidance, and a network for individuals navigating complex relationships involving priests.   Abuse scandals within the Church are also addressed head-on. The discussion underscores the importance of accountability and sheds light on the parallels between victims of abusive priests and those of abusive sisters. Bishop Cáit emphasizes the critical necessity of acknowledging wrongdoing, breaking free from institutional structures, and protecting all victims.   The impact of celibacy on the priesthood is another critical topic of conversation. Bishop Cáit acknowledges that celibacy can pose significant challenges, with some priests not genuinely called to it, leading to loneliness and personal struggles. She believes that celibacy, in many ways, affects the priesthood's image and attractiveness to new vocations.   Throughout the episode, you are introduced to the Celtic Christian Church, a spiritual home that welcomes individuals of diverse backgrounds, orientations, and experiences. This inclusive environment provides a refreshing alternative to traditional Catholicism, emphasizing spiritual richness and openness.   Bishop Cait's story is a testament to the courage of individuals committed to uncovering hidden truths and advocating for change within the Church. It also highlights the transformative power of Celtic spirituality, providing an inclusive and welcoming spiritual home for people from all walks of life.   Explore these profound insights into the Catholic Church and spirituality by visiting www.YourRadicalTruth.com/011-Cait-Finnegan .  #YourRadicalTruth #CatholicChurch #Inclusivity #Transformation #CelticSpirituality #AbuseScandals

During this episode of the Your Radical Truth podcast, host, Margaret Mary O'Connor, talks with Catherine Marie, woman priest. They delve into the captivating story of Catherine Marie's remarkable journey of spirituality and self-discovery. From her Catholic upbringing to her exploration of various faith traditions, Catherine's quest ultimately led her to become an ordained priest in the Independent Catholic Church. Catherine shares the challenges she faced, the truths she discovered, and the profound significance of everyday spirituality in her life. Catherine Marie's Spiritual Odyssey: Catherine Marie's spiritual journey commenced within the confines of the Roman Catholic Church, where she was baptized and raised. However, her dissatisfaction with the Church's treatment of women and the imposed limitations on them propelled her to seek alternative paths. As a nurse, wife, and mother, she embarked on a quest to uncover her own spiritual truth, venturing into different denominations and even traveling to India, where she explored Hinduism and Buddhism. During her exploration, Catherine encountered the concept of a feminine image of God, which challenged the prevailing male-dominated perspective within Christianity. She resonated deeply with the notion that spirituality transcends gender and that women are equally capable of answering their divine calling. Her experiences and observations gradually led her to question the power dynamics and patriarchal structures entrenched within religious institutions.

This is Father Anne's second visit to the Your Radical Truth Podcast Show. Digging deeper into what it means to be a woman in a leadership role in the Catholic Church, host Margaret Mary O'Connor and Father Anne discuss the history of the Church like you've never heard it before. A question Father Anne receives frequently is, “Why did you choose ‘Father' as your title?” She chose the title for a few reasons. First, in the Roman Catholic Church, this is a conduit of a symbol heavily relied upon of God's action in and through the symbolism. Father Anne is fully aware that she is stretching the symbol to include the body of a woman, and this is a way to expand the Catholic imagination. Taking on the same commitments as her male counterparts, such as celibacy, prayers of the Roman Missal and the traditional language of the church, Father Anne is one of 260 ordained Roman Catholic Priests around the world. Father Anne is fully aware that many Catholics are not on board with women being ordained. And yet, this is part of her ministry… raising awareness. Both Margaret Mary O'Connor and Father Anne feel the need to raise this awareness about changing times.  According to both, Catholics are unprepared for the normal growth that must take place if we are in relationship with a living God. http://www.YourRadicalTruth.com

Margaret Mary O'Connor has made it her mission to reveal the truth of Your Catholic Church. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University At Buffalo (NY), and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry from Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora, NY. She is a former Chaplain and is currently a Eucharistic Minister at Our Lady of Charity Parish where, ironically, the Church windows depict the Vatican II Council. One window represents the “Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World,” which includes an article that speaks directly to ending sexual discrimination of all kinds in our Church. In this time of Church upheaval, O'Connor, as author of Scandal in the Shadows, has uncovered secrets which were conveniently buried away in hopes they would never see the light of day. Enter Margaret Mary O'Connor. O'Connor literally “walks the walk” on picket lines to help keep this issue of Women's Ordination in the forefront of Catholics' minds. She also pickets for Church accountability on the priest sexual-abuse issue. As a fellow member of the Laity, herself, she believes any Catholic, deserves at minimal at least the truth from Rome, as opposed to the continual outright deception they are receiving. She also is a member of Call to Action, Future Church, Roman Catholic Women Priests, the Women's Ordination Conference, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), Preservation Buffalo Niagara and Western New York Land Conservancy and Buffalo Central Terminal. Margaret truly encountered a life-altering experience she will never forget. Living twenty years with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease, her life was literally hell. Beyond the daily physical symptoms to deal with, were the emotional ones as well. She was told by two doctors that basically her physical symptoms of vomiting, great loss of weight, anemia, and diarrhea (to name a few) were all in her head. The doctor she really needed to see, they told her, was a Psychiatrist. It's truly a miracle she is alive today, thanks to finally finding a doctor who actually ordered tests to find the reason for her illness – which turned out to be celiac disease. She will never forget when her doctor told her she would have been “six feet under” within six months. Her twin-sister Pat, had brain cancer, and never got to have that second chance at life. But Margaret feels incredibly fortunate to have her life back again. It's like she is seeing life from a new and different perspective, and every moment has become wonderfully precious. All she knew was that after losing twenty years of her life to sickness, to now being free to begin again was incredible. Today she lives life to the fullest and her latest adventure is writing, something she had never done before. She knows from experience that having her own story ignored is the reason she brings a visceral passion to her writing. If one side of a story is ignored, you will miss its reality and truth. Her book “Scandal in the Shadows,” brings forth the very truth of a Church issue which indeed will impact on your own future faith life. When not writing, speaking or being interviewed by the media, O'Connor enjoys gardening, and reading mystery books, along with volunteering for Pete's Pillows and Alzheimer's events. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wvuncommonplace/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wvuncommonplace/support

