We've picked - up segments of an official letter off Bishop Armando Ochoa's own diocesan website 8/31/2009 10:05 AM .

"To the clergy, Religious and Lay Faithful of the Diocese:

"It has recently come to my attention that certain priests and / or their lay associates called Misioneros de Cristo Sacerdote [MCS] have been promoting a devotion to La Virgin del Rosario del Pozo.

"The priests in question had in fact been given permission a number of years ago to work and form their seminarians in El Paso.

"However, this permission is hereby revoked and the Misoneros de Cristo Sacerdote arenot authorized to solicit any donations for themselves or this devotion either directly or through others.

"In addition, they are not authorized for any kind of ministry in the Diocese of El Paso.

"The Archbishop of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and our own Archbishop of San Antonio, have both refused to endorse the Misioneros de Cristo Sacerdote and their devotion.

"I understand that there is also a group of women religious, called Hermanas Misioneras de la Restitución.

"This group, also connected to the above movement, has never been officially accepted for any apostolate in the Church...
