White Robed Monks of St. Benedict An Historic Overview of the Old Roman Catholic Church by The Most Rev. Francis P. Facione It seems appropriate to begin this discussion with a statement of what the Old Roman Catholic Church is not. It is not a sect or a schism as some of its self-appointed critics may claim. The Old Roman Catholic Church is a body of Christians committed to the Person of Jesus Christ and His teaching and, as shall become evident in this article, forms an historic part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. The Old Roman Catholic Church affirms its historic continuity with the Apostolic Church of the first century through the ancient See of Utrecht in Holland. St. Willibrord, the Apostle of the Netherlands was consecrated to the Episcopacy by Pope Sergius I in 696 A.D. at Rome. Upon his return to the Netherlands, he established his See at Utrecht. In addition, he established the dioceses at Deventer and Haarlem. One of his successors was St. Boniface, the Apostle of Germany. The Church of Utrecht also provided a worthy occupant for the Papal See in 1552 in the person of Pope Hadrian VI, while two of the most able exponents of the spiritual life, Geert Groote, who founded the Brothers of the Common Life, and Thomas a Kempis, who is credited with writing the Imitation of Christ, were both from the Dutch Church. Assenting to a petition made by the Holy Roman Emperor, Conrad II and Bishop Heribert of Utrecht, Blessed Pope Eugene III, in the year 1145 A.D., granted the Cathedral Chapter of Utrecht the right to elect successors to the See in times of vacancy. This privilege was affirmed by the Fourth Council of the Lateran in 1215. The autonomous character of the Ancient Catholic Church in the Netherlands was further demonstrated when a second papal grant by Pope Leo X, Debitum Pastoralis, conceded to Philip of Burgundy, the 57th Bishop of Utrecht, that neither he nor any of his successors, nor any of their clergy or laity, should ever, in the first instance, have his cause evoked to an external tribunal, not even under pretense of any apostolic letters whatever; and all such proceedings should be, ipso facto, null and void. This papal concession, in 1520, was of the greatest importance in the defense of the rights of the Church of Utrecht.

83. Contemporary Catholics Hence, The White Robed Monks of St. Benedict are neither Roman Catholic nor old Catholic, Liberal Catholic nor Eastern Catholic. The WRBs are just Catholic. http://www.whiterobedmonks.org/ctmpcat.html

White Robed Monks of St. Benedict Who Are Contemporary Catholics? Vatican II of the Roman Church talked about the church in the modern world. The modern world clearly distinguishes between the extremes of the  fundamental conservatives and the free wheeling liberals. The People exist. In our experience, many of The People care less about church politics and are more interested in The Spirit of The Church. They do not understand the Church's institutionalism, much less the supposed need for institutionalization. These folks are not necessarily alienated or disenfranchised. If any label was to fit, perhaps the word contemporary is most apt. Contemporary Catholics. ( P. Ariosto Coelho The Contemporary Catholic and The White Robed Monks of St. Benedict Therefore, The White Robed Monks of St. Benedict meet the spiritual needs of the Contemporary Catholic. The Contemporary Catholic is very much like Capuchin Father Michael Crosby's Culture II Catholic ( The Dysfunctional Church: Addiction and Codependency in the Family of Catholicism,  Notre Dame: Ave Maria Press, 1991; ISBN  0-87793-455-X). This Catholic has outgrown the co-dependent need to adhere to an institutional church: its petty, bureaucratic, authoritarian, dictatorial, patriarchal, unresponsive ways. He or she is no longer co-dependent on religion to tell him or her what to do and how to do it. The Contemporary Catholic realizes the essence of Christ's message was one of love, forgiveness, compassion, and service. The Contemporary Catholic appreciates Christ's essential message: Love God, Love neighbor (Christ's only two commandments).

Most churches have a bishop at their head, stand alone and independently of one another, as for example the Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox churches. The bishops of the Roman catholic dioceses, however, recognise the leadership of the pope in Rome. Most catholic dioceses in Germany are named after the town where the bishop has his seat, as for example Magdeburg, Berlin, Erfurt. - It is less well known that besides these, there exists a diocese of Old-Catholics in Germany as well.

Catholicism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Catholicism , according to the OED , is a term that implies adherence to the Catholic Church, usually the Roman Catholic Church The 1991 Webster's defines Catholicism as "the faith, system, and practice of a Catholic church, esp. the Roman Catholic Church". An earlier Webster's lists two ecclesiastical meanings: "the whole orthodox Christian church, or adherence thereto;" and "the doctrines or faith of the Roman Catholic chuch, or adherence thereto."

