Old Catholics General Information Old Catholics include several small local churches that have separated from the Roman Catholic church. The Church of Utrecht - which was established in 1724 in a dispute over papal charges of Jansenism in Holland - was the first of these churches to separate from Rome. In the 1870s other Old Catholic churches were formed in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria by those Catholics who rejected the dogma of papal infallibility promulgated by the First Vatican Council (1870). The first German bishop was consecrated (1874) by a bishop of the Church of Utrecht. In the United States, Polish Roman Catholics, resentful of domination by non - Polish clergy, split in 1897 to form the National Polish church. Other Slavic groups have also become Old Catholics, as has the Philippine Independent Church (established 1902). Old Catholic churches are in communion with each other and with the Church of England and seek ecumenical relations. Bishops and priests may marry; services generally follow the Roman ritual and are in the vernacular; in some both bread and wine are distributed to the congregation in communion.

Saint Matthew Church An Ecumenical Catholic Community Home An Old Catholic History... The history of the Old Catholic Movement within Catholicism is significant for our faith community because it is from the Old Catholic Church that the Ecumenical Catholic Communion her apostolic succession and her distinctive theological orientation. This article was written by an Old Catholic Benedictine brother who lived in an Old Catholic community in Woodstock, New York. This writing is somewhat dated in that it was written and published in 1941 for a local newspaper, The Catskill Mountain Star The vicissitudes of time and the machinations of men give words strange connotations. Often they no longer fit the mental pictures they create. When Woostockians looked up to Overlook Mountain and saw high on its slopes the gray clad figures of a religious community rehabilitating the deserted little chapel below Mead’s Mountain House, they were puzzled to hear the several young men calling themselves "Old", displaying an evangelistic enthusiasm for a faith they called "Catholic". They were completely nonplused when one of the older men of the community in overalls addressed a similarly clad younger man "Father". Except for the fact that "they never past a collection plate" at Saint Dunstan’s Church but believe instead in laboring with their own hands at crafts that are both beautiful and practical many good folk still know little of their past, their future hopes, their unique doctrinal and ecclesiastical position or of their modern and adaptable approach to the world’s problems. To let them know that in the first place "Old Catholicism" is not merely a local and new cult but a long existent world wide "Movement" that their ministrations are not bound within the limited horizons of creed and denominationalism but extend to the boundless need of people weary of religious disunity and eager for a genuine expression of Christ-likeness, is their own self-desire.

Encyclopedia Old Catholics Old Catholics, Christian denomination established by German Catholics who separated themselves from the Roman Catholic Church when they rejected (1870) the decrees of the First Vatican Council , especially the dogma of the infallibility of the pope. The Old Catholic movement began publicly with a meeting of professors at Nuremberg (1870) under the leadership of Johann Joseph Ignaz von . By 1874, a new church had been established with a bishop consecrated by a Jansenist bishop (see under Jansen, Cornelis ) of the Church of Utrecht, which had itself separated from Rome in an earlier (1724) schism considered to be a precursor of the Old Catholic movement. Church doctrines were codified by the Declaration of Utrecht (1889), which rejected communion with the pope and many Roman Catholic doctrines and practices; priests were allowed to marry and confession was made optional. Roman ritual was retained but was usually performed in the vernacular. Old Catholicism spread to Switzerland and Austria and then to other nations, arriving in the United States as early as 1885. The Polish National Catholic Church of America, one of the most important early groups, was formed in 1897. Christ Catholic Church, established in 1968, is one of the newest. In 1990, U.S. membership in various Old Catholic churches numbered some 500,000. Other important Old Catholic groups include the Philippine Independent Church , with approximately 3 million adherents, and the German Old Catholics, with some 24,000 members. The German church began ordaining women in 1996.

66. Old Catholics - New Doctrines old catholics New Doctrines. The Fr. Vercammen was ordained in the Roman Catholic Church in 1979 and became Old Catholic in 1988. Old http://acca.asn.au/MESS011H/101P1004.html

Old Catholics - New Doctrines The Roman Catholic Cardinal Archbishop of Utrecht says that the selection of an ex-Roman Catholic priest, Fr. Joris Vercammen, to lead the Old Catholic Union of Utrecht adds an "extra problem" to relations between the two churches, but that the larger difficulty is women's ordination in some Old Catholic bodies. Fr. Vercammen was ordained in the Roman Catholic Church in 1979 and became Old Catholic in 1988. Old Catholics reject papal infallibility and certain other positions upheld by Rome, though Old Catholic Orders have been (until recently) recognised by Rome. The 400,000 member Union of Utrecht is officially in communion with the Canterbury led Anglican Communion, with the exception of the Union's largest body, the Polish National Catholic Church (PNCC) in North America. The PNCC broke communion with the Anglican churches of Canada and America, as well as the Church of England in 1992, over women's ordination, and now is estranged from several European Old Catholic bodies which have moved to ordain women. The PNCC has broken communion with Old Catholic churches in Germany, Austria, Holland and Switzerland over the innovation. The significant percentage of ex-Roman Catholics in leadership of European Old Catholic churches seem, in fact, to have catalysed the movement of these bodies to accept female ordination.