Special Guest Margaret Mary O'Connor-Author, Speaker, Expert on Early History of the Catholic Church, Podcast Featured Expert on Topics on CatholicismMargaret Mary O'Connor has a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Buffalo, and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry, from Christ The King Seminary in East Aurora, NY, she is a former Chaplain and currently is a Eucharistic Minister. Our Guest literally walks the walk, on picket lines to help keep the issues of Women's Ordination and Church Accountability on the Priest Sexual Abuse Issue, at the forefront of any Catholic's attention, and she believes any Catholic, deserves at minimal at least the truth from Rome, as opposed to the continual out right deception they are receiving.

Margaret offers Chapter Four of her book, free to read to members of our audience. There is also a petition regarding the issue of bringing Mary Priests title back into the Church, and for the hierarchy to finally address the issue of women's inequality in the Catholic Church today.About the Book To some, Church history might sound dry or even boring. With her book "Scandal in the Shadows" you will never view Church history as boring… ever again. Most people have preconceived thoughts of women becoming priests. Whatever beliefs you may have, you will soon realize things are not at all as they appear. The very shadow of women priest's actual history is truly like a phantom from the shadows, residing within the graveyard of Papal records. Its' very voice having been lost for centuries, is now but a whisper wanting to be heard for today's Catholics. Readers will discover skeletons in the closets of our Church's past history. They will also uncover threads of early Church History, which very well might hold the answer to helping begin to solve our current priest shortage in the Catholic Church today. Most Catholics have never heard of Mary Mother of God and the Priesthood. Scandal in the Shadows not only reveals this deeply hidden secret, but for the reader's, they will also learn about Mary attired in a chasuble and stole.With each answer comes another question. Questions like, “What exactly precipitated not only this abrupt centuries old turnaround regarding the actual history of Mary Mother of God as Mary Priest, but this very move as so very disrespectful indeed, to one of the most credible woman priest of all time?” The hierarchy certainly does not see any women's equality in our Church as even an issue today. What would restoring this previously lost heritage of women priests mean to your faith life today? Millions of Catholics are unaware of the past presence of Women Bishops, Women Deacons and Women Priests in their Church's history. How could you know, when your own Church never disclosed the actual truth of this matter to you? Scandal in the Shadows explores why it is acceptable for Rome to betray the laity about the real past Church history.

Have women always been forbidden from serving as priests? Or is the Church's current ruling on the issue little more than a cover-up? These questions finally came into focus for Margaret Mary O'Connor when, well into her adult life, she John Wijngaards' 2001 book The Ordination of Women in the Catholic Church. O'Connor is a life-long, devout Catholic, who always questioned the muted role women were allowed to play in her Church. She always suspected there might be more (or less) to the arguments the Church made about the ordination of wome, and Wjingaard's book sent her down a research rabbit hole which ultimately led to her publishing her own conclusions in her book Scandal in the Shadows: The Original Priest - Mother Mary. O'Connor has since dedicated her time to vocally, openly championing the ordination of Catholic women, and to exposing the sexual abuse scandal that continues to cast a shadow over the institution she loves. She holds a Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry, from Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora, New York and is a a Eucharistic Minister at Our Lady of Charity Parish in Buffalo, New York.

Margaret Mary O'Connor had dreamed of being a Catholic Priest since she was a little girl. It didn't take long for her to learn, however, that this role was not meant for women, but only for men. She began questioning why women were never allowed to become priests and if there had ever been any female priests in history. What she found was shocking! Margaret Mary has spent most of her life as an activist to reveal the truth of the Catholic Church.

I was raised in the Anglican church and my husband, Catholic. We drifted away from organized religion because we felt a disconnect between what was being taught and how the church behaved. Besides the unending scandals out of the Catholic, especially here in Canada, they always seem to give women a backseat. This is 2021 and women still aren't permitted to become priests in the Catholic church. Where am I going with all this? In this episode, I chat with Margaret Mary O'Connor who wrote Scandal In The Shadows and is blowing the lid off the secrets that the Catholic church has been hiding about the role of women in history.

What if in the beginning of the Christ Movement there were women apostles, priests, deacons, and bishops?

She is a former Chaplain and is currently a Eucharistic Minister at Our Lady of Charity Parish where, ironically, the Church windows depict the Vatican II Council. One window represents the “Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World,” which includes an article that speaks directly to ending sexual discrimination of all kinds in our Church. O'Connor literally “walks the walk” on picket lines to help keep this issue of Women's Ordination in the forefront of Catholics' minds. She also pickets for Church accountability on the priest sexual-abuse issue. As a fellow member of the Laity, herself, she believes any Catholic, deserves at minimal at least the truth from Rome, as opposed to the continual outright deception they are receiving. She also is a member of Call to Action, Future Church, Roman Catholic Women Priests, the Women's Ordination Conference, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), Preservation Buffalo Niagara and Western New York Land Conservancy and Buffalo Central Terminal.
