Rómulo Antonio Braschi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rómulo Antonio Braschi (born December 25, 1941 in Buenos Aires ) is an Argentine bishop of the Free Catholic Church .

Life

Braschi studied Catholic theology and was ordained a priest in August 1966 . He belonged to the movement of the labor priests in South America and was a member of the Movimiento de Sacerdotes para el Tercer Mundo (MSTM) organization. Disappointed with the behavior of the church during the dictatorship in Argentina, he distanced himself from the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church .

In 1975 he founded a church independent from the Holy See in Buenos Aires and thus incurred the penalty of excommunication . The Free Catholic Church was created with its seat in Munich . He was ordained bishop of this church by Hilarios Ungerer . Braschi also attributes his "sub conditione" episcopal ordination, which he allegedly carried out on January 30, 1999 - according to the notarial act - to Jerónimo José Podestá .

In 2002, Braschi consecrated nine women as priestesses on a ship on the Danube in an act that was invalid under Roman Catholic church law . These nine women included the Roman Catholic German theologians Ida Raming , Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger , Adelinde Theresia Roitinger , Gisela Forster , Iris Müller , Pia Brunner and the American theologian Dagmar Braun Celeste . According to their act contrary to the teaching and the law of the Roman Catholic Church, these six women were excommunicated on December 21, 2002 . The Roman Catholic Church described the consecration in retrospect as "absurd theater and a sect spectacle".