Medieval New York New York City Cathedrals By Paul Halsall There seem to be at least churches claiming Cathedral status in New York. The City has many religious communities which maintain bishops claiming "apostolic" descent. These are the main groups. Roman Tradition Latin Catholic - 2 NYC Cathedrals The people usually known as "Roman Catholics" - the historic Church of the West under the immediate supervision of the Pope. Eastern Catholic Churches - 1 NYC Cathedral Sometimes called "Eastern Rite" or "Uniate" churches (although they reject both terms), these a groups of Easter Christians (Both Chalcedonian and Non-Chalcedonian) which united with Rome. Old Catholics Groups which split from Rome over various issues -The Church of Utrecht, -the German "Old Catholics" over papal infallibility. -the Polish National Caholic Church Independent Catholics A number of Old Catholic bishops ordained "independent" bishops. There are now literally hundreds of these "episcopi vagantes", of lesser or greater spiritual probity. They seem to have a tendency to call living room sanctuaries "cathedrals". Liberal Catholic A group which has apparently preserved Catholic Orders, although adopting a Theosophist theology (i.e. a sort of Western Hindu-Buddhism).

74. Saint Bridget Of Sweden The old catholics A Schismatic Organization Jesus Beware of those who start a new church among you. A Roman Catholic Church http://www.ladyofroses.org/brigit.htm

Our Lady speaks to saint Brigit of Sweden, about communion on the tongue REJOICE eternally, most precious body of God, in perpetual honor, continuous victory, and eternal power, with your Father and the Holy Ghost, with the Virgin Mary, your most worthy Mother, and with all the court of heaven! Praise to you, Eternal God, and infinite thanksgiving, because you were pleased to become a man, and you have willed that bread be transubstantiated into your body, through your holy words, and you have given it as meat, through an overabundance of love, for the salvation of our souls! Once it occurred to a person deeply engaged in prayer, to hear a voice saying to her: "You, to whom it has been granted to hear and to see spiritual things, listen now to what I want to reveal to you regarding this archbishop who stated that if he were the pope, he would grant license to all priests to marry, believing and thinking that this would be more pleasing to God than to see so many priests leading such dissolute lives. He further said that, if they married, they would avoid so many sins of the flesh. And even if he had not understood the will of God in all this, he was nonetheless a friend of God. Now I am about to declare to you the will of God in this matter, because I personally gave birth to God, and you will let your archbishop know this, as you address him in the following terms: But after the priests of old had followed this observance for some time, God, through an outpouring of his Spirit, inspired the pope in his heart, to decree that henceforth the priests who consecrate the precious body of Jesus Christ, should no longer marry or enjoy the base delights of the flesh. And from then on, through a divine order, and a just judgment of God, it was justly decreed that priests should live in chastity and continence of the flesh, failing which they would be damned and excommunicated before God, and would deserve to be removed from the priestly position. However, those who would make true amends, with firm resolve to sin no more, would obtain God's mercy.

75. Canon Of The Old Testament A look at how catholics arrived at the current collection of old Testament books. http://www.netacc.net/~mafg/bible01.htm

Canon of The Old Testament by W. Hartono Most of us take it for granted to have a copy of Bible and do not bother to know how we got it. The question how the list of Old Testament books was determined hardly comes to our mind, until some of our non-Catholic friends pointed to us the difference in number of books between our Old Testament and theirs. Catholic Old Testament is longer by seven books: Tobith, Judith, Baruch (with letter of Jeremiah Sirach (or Ecclesiasticus Wisdom and 1 and 2 Maccabees . It has also extra chapters and verses in Daniel and Esther. The total number of Catholic Old Testament books is 46 (or 45 if we combine Jeremiah and Lamentation) while that of Protestant is 39. Based on this difference, they may also accuse that Catholic Church added those seven books in sixteenth century at Council of Trent. Hence a knowledge of historical background of our Old Testament is necessary to really understand the matter. During Jesus time, the Jews did not officially have a list of inspired books or canon. The word "canon" comes from Greek "kanon" meaning a measuring rod. The Hebrew speaking Jews in Palestine are generally known to use 24 books which they divided in three divisions: the Law (5 books of Moses or Pentateuch); the Prophets (4 former and 4 latter prophets) and the Writings (11 books). The Sadducees most likely did not accept Daniel as Dan 12:2 supports resurrection which they denied (Mark 12:18). Others like

Forgive them, Father, ev'ry wrongful deed, And every sin of those four bloody years; And give them strength to bear their boundless loss, And from their hearts take every thought of hate; And while they climb their Calvary with their Cross, Oh! help them, Father, to endure its weight. The Prayer of the South Following the War Between the States (1861-65), Jefferson Davis, President of the defeated Confederate States of America, was imprisoned with a view to his being tried for treason on account of his leadership role in the South's effort to make of itself an independent nation. Two years later, however, he was released and went into exile in Montreal (in Catholic Quebec) and then wandered in Europe before returning to these shores to spend his final days in his home state of Mississippi. His release came after a finding by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Salmon P. Chase, that there was nothing in the U.S. Constitution that prohibited the secession of states. If secession was not illegal, neither Davis nor any other Confederate leaders could be guilty of treason. inside his cell in order to deprive him of all privacy, including even at the times every day when nature required that he take care of the most private needs of all.
