Ecumenical Catholic Communion

Our Communion unites authentic Catholic faith communities that stretch across the United States. We are a community of communities which are ecumenical and catholic in that we celebrate a characteristically Catholic faith tradition that is not sectarian.

We share a common theology and liturgical tradition with the Catholic Church. Our deacons, priests and bishops participate in the same historic apostolic succession as do the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and other apostolic Churches. We share the same historical developments as Western Christianity, and are rooted in the Old Catholic Church, which formed in response to the declaration of papal infallibility.
