  • Old Catholics - They aren't in communion with the Catholic Church, but they do have valid sacraments. It's an interesting case, and this video discusses them, both the Union of Utrecht and the Union of Scranton.

      There are differences in style and churchmanship. Old Catholicism is a High Church movement. It is more like a liberal version of Eastern Orthodoxy. Anglicans, on the other hand, can be low in their churchmanship, and more evangelical.
      I used to go to an Old Catholic congregation, but it didn't last but a couple of years. In practice, some of these types of churches are more Roman in their theology, it just depends where the clergy came from (many are divorced and/or gay ex-Roman Catholics, and some are women). The particular one I went to was more Roman in its theology, and I was more Orthodox, so it didn't work out perfectly. I was especially shocked by the relative irreverence people had towards the Blessed Sacrament (sadly in keeping with alot of wider Catholic attitudes in the US). But, there were folks with good hearts there, some struggling with serious problems and looking for a loving community. The bishop, who was also the pastor, had some very memorable sermons.
      I eventually found myself in a Lutheran (ELCA) church and that was a decent compromise. Especially because the pastor had a father that was Eastern Orthodox. He even gave me an icon, and I gave him a prayer rope.

    The basis for the split was way before the 1700s and was closely intertwined with Dutch politics, and can be traced back to the work of theologian Cornelius Jansen. The main differences to mainstream Catholicism are the teaching of total depravity, irresistible divine grace, and predestination, which is why the Jansenists were being accused of being crypto-Calvinists. It was only 80 years after Jansen's death that the Catholic Church in Utrecht consecrated a bishop without permission from Rome, and this was after decades of Jansenism being actively supported by the Dutch Republic.
    The Dutch Republic sought to cut loose its Catholic population from papal influence and at the same time the fact that some of the Jansenist theology is closer to Calvinism made them more sympathetic towards it. They didn't gain any real traction though, the vast majority of Roman Catholics in the Netherlands preferred celebrating Mass in clandestine churches and staying in full communion with Rome and were given equal rights to Protestants in 1848.

    Old Catholics are very strange. Some of them now identify with Gnosticism and have gone completly off the rails, some of them are just old fashioned Catholics. Many believe in white and black magic and practice it. They also like to constantly re-ordained people, it's almost a hobby to see how many different times you can be ordained. The spectrum of followers of Old Catholicism are either very very far left or very very far right people, there is seemingly no inbetween, and they all hate each other. Some more conservative old catholics also identify with the heresy called Jansenism, which is a sort of Catholicisiced Calvinism.
    The beliefs have gone completly out of whack since the first generation of Old Catholics and honestly the name just pays lip service. They are all over the place theologically.

      “The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.’ . . . On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. So too, all [the apostles] are shepherds, and the flock is shown to be one, fed by all the apostles in single-minded accord. If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he [should] desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?”- St. Cyprian of Carthage (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251]).

      It’s misleading to say that we left the church: our roots lie in an attempt to understand how to be Catholic in a changing world, and that forced us in a different direction from the RCC who, in the 18th and 19th centuries when we emerged, was considerably more viciously authoritarian than she is now.
      For what it’s worth, we retain genuine affection for her, and we continue to honour the bishop of Rome and recognise his primacy in the western church. It would be wonderful if, instead of looking for issues to get hung up on (and let’s face it, they are, tediously, always the same things) we looked to ways we could build one another up and support each other’s mission in the world.

    Pope Pelagius II, Quod ad dilectionem, 585:

    Pope Gregory 16th, 1831 - 1846 : let nothing of the truths, that have been defined be lessened, nothing altered, nothing added, but let them be preserved intact in word and meaning !!
    Vatican Council of 1870 session 3 chapter 4, part 13 and 14 EX Cathedra -- for the doctrine of the Faith which God has revealed, is put forward not as some philosophical Discovery capable of being perfected by human intelligence, but as a Divine Deposit committed to the Spouse of Christ to be Faithfully protected and infallibly promulgated, hence to that meaning of the sacred dogmas is ever to be maintained which has once been declared by Holy Mother Church, and there must never be any abandonment of this sense under the pretext, or in the name of a more profound understanding.

