Anglicans and Old Catholics ( Full Communion ) THE OLD CATHOLICS - who are they? They are a federation of several independent national Churches in Europe and North America united in the Union of Utrecht on the basis of the faith of the undivided Church of the first ten centuries. They are thus definitely Catholic in faith, order and worship but reject the Papal claims of infallibility and supremacy. They are in full communion with the Churches of the Anglican Communion. They have participated in the World Council of Churches since its beginning and have an official dialogue with both the Orthodox Churches and the Roman Catholic Church. Among them the Archbishop of Utrecht holds a primacy of honour not dissimilar to that accorded in the Anglican Communion to the Archbishop of Canterbury. THE ANGLICANS - who are they? They are a world-wide group of autonomous, episcopally governed churches which are in communion with and accord a primacy of honour to the see of Canterbury. Anglicans affirm that scripture contains all things necessary for salvation; the creeds as the sufficient statement of Christian faith; the sacraments of baptism and holy communion; and the historic episcopate. They embrace a wide spectrum of theological views: evangelical, liberal, and catholic, reflecting the diverse influences which have formed them over the centuries. Anglicans seek to hold this diversity in unity despite the inevitable tensions inherent in such an undertaking. THE BONN AGREEMENT The terms of the Bonn agreement (1931) which led to full communion between Old Catholics and Anglicans, and which continues to be a pattern for further intercommunion relations between the churches, reads as follows:

We accept and believe the testimony of His Apostles, eyewitnesses of His Life, Death and Resurrection from among the dead. They passed on to succeeding generations their own testimony about Jesus Christ and His life. By the proclaiming of His Gospel and the giving of their own testimony (called the Apostolic Tradition), the Church which the Lord instituted was built up. Old Catholics are an historic part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and have their origins in the Ancient Catholic Church of the Netherlands and the Russian Orthodox Church. We will examine the traditions of the Western and Eastern lineage herein. The Ancient Catholic Church of the Netherlands The Church in the Netherlands and the Reformation Armed with the protection of the papal concessions, the Church in the Netherlands continued to minister even through the Reformation. During this period of strife, the Church in the Netherlands, as in many other countries, was forced to "go underground" in order to survive. But survive and remain extant, it did. Eventually, the Archbishop of Utrecht and other Church leaders reached an informal agreement with the civil government, whereby it could again function openly without interference from the Reformers.

Have you felt called to the sacramental priesthood, but lamented to have to put aside your calling because you are married? Have you felt the Holy Spirit calling you to live out the promise of your Baptismal vows? If you answered "Yes", to any of these questions, you may wish to examine the possibility of Holy Orders within the Old Catholic community. Old Catholics share a common foundational history with Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and are a valid, sacramental catholic community of churches. Our clergy represent the clergy of the early years of the fledgling church, where many were married men, who served the Church faithfully, while fulfilling their familial responsibilities as well. Many of our clergy are bi-vocational, meaning that they work in a secular job, as well as fulfill their duties to the Church, others are retired and wish to devote their retiring years in service to God.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Old Catholic Church The Old Catholic Church is a religious denomination that split from the Roman Catholic church in . The founders of the movement were mainly Germans who were deeply disturbed by the promulgation of the dogma of Papal Infallibility at the First Vatican Council of 1869-1870. The Church consists of the Union of Utrecht, the Old Catholic Church in Germany, the Polish National Churches, and smaller movements. It is in full communion with the Anglican Communion , as per the Bonn Agreement of 1931 . The term 'Old Catholic' is used often by many splinter groups, ranging from 'Continuing' or 'Traditionalist' to 'New Age'. Many of these so-called Old Catholic Churches do not exist in reality, only on the internet. The Old Catholic Church traces its origins through the See of Utrecht in Utrecht in the Netherlands , to the founding of that see c. A.D. 695. However, the see itself did not split from the Roman Catholic Church until the Pope tried to sack Archbishop Peter Codde of Utrecht in 1701, urged on by the Jesuits. The Archbishop resented the attempts by Jesuits to interfere with the affairs of his diocese, and they had multiple times accused him of being a Jansenist , a claim he denied. The Dutch refused to accept the replacement the Pope had appointed, and Codde continued in his office; however he resigned in 1703. A replacement Archbishop was not elected until 1723.

Catholicism Also called "Christian Catholic", this church unites the men and women who refused to accept the position defined by the Vatican Council I in 1869. The beginnings Catholic loyalty to the Swiss state was called into question during the second half of the nineteenth century, since the Catholics were opposed to the creation of a federal state in 1848. Catholic ecclesiastic policy and statements made by certain Supreme Pontiffs, who rejected outright the modern notion of the state, only served to aggravate the misunderstanding: in 1864, pope Pius IX published a document listing the 80 propositions or heresies condemned as regards religion, science, politics and economy. A whole host of Catholics refused to venture into this new bellicose tendency of the Roman Church. The proclamation of papal infallibility in 1870 gave them the opportunity they were waiting for to leave the Roman Catholic Church and found a community to their preferences, the Old Catholic Church. The first "association of liberal Catholics" in Switzerland was formed in Olten in 1872. The first parishes were officially recognized as of 1876 in several cantons. Slow depreciation Since 1930, the first year a distinct statistical count of adherents to this community was made, there has been a depreciation in both the number of adherents as well as their proportion to the resident population: of the 37,000 Old Catholics surveyed in 1930 (almost 1% of the population), there now remain less than 12,000 (0.2%).

