Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... O > Old Catholics A B C D ... Z Old Catholics The sect organised in German-speaking countries to combat the dogma of Papal Infallibility Filled with ideas of ecclesiastical Liberalism and rejecting the Christian spirit of submission to the teachings of the Church, nearly 1400 Germans issued, in September, 1870, a declaration in which they repudiated the dogma of Infallibility "as an innovation contrary to the traditional faith of the Church". They were encouraged by large numbers of scholars, politicians, and statesmen, and were acclaimed by the Liberal press of the whole world. The break with the Church began with this declaration, which was put forth notwithstanding the fact that the majority of the German bishops issued, at Fulda on 30 August, a common pastoral letter in support of the dogma. It was not until 10 April, 1871, that Bishop Hefele of Rotterdam issued a letter concerning the dogma to his clergy. By the end of 1870 all the Austrian and Swiss bishops had done the same. The movement against the dogma was carried on with such energy that the first Old Catholic Congress was able to meet at Munich, 22-24 September, 1871. Before this, however, the Archbishop of Munich had

History The Old Catholics arrival is fairly recent in theUnited States when compared to their involvement in Europe; many first generation Old Catholics in America are still active in their congregations, while the history of the Old Catholics begins in Europe a few centuries ago. Some argue the basic beliefs and motivations of Old Catholicism began in the sixteenth century with Cornelius Jansen and the incidents at Port Royal. Cornelius Jansen (1585-1638) believed that after the time of St. Augustine, the Catholic Church began to decline in practice and beliefs. Abbe de St. Cyran (1581-1641) also agreed with Jansen and claimed only the Port Royal Community in France with their extremely conservative lifestyle were the true devotees of Catholicism. In turn, the community lost the support of friends and Pope Clement XI. On September 8, 1713 the Pope issueda bill called "Unigentius" which contained the misconduct of Jansen's teachings and punishments for following these teachings. Many fled to Protestant Holland where they were received although the Protestants had more serious issues and concerns of their own and they did not fully agree with the credence of Jansen. The common thread they shared that bonded them was their antipathy for the Jesuits. The Old Catholics move to Holland...

He is first mentioned as serving in the expedition to Scotland in 1400, when he was probably quite a young man. Next year he was in charge of Builth castle in Brecon, and serving all through the Welsh campaigns won the friendship and esteem of Henry, the prince of Wales. Oldcastle represented Herefordshire in the parliament of 1404. Four years later he married Joan, the heiress of Cobham, and was thereon summoned to parliament as Lord Cobham in her right. As a trusted supporter of the prince, Oldcastle held a high command in the expedition which the young Oldcastle died a martyr. He was no doubt a man of fine quality, but circumstances made him a traitor, and it is impossible altogether to condemn his execution. His unpopular opinions and early friendship with Henry V. created a traditional scandal which long continued. In the old play The~Famous Victories of Henry V., written before 1588, Oldcastle figures as the prince’s boon companion. When Shakespeare adapted that play in Henry IV., Oldcastle still appeared; but when the play was printed in 1598 Falstaff’s name was substituted, in deference, as it is said, to the then Lord Cobham. Though the fat knight still remains “my old lad of the Castle,” the stage character has nothing to do with the Lollard leader.

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.

Philippine Independent Church religious body that separated from the Roman Catholic Church in 1902 and rejected the spiritual authority of the pope. It is known popularly as the Aglipayan Church, after its founder Gregorio Aglipay. Initially it drew large numbers as a result of nationalist feelings, but later its membership dwindled significantly. Doctrinal disputes and strong factionalism developed. One group allied with American Unitarians and split into various parties. Another, a trinitarian group, moved toward the Episcopal Church, by which their ministers were ordained after 1948 and with which they were formally united in 1961. In 1965 the Philippine Independent Church joined the Old Catholic Union of Utrecht. (See also

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:

St. Bede's Scriptorium Theology Page Theology is comprised of the Greek root-words "theo" (God) + "logos" ("word" or "reason"). Theology, therefore, is the study of God, or, more colloquially "talk about God." Indeed, the Eastern Orthodox Christians would say, talk to God: one of the Eastern saints said that "he is the true theologian who prays truly." This page contains essays and links to a variety of theologically-related topics, involving prayer and contemplative spirituality as well as more "academic" theological studies and, of course, my own Anglican tradition.

