 | | However, other Churches that trace their historic episcopate to the apostolic succession — such as the Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the churches of the Anglican Communion, and the Old-Catholics (Altkatholische) — consider themselves simply to be different, non-Roman, branches or Communions of the Catholic Church. | | | Their belief that the Church is the vessel and deposit of the fullness of the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles from which the Scriptures were formed. | | | The Alexandrian Church rejected the terms adopted by this Council, and the Christian Churches that follow the tradition of non-acceptance of the Council - they are not Monophysite in doctrine - are referred to as Pre-Chalcedonian or Oriental Orthodox Churches. |

| | History of Independent Catholicism and the IECCA |
| | The only tie between these independent Churches was their participation in Church Councils, which were regional or international meetings of bishops to discuss matters of faith and morals, the most important of which have become known as the Great or Ecumenical Councils. | | | This doctrine asserts that the Bishop of Rome, when speaking as supreme teacher and lawgiver of the Roman Catholic Church on a matter of faith or morals is preserved by the Holy Spirit from the possibility of error. | | | The Church, after the deaths of the Apostles was composed of autocephalous Bishops; that is, independent Bishops, each with his own Church and jurisdiction. |
