 | | The doctrine of apostolic succession is one of the keystones of the Catholic faith; it holds that the pope (the vicar of Christ) and the bishops have in varying degrees the spiritual authority Jesus assigned to his apostles. | | | “Roman Catholic” is a 19th-century British coinage and merely serves to distinguish that church from other churches that are “Catholic” (see catholic church). | | | This pattern of decline of religion followed by reform is characteristic of the history of the Roman Catholic Church; the reform goals have varied, but they have included the revival of spiritual life in society and the monasteries, and the elimination of politics from the bishops&; sphere and venality from the papal court. |

| | The CHURCH IN THE U.S. The CHURCH IN CANADA | | | Until the break with the Eastern church in 1054 and the break with the Protestant churches in the 16th century, it is impossible to separate the history of the Roman Catholic church from the history of Christianity in general. | | | Although the Roman Catholic church holds certain doctrines that distinguish it from other Christian churches, it is most characteristic in the breadth and comprehensiveness of its doctrinal tradition. |

| | Old Roman Catholic Church History |
| | 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. | | | Many of these Catholics formed independent communities that came to be known as Old Catholic because they sought to adhere to the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church of the post-apostolic era. | | | Introduction: While the ACCA is not jurisdictionally connected with the Old Roman Catholic Church, both share apostolic sucession from the Old Catholic See of Utrecht, and the ACCA regards her with sisterly affection and her clergy as fellow-laborers in the vineyard of the Lord. |

| | A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ROMAN (CATHOLIC) CHURCH |
| | The Roman Catholic Church is hard pressed to trace it's ancestry beyond A.D. Until that time the Church (the Way) was an independant collection of local churches working together whenever possible, but not dominated by a central authority. | | | The history of the Roman Church begins after Emperor Diocletian's unsuccessful attack on the Christian Church (The Way). | | | Thus the church began to shroud itself in "mystery" and ritualism that had strong resemblance to Babylonian mysticism. |

| | A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE: A HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AS IT COOPERATED WITH HITLER IN CROATIA |
| | The Church of Rome has a policy regarding freedom of religion: when they are in the minority, they want freedom from persecution; when in the majority, freedom to persecute. | | | Mussolini, and all the priests and Catholics that assisted them {Note: Pavelic, Hitler, and Mussolini were all Catholics}, were never excommunicated, or even severely censured for their actions. | | | Do not be deceived: the Roman Catholic Church, and its Pope, is the False Church of Revelation 13, so we encourage you to read it well, and prepare for the soon appearance of Antichrist. |
