Liberal Catholic Churches

[Durham Cicero]

Because I'm working this weekend, I will not be able to attend the Palm Sunday service at my church (Anglican). I am exploring options that offer evening services, and it looks like there are two. One of them is a parish of the American National Catholic Church. From what I've read, it seems like they're a liberal implementation of post-Vatican II Catholicism. Obviously, they're not in communion with Rome. Does anyone here have any experience with churches of this variety?

As far as I know, they are liberal on social issues, and are very small in number. I only know about them because I think there was a parish in North Dakota.

There is also the Old Catholic Church, which separated during Vatican I, and the Polish National Catholic Church, which the RCC recognizes as valid, but illicit.

Yeah, I get the impression that they aren't very common anywhere. This particular parish operates out of an Episcopal church. It seems like there is some general adherence to Catholic theology minus papal supremacy and infallibility, traditional sexual ethics, and closed communion.

They are pro same-sex marriage.

Time for women priests, bishops, and cardinals.

They would help the Catholic Church solve the priests shortages
in western countries.

They would teach women that pregnancy is normal and good.
