Catholic Clerical Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Catholic Clerical Union was an American Anglo-Catholic organization founded in 1886 as the Clerical Union for the Maintenance and Defence of Catholic Principles, to promote catholic principles and practice in the Episcopal Church. Its membership was open to clergy and seminarians.[citation needed]
In 2006, its website listed chapters for Albany, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, New England, New York-New Jersey-Connecticut, and Northern Indiana. In subsequent years, however, the union became defunct.[citation needed]
An entity with the name "Catholic Clerical Union" was incorporated in California as a domestic non-profit on October 12, 2017 (entity no. 4073892). However, the entity's current status is listed as "Suspended - FTB/SOS" - suspended by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) and/or the Secretary of State (SOS), likely for either unpaid fees and/or failure to file a statement of information (SOS).[citation needed]
