The Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement (ORCM) is a group of priests founded by Fr. Francis E. Fenton acting on the suggestions of Fr. Joaquin Sáenz y Arriaga, S.J., and was the U.S. organization parallel to the Mexican organization ''Unión Catolica Trento'', founded by Fr. Saenz along with Frs. Moises Carmona and Adolfo Zamora. Fr. Fenton was a founding member of the "conservative" John Birch Society, and was on its American Opinion Speakers Bureau. ==Origins== Originally a diocesan priest, Fenton became alarmed at the Vatican II reforms of the liturgy and resulting attacks on traditional Catholic Doctrine being implemented in the U.S., and in March of 1970 he left his Diocese rather than participate in what he saw as the destruction of the Faith. Fr. Fenton continued celebrating his beloved Tridentine Mass but now in a private home in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, and as more traditional-minded Catholics heard about this private Mass, the number of people attending it continued to grow until it was obvious that a larger facility, and one more closely resembling a church, would be needed for the future. In March 1972 members of "the group" acquired a chapel in Brewster, New York. Later they purchased a building that was formerly a Protestant church in Monroe, Connecticut, where in January 1973 they installed as pastor the Dominican priest Fr. Robert McKenna, who had recently joined Fr. Fenton and his newly formed "Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement". By fall 1975, the ORCM had gained Frs. Paul Marceau, Charles P. Donohue, Leo M. Carley and Daniel E. Jones ("Dan Jones"), the English Benedictine Placid White, Joseph Gorecki and some other priests, totaling eleven, and services were being held in California, Colorado, Florida, New Jersey and New York. A growth period followed, and by 1979 a circuit system set up among the eleven priests offered the Tridentine Mass in sixteen states. The ORCM was an active movement, and from its presses came several books and numerous pamphlets on the Mass, modest dress, freemasonry, obedience to the Pope, and modern trends in the Catholic Church. The movement stood firm on its interpretation of Pope Pius V's legislation ''Quo primum tempore'' and its belief that the Mass of Paul VI's was doctrinally unsound, was influenced by Protestant ideas, and was thus following Martin Luther's and Cranmer's gradual, but radical changes to the liturgy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