The claimants have in common an assertion that they represent the ancient undivided Christian faith , and differ on the practical meaning of "unity" within that faith. Over the centuries, within the Christian faith there arose disputes about the truths of the faith, and vocabulary evolved to reflect divergent viewpoints. "Catholic" and "Orthodox" are examples of such terms, each with a basic meaning

89. NCCA: The Independent/Old Catholic Movement - A Primer America. The Independent/old Catholic Movement A Primer. The old Catholic Church enjoyed considerable growth in Germany and Austria. Then http://members.aol.com/NatCathCh/primer.html

The National Catholic Church of America The Independent/Old Catholic Movement - A Primer by The Most Reverend Richard G. Roy, OSJD Broadly speaking, Independent Catholics are those Christians who accept the early Ecumenical Councils of the Undivided Church, the sufficiency of Sacred Scripture, a sacramental theology and liturgical life, and who recognize the historic episcopate with its three distinct orders of bishop, priest and deacon, but who are not under the jurisdiction of the Roman Pontiff - the Pope. This would include major church bodies such as the Anglican Communion and the Orthodox Church. More often, it refers to those churches that are able to trace the lineage of their Holy Orders (Apostolic Succession) back to the independent See of Utrecht (Holland), commonly called the Old Catholic Church. While there are many other independent lines, including some branches of Orthodoxy, the majority of independent jurisdictions can trace their beginnings to the Old Catholic Church; we will, therefore, confine our discussion to jurisdictions of that tradition. While formally established in the 19th century, Old Catholicism has its roots in 17th century European history. Our story begins with the Dutch theologian Cornelius Jansen (1585-1638), leader of a mystical movement within the Roman Catholic Church, whose followers (Janesenists) had established a stronghold in Port Royal, France following his death. The Jansenists were forced to flee to Protestant-dominated Holland to escape the persecution of Rome, which condemned their teachings, and the Jesuits, with whom they were bitter enemies.

Western Liturgical Family THE ANGLICAN TRADITION The Church of England is also called the Anglican Church. In the United States after the Revolutionary War it has usually been called Episcopalian. When Henry VIII split with Rome in the 16 th century the Church of England kept its already existing structure, with bishops, clergy, church buildings, and congregations being placed under the archbishop of Canterbury. The Church of England retained its traditional doctrine, liturgy, and organization. Not until Edward VII, Elizabeth I, and Oliver Cromwell did greater changes come in. The Church of England turned from Protestant under Edward to Catholic under Mary. Elizabeth adopted a middle ground, seeking to blend both Catholic and Protestant elements. The Protestant character can be seen in the rejection of the concept of Purgatory, the discontinuation of the use of indulgences and relics, and the use of English rather than Latin for worship. Elizabeth retained the traditional episcopal structure even though it was controversial. Many English Puritans also objected to ordained priests. Anglican doctrine on the church shifted from an emphasis on the bishop to the Calvinist emphasis on the congregation. The Book of Common Prayer affirms that the Church exists where the Word of God is preached, the sacraments are duly administered, and the faithful are gathered.

However, if one looks at marriage today, one finds a horrendous divorce rate among not only Catholics but across the religious spectrum. Marriage itself is a threat to its own existence and is not affected at all by the movement to legalize same-sex marriage. How does allowing more people to wed endanger a failing institution? Should not the church be searching for ways to encourage two people to promise themselves to each other for life, and then to remain together? Should not the church be addressing massive adultery that takes place in these marriages? Or is the Vatican afraid that if same-sex unions become legal and acceptable, that a good percentage of its clergy would be partnered?

In the latter part of the 19th century, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (daughter of a high-ranking officer in the Russian army and nobleman) emerged from an extended seclusion in the Himalayan monasteries to declare a new message, yet in a real sense also an ancient message, of Creation and Human Evolution. We are all, brothers and sisters within the One unifying principle and Force which we call God, the Creator the One origin of all existence. We all evolve through a long series of material manifestations into beings of indescribable spiritual beauty and wisdom, guided by God's Law of Karma and the Dharma (the goals of our lives) by which he guides our progress.

