Rómulo Antonio Braschi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rómulo Antonio Braschi is an Argentinean Catholic Bishop, controversially not in communion with the Vatican. Born 26 December 1941 in Buenos Aires and ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1966, he was associated with members of the Worker Priests movement in Argentina and the Movimiento de Sacerdotes para el Tercer Mundo (Movement of Priests for the Third World), and was arrested and questioned for these activities during the "Dirty War". Disillusioned by what he perceived as the silence and tacit condemnation of the Church hierarchy in the face of progressive church movements, he distanced himself from the Roman Church, resolving, however, not to abandon his priestly ministry.

"Jesus the King" In 1975 he set up an Independent Catholic church in Buenos Aires Province. In 1978 this became the Catholic Apostolic Charismatic Church of “Jesus the King”, now present in several European and Latin American countries. Bishop Rómulo Antonio Braschi gained the attention of the worldwide press in 2002 when he took part in the ordinations of seven Roman Catholic women, who became known as the Danube Seven. The ordinations led to the women's excommunication by the Vatican. Template:Bishops stub
