This is the American who claims to be the true pope of the Catholic Church.

From Kara Goldfarb

For David Bowen, Kansas is not just the Sunflower State; it is the Holy See. Bouden is convinced that since Pope Pius XII died in 1958, the church has been led by a deceptive pope. He believes that the real head of the church is Pope Michael 's name he gave himself in an improvised papallus.

On July 16, 1990, acting under the assumption that there was no pope in the church's direction, David Bouden held a papal agreement in Belvo, Kansas, U.S.A., and was selected by six persons (including himself and his parents) to be the new pope.

Bouden, born September 22, 1959, was raised by devoted Catholic parents. From an early age, he felt the call to become a priest. At the same time, however, he was disappointed with the Second Vatican Council. Ecumenical counsel of the Catholic Church has existed for 2,000 years.

They are congregations of church officials appointed by the pope to determine doctrine and truths of faith.

Vatican Council II, also called Vatican II, opened its works in Rome on October 11, 1962, under Pope John X 6 / 15 The outcome of that council resulted in a significant and radical change in the Catholic Church after it intended to reshape the institution for the modern era.

He decided to remove the obligation to keep Mass in Latin, allowing the priests to Mass in their native languages and allowed greater tolerance for religious freedom. As the professor of theology, Christopher Beglow:”Cisha began to look closely at ways in which modern thinkers tried to promote human dignity, and showed how they and the Gospels are composers”.

But this was not well received by David Bowen and his family. In response to what they described as church treason, in the 1970 ' s the Boden family began pursuing a traditional movement founded by French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, called St. Pis X Society.

David Bowen attended in 1978 a seminar conducted by society in Armada in Michigan.

Because of what he described as only a <x0 war>”, Bouden was expelled from society. This is when he decided that if the true Catholic Church were to return, he would have to do so on his own. I started buying books, putting myself in the hands of the Holy Spirit, and I started studying” - he said. He co-written a book with a woman named Teresa Stanfield-Bens, titled “, will the Catholic Church survive the 20th century?

The authors argue that with the death of Pope Pius XII, “vdiq” and the Catholic Church, since the followers abandoned traditional church teachings. thus, Bowen concluded that the church needed a new pope. This led to a “Papal array” on July 16, 1990. The Bouden family David and his parents gathered at a modified church shop, and elected him to the top of “patit”.

The small group in Belvu, Kansas, proclaimed the traditional message of “Habmus papam”, or “E we have a Pope”. Pope Michael was a tribute to the Archangel Michael, the religious hero of Bouden. The power of being “pape” was not limited to the community around it. I realized that I am now responsible for 6 billion souls on Earth” - he said.

But since then, Pope Michael has backed his responsibility as “Pope”. Living with his mother in Delia, Kansas, the Church of Boden is largely kept up with family money and donations. He holds prayer rings, performs the Cross's journey, maintains his website, as well as corruption with young church followers.

There Pope Michael posts video and a bulletin. It also holds active social media sites to engage people with the church, and attract new followers. The page website declares, “Welcome to the Vatican page on Mergim”. This page is under the authority of Pope Michael, who is the pope of the Catholic Church.

He says there are about 30 stable “followers, with others coming and leaving all these years. In 2010, a long documentary titled” Papa Michael” spoke of the life of Bouden and his seminarist, Phil Friedle, who was still a baby when Bouden became “Pope”. For David Bowen, the best thing about being “pape” is “that I could never be outside the church”, he said. The lessons say the Pope can never be punished by God” /In Albanian from the world.al