OSJ Mission Statement "Old St. Joseph's, the first Catholic parish in Philadelphia, seeks to live out the gospel message of Jesus Christ. The parish community is devoted to a ministry of love and service, which fosters contemplation in action in the spirit of St. Ignatius Loyola. Through our liturgical, sacramental and social ministries we hope to foster an apostolic community. We are dedicated to cultivating an atmosphere of compassion, mutual respect and dialogue. We seek to reconcile to the Church those marginalized or alienated for whatever reason. We work for justice by direct ministry with the poor. We strive to enter into a deeper solidarity with humanity, approaching the world with joy, courage and knowledge that the Holy Spirit is already at work." We are the oldest Catholic Church in Philadelphia. Under the protection of William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges, the first celebration of the Catholic Mass took place on this site in 1733, the only place in the 13 colonies where such public rites were allowed at that time. Jesuits at Old St. Joseph's planted the first seeds of Catholicism in an important urban center, and evangelized southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and New York for the American Catholic Church. Here was shaped a new model of religious pluralism that would become a hallmark of American democracy.

Church of St. Francis, The Liberal Catholic Church Discrimination Desirelessness Good Conduct Love RELIGION FOR TODAY IN THE LIBERAL CATHOLIC CHURCH WHY RELIGION TODAY Religion is a means to an end. As such, it may be seen to have a dual purpose. Philosophy of Life FIRST, it should provide a workable and progressively uplifting philosophy of life. The word “philosophy” means love of wisdom. Wisdom may be considered to be the sum total of the experiences and knowledge gained during all of man’s past lives. Knowledge alone is the function of the lower mind. Wisdom reaches far above the lower mind. It involves the whole human being, including that understanding often attributed to man’s “heart-qualities.” Wisdom gives man that true perspective with which to discover the real purpose of life. It makes possible prudent, dispassionate, perfect judgment. Religion, then, must have a place in daily life, building the honest, unselfish, tolerant human being and producing in him the preference for spiritual values over material excesses. While thus raising his awareness to see divine life in all of God’s creation and creatures, it yet aids him to attach proper values to everything in existence in the universe. Seen in this light, material means have their place and are necessary; but their utilization rather than their acquisition deserves primary attention. An obvious expression of such a philosophy of life is found in man’s affinity for all Nature, a sign of a mature love and heartfelt respect for God’s creation. In the effort to understand even more fully Nature’s ways, man is helped by an eager intellect that directs his studies and interests toward the divine. Truth, being what it is to each person, enlightens him in-creasingly as his intuitive faculties unfold. Eventually he will know God “first hand.”

Religion Baha'i Faith Biblical studies Christianity General ... Zoroastrianism I was reared Catholic, which was probably inevitable since my mother was French and my father was Irish-American. I still attend church services regularly. This sometimes surprises folks who know me principally for my salty language (especially while I'm debugging a program!) or my deep interest in science , especially astronomy I have never felt there was any conflict between science and religion. Each addresses different types of questions. I see them as complementary. Perhaps I adopted this viewpoint because I knew so many scholarly clergymen as a youngster, or perhaps I was influenced by meeting top-flight scientists who were devout Catholics, such as nobel laureate Sir John Eccles. Besides, contrary to what many folks seem to believe, we Irish Catholics in the States are quite liberal-minded about Catholicism. We're good at poking fun at the Church, at the clergy, and at ourselves. I believe Christians should consider very seriously Saint Augustine on Science and Scripture . His warning from 1,600 years ago speaks directly to modern pseudo-conflicts between science and religion such as that of Creationism.

home about Catholic.net Ask an Expert Daily Meditations ... Lifelong Faith Development RECONCILING OLD LOVERS: JOHN PAUL ON SCIENCE AND FAITH Michael Sherwin OP In the introduction of his work De revolutionibus, Nicholas Copernicus sings the praises of astronomy, and during his encomium he has this to say: . . . when a person is occupied with things that he sees established in the finest order and directed by divine management, will not the unremitting contemplation of them and a certain familiarity with them stimulate him to the best and to admiration for the Maker of everything, in whom are all happiness and every good? For would not the pious psalmist [92:4] in vain declare that he was made glad through the work of the Lord and rejoiced in the works of His hands, if we were not drawn to the contemplation of the highest good by this means?1 The eminent historian, Georges Minois, speaks for many when he argues that the condemnation of Galileo, "consecrated" a "great divorce" between science and the Church.2 If we grant that the nuptial analogy is apt, then truly we can say that John Paul's work is an attempt to reconcile old lovers. John Paul firmly proclaims the Catholic insight that if science and faith could live together harmoniously in the hearts of Copernicus and Galileo, then, in principle, they should be able to do so in the hearts of all scientists; and thus, there is no need for any divorce between science and faith. The God of creation is the God of revelation and redemption. John Paul's project, therefore, has been something akin to marriage counseling.