    Pope Leo 13th, 1896 the practice of the church has always been the same as is shown by the unanimous teaching of the Fathers who were want to hold as outside Catholic communion and alien to the church whoever would recede in the least degree from any point of Doctrine proposed by her authoritative magisterium.
    Council Florence session 11 February 4th, 1442; Ex Cathedra; the Holy Roman Church condemns reproves anathematize has and declares to be outside the body of church which is the Catholic Church whoever holds opposing or contrary views.
    Pope Saint Leo the Great, Doctor of the Church, 440- 461 A.D. - the faith shall never vary in any age for one is the faith which justifies the just of all ages it is unlawful to differ even by a single word from Apostolic Doctrine.
    Pope Leo 10th, 5th lateran Council, session 8th, 1513 Ex Cathedra, and since truth cannot contradict the truth, we Define that every statement contrary to the enlightened truth of the Faith is totally false and we strictly forbid teaching otherwise to be permitted, we decree that all those who cling to erroneous statements of this time, thus sowing heresies which are wholly condemned should be avoided in every way and punished as detestable and odious Heretics and infidels who are undermining the Catholic Faith.
    Saint Athanasius,died 373 AD. God's word is one and the same in the doors forever unchanged always the same.
    Pope Pius 9th, Qui Pluribus I'm, faith and religion November 9th 1846 paragraph 20, Never Cease to instruct all men in it, never tolerating and letting pass anyting which could in the slightest degree defiled the purity of this Faith !!! With the same great strength of Mind Foster and all men their Unity with the Catholic Church outside of which there is no salvation.
    Pope Saints Sixtus, 3,432 A.D. Nothing new is to be allowed for nothing can be added to the old look for the faith of the elders and do not let our faith be disturbed by a mixture of new doctrines.
    St Vincent of Lerins, 445 A.D., all novelty in Faith is a sure Mark of heresy. Saint Paul Cried Out aloud again and again to all men to all times and to all places that if anyone announces a new doctrine let him be anathematized excommunicated.
    Ecclesiastics 18:5 - Nothing maybe taken away or added.
    Pope Pius X, 1903-1914 A.D., Oath against Modernism - And so I retain most firmly the faith of the Fathers and shall retain it until the final Breath of Life !! Regarding the certain Gifts of Truth, which is, was and will, always be, in the succession of the episcopacy, from the Apostles, But not so that what may seem better and more fitting according to each one's period of culture, may be held, but so that the absolute and immutable truth preached by the apostles from the beginning may never be believed otherwise, may never be understood otherwise !!!
    Galatians 1:8 - but though we are an angel from heaven preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you let him be anathema excommunicated from the church
    Proverbs 30:6, add nothing to his words lest you be reproved and found a liar.
    St Thomas Aquinas, Doctor of the church died 1274 A.D - Our faith is identical with that of the ancients. Deny this and you dissolve the unity of the church !! we must hold this for certain that the Faith of the people at the present day is one with the Faith of the people of past centuries !!! were this not true then we would be in a different Church then they and literally the church would not be one !!!
    Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Doctor of the church died 444, A.D. - for it is not allowable for anyone to change even one word, nor allow one syllable to be passed over mindful of the saying : past not beyond the ancient bounds which thy fathers have set !!!
    Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9)June 29,1896: Can it be lawful for anyone to reject any one of those truths without by that very fact falling into heresy ?!! without separating himself from the Catholic Church ? Without repudiating in one sweeping act the whole of Christian teaching ? For such is the nature of Faith that nothing can be more absurd than to accept some things and reject others !!! But he who dessents even in one point from divinely revealed truth absolutely rejects all the faith, since he thereby refuses the honor God as the Supreme truth and the formal motive of Faith.
    Pope Leo XIII,Satis Cognitum # 9, June 29,1896: the Catholic Church found it on these principles and mindful of her office has done nothing with greater Zeal and Endeavor then she has displayed in guarding the Integrity of the Catholic faith hence she regarded as Rebels and expelled from the ranks of her children all who held beliefs on any point of Doctrine different from her own.
    Pope Palagius II, 578-590,A.D. consider the fact that whoever has not been in the peace and unity of the traditional catholic church cannot have the Lord although given over to flames and fires they burn or thrown to wild beasts they lay down their lives they will not be for them that crown of faith but the punishment of faithlessness such a one can be slain he cannot be crowned if slaying outside the church he cannot attain the reward of eternal life in Paradise.
    If there is a change YOU ARE NOT TO SUPPORT IT OR embrace it IN ANY WAY !!!
    There is no confusion unless you're a heretic and belong to the vatican 2 fake church, there is no confusion for true Catholics.The teachings of the church are simple and clear. Nothing is to be changed !!!!! Nothing !!! If you disagree with this your excommunicated from the church you no longer are Catholic you no longer have a Father in Heaven or a Mother !!!!
    For Teachings on a Traditional Catholic Church see “the Most Holy Family Monastery” on their website by the diamond Brothers.
    She also “God's Catholic dogma” on the website.
    These are the only two places in the entire world you can go to for traditional Catholic teachings.
    Warning ⚠️ do not ask the opinion of any “Vatican 2 priests” they hate with a passion these two websites, they are sworn enemies. Because the Most Holy Family Monastery and God's Catholic dogma websites expose the Vatican II church for all its evils. Do your own research.

