Book excerpt: The Old Catholic movement is the best kept secret in Christendom. The fact that there is a valid (if "illicit") form of catholicism that is independent of Rome and which values local control seems scandalous to some and a cause for delight or even relief in others. The Old Catholic churches have branches-both official and unofficial-all over the world. They constitute one of the most interesting and diverse movements in Christian history, a movement worthy of greater visibility and academic attention. Here is the story of this unlikely legacy, from its beginnings in the fourteenth century through 1977-now back in print after twenty-eight years from Apocryphile Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100% Catholic - 0% Roman Catholic The OLD CATHOLIC CHURCH has been around for hundreds of years, but few people today know about it. Larger groups that use the word "Catholic" rarely like to admit its existence, but it does exist. It is completely Catholic, but without the pope, the Inquisition and all the guilt. Archbishop Wynn Wagner introduces you to the beliefs of this small group of Catholics with their modern philosophy that is wrapped inside a very traditional liturgy. Expect to be amazed at the spiritual tools that are available to you today. When someone says you can't marry because you are gay, or that you can't be a Catholic priest because you are married or a female: read this book and find your answer. "Some books that introduce a religion are dry and boring. If that is what you want, don't look in these pages. Archbishop Wynn Wagner brings the Old Catholic Church to life. This is a "Pilgrim's Guide," and the archbishop is the first to let you know that he is just another pilgrim. When he doesn't know the answer, he tells you. He tells you in ways that may leave you chuckling. When he talks about the majesty of our Old Catholic Church, he speaks with the authority of someone who walks-the-walk. The "Pilgrim's Guide" is more than a simple introduction, it is a tour of what can be your spiritual life with a tour guide who lives the subject matter on a daily basis." Archbishop Michael V. Seneco, Presiding Bishop North American Old Catholic Church

This book was released on 2013-09-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What If There Were Another Valid Catholic Church? What If That Other Catholic Church Was More In Line With What You Believe? What if there were a valid Catholic Church that allowed priests to marry, where divorce was not treated like an unforgiveable sin, where birth control and contraception were regarded as a personal decision and a matter of individual conscience, where divorced and remarried individuals were still allowed access to the Sacraments, where EVERY baptized individual were welcomed to receive the Eucharist, a Catholic Church that was "open and affirming," where women were ordained as deacons, priests, and bishops, and where you were welcomed just as you are, regardless of who you are? What if such a Catholic Church existed? Would you be interested? Would you like to know more about it? Most American Catholics Believe That: - Priest should marry - Birth Control is a personal decision - Divorce is NOT an unforgiveable sin - Women should be ordained - They deserve a Catholic Church that believes these things too! Such a Catholic Church Does Indeed Exist! It is The Old Catholic Church! The Old Catholic Church has maintained valid Apostolic Succession, administers valid Sacraments, and is guided by Holy Tradition and Holy Scripture "" a church that is not Protestant or a "break away" church, but is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CATHOLIC in its tradition, practice, and theology? Even The Roman Catholic Church Admits That The Old Catholic Church Is Valid. The Roman Catholic Church agrees that the ministry and Sacraments of The Old Catholic Church are valid. The Old Catholic Church has maintained valid Apostolic Succession and uses Roman liturgy. In fact, The Roman Catholic Church and The Old Catholic Church are nearly identical in much of their tradition, worship, and doctrine. There are only two doctrinal differences that separate them.

This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roman Catholicism in the United States: A Thematic History takes the reader beyond the traditional ways scholars have viewed and recounted the story of the Catholic Church in America. The collection covers unfamiliar topics such as anti-Catholicism, rural Catholicism, Latino Catholics, and issues related to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the U.S. government. The book continues with fascinating discussions on popular culture (film and literature), women religious, and the work of U.S. missionaries in other countries. The final section of the books is devoted to Catholic social teaching, tackling challenging and sometimes controversial subjects such as the relationship between African American Catholics and the Communist Party, Catholics in the civil rights movement, the abortion debate, issues of war and peace, and Vatican II and the American Catholic Church. Roman Catholicism in the United States examines the history of U.S. Catholicism from a variety of perspectives that transcend the familiar account of the immigrant, urban parish, which served as the focus for so many American Catholics during the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries.

How has American Catholicism influenced and been influenced by American culture and society? This book examines the history of American Catholics from the colonial era to the present, with an emphasis on changes and challenges in the contemporary church. Chester Gillis chronicles America Catholics: where they have come from, how they have integrated into American society, and how the church has influenced their lives. He highlights key events and people, examines data on Catholics and their relationship to the church, and considers the church’s positions and actions on politics, education, and gender and sexuality in the context of its history and doctrines. This second edition of Roman Catholicism in America pays particular attention to the tumultuous past twenty years and points toward the future of the religion in the United States. It examines the unprecedented crisis of sexual abuse by priests—the legal, moral, financial, and institutional repercussions of which continue to this day—and the bishops’ role in it. Gillis also discusses the election of Pope Francis and the controversial role Catholic leadership has played in American politics.
