MPN is a liberal Catholic organization calling for relaxing the rules concerning marriage in the Latin Church's priesthood.
"[1] Milingo gained international attention in September 2006 when he illicitly ordained four married men (George Augustus Stallings Jr. of Washington, D.C.; Peter Paul Brennan of New York City; Patrick Trujillo of Newark, New Jersey; and Joseph Gouthro of Las Vegas, Nevada) as bishops.
[2] Milingo organized two meetings in the fall of 2006 of many married Catholic priests from the USA, Europe, South America, and Africa in New Jersey.
Partly in response to Milingo's initiative a meeting was held in Rome to discuss whether to change the rule of celibacy.
[3] Due to Milingo’s excommunication and his connection with the non-Catholic religious leader Sun Myung Moon, two groups of former Catholic priests who are pushing for a married priesthood, issued warnings against MPN.