    *R Catholicism has nothing to do with God and His Words. R Catholic Church contradicts Scriptures in every possible ways!*
    1. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But BIBLE says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10.
    2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39.
    3. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet BIBLE says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47.
    4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to GOD only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10.
    5. Catholics say drink of the physical blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26.
    6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet BIBLE says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19.
    7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. BIBLE says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5.
    8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians.
    9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet BIBLE says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18.
    10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”.
    11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10.
    12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10.
    13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6.
    14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it.
    15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same GOD. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.

      Aquinas did not subscribe to the Immaculate Conception for instance but that didn't make him a heretic. He's a Saint and a Doctor of the Church in fact.

      Or if a person says that Chist is only human and not divine, then that person is a heretic and a heretic no matter if he calls himself a Catholic because the nature of Christ is a doctrine long ago settled within the Church.He has separated himself from the Church.
      In fact, some churches such the Oriental Orthodox churches or the Church of the East separated from the Universal church over that question. They were, in the eyes of the Roman catholic church and Eastern Orthodox church, the first Protestant churches.
      BUT, if there is a doctrine that is not officially declared - for instance, that of Mary and the title of co-redemptrix - there can be a range of opinions about it and there is no heresy involved.

And of course same sex unions aren't considered valid by the Catholic Church either as marriage is defined and is unchangeable as being between a man and woman in relation to the Sacrament representing our Lord Jesus as the Bridegroom and His Church His Bride.

However he eventually came back to Vegas, although it was after he had left his parish in Northern California to join the Polish National Catholic Church. Father Adam was really popular with the parishioners at Holy Family Catholic Church where he was previously assigned to and a lot of them followed him to his new schismatic parish. The Bishop of Santa Rosa issued a statement to the Diocese of Las Vegas when he found out about this and it was in the bulletins at my parish for a couple of months.

Not the fake Lutheranism that has gone woke and or theologically and politically progressive, but the real evangelical catholicism of the Book of Concord. Thank you for this video. Well done.

    Protestantism is heresy
    1. They don't believe in the true presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist
    2. They don't believe that Mary was the mother of God
    3 .They believe in a false bible ( 7 books short )
    4.They believe in the myth of Sola Scriptura
    5. They believe in mandatory tithe when tithing went out with the new testament
    5 they just clueless

    The Orthodox Church has pretty much the same exact Doctrines and Sacraments as the Catholic Church. As a Catholic, I see the Orthodox as more separated by a Political issue.
    Jesus created One Church, and in 107AD, one of his Bishops, St. Ignatius of Antioch, wrote a letter calling it "Catholic" or Universal. Protestant Churches on the other hand, are all Man made, with False, man made doctrines such as "Bible Alone", "Faith Alone", and "Once Saved Always Saved". The Orthodox Church did not create the Bible. There was No Bible prior to the late 4th Century when Pope Damasus I and the other Bishops of the Church held the Council of Rome in 382AD and Authoritatively decided the 27 book canon of the New Testament out of over 200 books that were being read and debated, as the Catholic Church always has done when there was a disagreement or controversy. It Authoritatively held a Council to make a decision. After the 27 book NT was created, it was placed with the 46 books of the OT and then we had a Bible. Who then painstakingly copied the Bible for over 1000 more years, by hand, sometimes taking up to 3 years for each one? Well it wasn't Orthodox or Protestant Monks. It was Catholic Monks who did so until 1455 when the printing press came along. What was the first book printed by Gutenberg ? That's right, the 73 book Catholic Bible, not the 66 book King James Bible.
    Sounds to me like "Old Catholics" are just another Protestant denomination, and makes up its own doctrines, like the insanity of Same Sex marriage and the other nonsense you listed.

    The Roman Catholic Church was indeed the first Christian church. But, over the centuries, it has gotten wealthy and powerful and with wealth and power comes corruption of all kinds. This is why Luther and others left the church. If anyone should claim the mantle of Christ's real church, it i the Old Catholics.

    According to Catholic Answers website:
    "Even though the sacraments of these churches are valid (when performed by a validly ordained priest), they are still illicit, and therefore Catholics should avoid them outside a danger-of-death situation."

      46The Master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

    Sensibility at last. Conversion, not convergence. Jesus said to Nichodemus, “You must be born again to even see the Kingdom of Heaven. That is why Catholics do not understand the Gospel. It took Martin Luther to tell them but they still do not get it. It is not about being infused with a substance called grace but about Receiving Christ’s grace into your whole being and the forgiveness of sins and receiving the Holy Spirit as a seal. At least that is what the Bible says, not the Pope.
