| | Old Catholic Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Thereafter in the Netherlands the Utrecht hierarchy was referred to as the "Old Catholic Church", to distinguish it from the "new" Catholic Church established by the Pope. | | | The Old Catholic Church (in Switzerland Christian Catholic Church) is not so much a religious denomination, as a community, part of whose member churches split from the Roman Catholic church in 1870. | | | The Old Catholic Church shares much doctrine and liturgy with the Roman Catholic Church, however it tends to have a more liberal stance on most issues, including the eligibility of women for religious offices. |

| | FAQ |
| | The Old Catholic Churches separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the late 19th century over the refusal to accept the dogma of Papal Infallibility. | | | Old Catholics, Christian denomination organized in Munich in 1871 by Roman Catholics who protested the dogma, proclaimed the previous year by Vatican Council I, of the personal infallibility of the pope in all ex cathedra pronouncements. | | | No. The name Old Catholic was chosen to signify the desire of the Church to return to the traditions and teachings of the undivided Church prior to the great schism of 1054. |

|
| | The Old Roman Catholic Church is a legitimate part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ, having provable unbroken Succession of Orders from, and teaching the full faith of the undivided Church. | | | Old Roman Catholic missions can and should provide a viable alternative for Catholics who wish to remain in the Faith and at peace with their consciences but for whom this possibility does not otherwise exist. | | | Wherever Catholic faithful feel alienated or impeded from full participation in the life and Sacraments of the parish church [often due to over zealous ultramontanism] the Old Roman Catholic tradition and its missions are not only justified but virtually mandated. |

| | OLD CATHOLIC CHURCH OF CANADA - Burlington,ON |
| | "Old Catholics" are those Catholic Churches that trace their Apostolic Succession back to the original Apostles through the autonomous churches brought together in the Union of Utrecht (1889) after their break from the Roman Catholic Church because of innovations introduced by that Church, such as the false doctrine of Papal Infallibility. | | | The Old Catholic Church of Canada recognises and accepts the decisions of the Ecumenical Councils of the undivided Church of the first thousand years of the Christian Era, and therefore, not the doctrines of Papal Infallibility or the Immaculate Conception. | | | The Liturgy of the Old Catholic Church of Canada is based on the Tridentine Roman Ritual. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Old Catholics |
| | The designation of themselves as Catholics by the Old Catholics is all the stranger as in essential doctrines and worship they hardly differ from a liberal form of Protestantism. | | | However, the prescribed concealment of membership in the Old Catholic body had this much good in it, that many who had long been secretly estranged from the sect were able to return to the Church without attracting attention. | | | At the same time all the Swiss Old Catholic communities organized themselves into a "Christian Catholic National Church" in 1875; in the next hear Dr. Herzog was elected bishop and consecrated by Dr. Reinkens. |