OLD CATHOLICS OLD CATHOLICS The proceedings of the Vatican council and their outcome had at first threatened to lead to a serious schism in the Church. The minority against the decrees included many of the most distinguished prelates and theologians of the Roman communion, and the methods by which their opposition had been overcome seemed to make it difficult for them to submit. The pressure put upon them was, however, immense, and the reasons for submission may well have seemed overwhelming; in the end, after more or less delay, all the recalcitrant bishops gave in their adhesion to the decrees. The movement thus entered a new phase, the congress occupying itself mainly with the formation of a more definite organization and with the question of reunion with other Churches. The immediate effect was a fateful divergence of opinion; for many who sympathized with the opposition to the extreme papal claims shrank from the creation of a fresh schism. Prince Chlodwig Hohenlohe, who as prime minister of Bavaria had attempted to unite the governments against the definition of the dogma, refused to have anything to do with proceedings which could only end in the creation of a fresh sect, and would make the prospect of the reform of the Church from within hopeless; more important still, Dallinger refused to take part in setting up a separate organization, and though he afterwards so far modified his opinion as to help the Old Catholic community with sympathy and advice, he never formally joined it.

Welcome on the English language pages of this web site! All Christians, regardless of their denominational affiliation, are welcome to worship with us and to receive communion. We live in full communion with the Anglican and Episcopalian Churches. We emphasize Catholic liturgy, biblical preaching and mainly traditional hymns. Old-Catholic Our parish is part of a independent Catholic Reform Church: our name acknowledges the diversity and the essential teaching and institutions of Christianity during the first millennium, in German we are called the "Old Church". Parish As a part of the "Catholic Diocese of the Old Catholics in Germany" we arrange our ecclesiastical life within the rules set down by our Reformed Catholic Church. We take special care in the conduct of worship, to enrich the community and for deepening and passing on of the faith, which is based in Jesus Christ and his act of reconciliation. Reformed Catholics Based on critical examination of the historical witness of early Christianity, the leaders of the Old Catholic Church developed an episcopal, synodical church structure, which incorporates the Apostolic, episcopal and priestly offices into democratic structures at all levels. To make our catholic renewal visible, we add the description "Reformcatholics" in brackets to our name, because many people misunderstand "Old Catholic" as being very conservative. History of the congregation After the First Vatican Council (1870), congregations of Catholic Christians were formed in German-speaking countries whose consciences prevented them from accepting the new dogmas of the Pope's infallibility and his jurisdictional primacy and who retained their previous beliefs. After a prelude in the village Mering (1871 - 1878), our parish was founded in 1894 through Rev. Anton Gatzenmeier (Munic) and Friedrich Trient (Augsburg).

HOME TODAY BACKGROUND AFFILIATIONS Its message: The love of Christ urges us on. Old Catholics in this country have a rich heritage, but ours is not a preservationist movement, keeping old ways only as a "museum piece" or source of nostalgia. We have indeed received the rich treasures of the Catholic Faith, and we are moved by God's love through Christ onward, to receive Him and His Love manifestly through the Word and Sacrament in our churches, to share that Love with each other as a community of Christians, and to take it into the world, our neighborhoods, and communities, so hungry for the Divine Compassion. And so our message is at once one with the centuries, and one with the present time, that God's Love is so limitless that it reached down from heaven in the Divine Person of Jesus Christ, and is present and available to us all. He is with us in Word and Sacrament, and He seeks a dwelling place in each of our hearts. Its Ministry Our Lord, Jesus Christ, commissioned the Apostles with two great missions to fulfill. First, to go into all the world and carry His message of Love to all people (St. Matthew 16:15)

They served as the basis for the Union of that body, from which the Old Catholic Church of America descends, with the Holy Orthodox Church of Beirut, Syria, in the Patriarchate of Antioch. Dogmatic Articles 1. The Way of Salvation. Eternal Salvation is promised to mankind only through the merits of our Savior Jesus Christ, and upon condition of obedience to the teaching of the Gospel, which requires Faith, Hope and Charity, and the due observance of the ordinances of the Orthodox and Catholic Religion. 2. Faith, Hope and Charity. Faith is a virtue infused by God, whereby one accepts, and believes without doubting, whatever God has revealed in the Church concerning true Religion. Hope is a virtue infused by God, and following upon Faith; by it one puts their entire trust and confidence in the goodness and mercy of God, through Jesus Christ, and looks for the fulfillment of the Divine promises made to those who obey the Gospel.

The Move from Isolation In the United States Bishop de Landes Berghes, in spite of great difficulty and isolation from the Utrecht Union of Churches, due to Bishop Mathew withdrawing from the Union, was able to plant the roots of an independent expression of Catholicism in America. He elevated to the episcopacy two priests, Carmel Henry Carfora and William Francis Brothers. Each of these bishops, in his own manner, continued the mission begun by Bishop de Landes Berghes. With the passing of these original organizers from the ecclesiastical scene, the Independent Catholic Churches in the United States have evolved from a fairly centralized administration with structured oversight of ministry to a local and regional model of administration with self-governing dioceses and provinces more closely following St. Ignatius of Antioch's concepts of the Church as a communion of communities each laboring together to proclaim the message of the Gospel.