GRAVES AC DIUTURNAE (On The Church In Switzerland) Pope Pius IX Encyclical Promulgated on 23 March 1875 To Our Venerable Brothers the Bishops, to the Clergy, and to the Swiss People who enjoy Grace and Communion with the Apostolic See. Venerable Brothers, Greetings and Apostolic Blessing. The serious and long-lasting plots and efforts which the new heretics who call themselves Old Catholics use daily in your country to deceive the faithful and to tear them away from their ancient faith, urge Us, as a duty of Our supreme apostolate, to zealously devote Our paternal care and attention to protecting the spiritual welfare of our children. We are aware, and We sorrowfully deplore the fact, that these schismatics and heretics who enjoy the favor of the civil authority exercise the ministry of their wicked sect in the region of the diocese of Basel as in other regions of your country while the religious freedom of Catholics remains publicly oppressed by schismatic laws. Deceit Characteristic of Schism Condemnation of Errors 3. In order to spread their teachings more widely, We know that some of them have been appointed to teach sacred theology in the University of Bern, hoping to be able in this way to gain new followers from the Catholic youth for their wicked faction. However, We have already reproved and condemned this deplorable sect which has produced from the old store of the heretics so many errors opposed to the principal tenets of the Catholic faith. This sect overthrows the foundations of the Catholic religion, shamelessly rejects the dogmatic definitions of the Ecumenical Vatican Council, and devotes itself to the ruin of souls in so many ways. We have decreed and declared in Our letter of 21 November 1873 that those unfortunate men who belong to, adhere to, and support that sect should be considered as schismatics and separated from communion with the Church.

PAUL THE “PARADIJSKERK" IN ROTTERDAM AND ITS HISTORY A.D. 1647 The "Paradijskerk" The "Paradijskerk",as it is generally known in Rotterdam, is the Old-Catholic parish church of St. Peter and St. Paul. The parish belongs to the archdiocese of Utrecht of the Old-Catholic Church in the Netherlands. The Paradijskerk hosts also the Roman Catholic parish of St. Joseph, which belongs to the Roman Catholic diocese of Rotterdam. A brief history of the paris church In 1572 the Catholics of Rotterdam were expelled from the church of St. Lawrence, the old parish church of Rotterdam. They began to gather in a hidden church and when that became too small, the curate Bernard Hoogewerff founded in 1638 a chapel in his house “Het Paradijs” (Paradise). In 1647 the catholic congregation of this chapel became an independant parish with saints Peter and Paul as patrons. Hoewever the present parish church is still best known as the “Paradijskerk”. Father Hoogewerff endowed the church with many silver altar ornaments, that are still there to be admired. In 1719 a new church was built on the same site - for obvious reasons a hidden church again. On the outside it looked like an ordinary dwelling place, but that was a disguise for a rich church interior. This church was designed by the famous architect Daniël Marot. The Flemish sculptor Alexander Dominicus Pluskens worked in this new church from 1720 to 1725, making the splendid high altar, the communion rail, the pulpit and the organ front. In 1907 this hidden church began to show signs of decay, whereupon the church council decided to build a new, entirely different church, with two towers. The interior, however, was kept intact so all the beautiful carvings and sculpture could be fitted into the new church.

19. Who Are Old Catholics? Who Are old catholics? General Observations. There are a few observationswhich can be made that apply to most all old catholics. http://www.humanfactors.com/church/Whoare1.htm

Holy Spirit Catholic Church of Antioch Catholic and Apostolic Church of Antioch-Malabar Rite 1208 East Burlington, Fairfield, Iowa Who Are Old Catholics? 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. As an entire group, Old (and Independent) Catholic jurisdictions form a diverse spectrum of usage and theological opinion ranging from those who support women's ordination to those who maintain pre Vatican I (and two) teachings and usages, to those who express Byzantine and Orthodox rites. General Observations There are a few observations which can be made that apply to most all Old Catholics. In general, Old Catholics (as well as Independent Catholics) recognize the role played by the Pope as a key role in the world, but not as the sole ruler of the Catholic world. Old Catholics may revere the Pope but are not subject to his rule. They tend to govern themselves by Synods of Bishops rather than concentration of power in a single individual. Old Catholics cherish, maintain and promote the value of the Apostolic Succession, having valid succession recognized by Rome itself.
