  • A Sociology of Progressive Religious Groups Why Liberal Religious Groups Cannot Get Together
    A Sociology of Progressive Religious Groups Why Liberal Religious Groups Cannot Get Together A Talk for Sea of Faith Yorkshire, 22 September 2007, Bradford Given by Adrian Worsfold Schisms are normally carried out by traditionalists or conversionists over what is called a "presenting issue". This is not the question here but the inability of liberal groups to get together. Indeed liberals tend not to split off as groups, but they do move out as individuals. When Theophilus Lindsey rejected the 39 Articles of the Church of England and set up the first named Unitarian Church in 1774, he hoped for an exodus of Anglicans to join his new Arian based movement (he followed Samuel Clarke's Arian revision of the Book of Common Prayer). An exodus did not happen. The Arians stayed within the Church of England, and Essex Church as it was called became absorbed into the liberalising Presbyterian movement. Did not these Presbyterians split then, long before? Well, when the Presbyterians broke away from the Church of England they were fiercely Puritan and very trinitarian, with full confidence in the Bible alone to uphold Calvinist doctrine. So this too was an example of an evangelical breakaway. That they became liberal was an unintended consequence of the original Puritan intention, and they were later boosted by ideological liberals (who were also biblical literalists, reading a unitarian doctrine straight off the gospels as, indeed, the New Testament contains no doctrine of the Trinity, only its possibility). So what is this about liberal groups and then not being able to be inclusive of one another? We first need to know what groups we are talking about, what they organise for and how they function.

  • Modern Alternative Popes*
    Modern Alternative Popes* Magnus Lundberg Uppsala University The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) is arguably the most important event in modern Catholicism, and a major act on the twentieth-century religious scene at large. On several points, the conciliar fathers made changes in how the Catholic Church perceived the modern world. The language in the decrees was different from earlier councils’, and the bishops opened up for ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, seeing at least “seeds of truth” in other religious traditions. The conciliar fathers also voted in favour of liberty of religion, as meaning something more than the right to practise Catholic faith. A very concrete effect of the Council was the introduction of the New Mass Order (Novus Ordo Missae) in 1969 that replaced the traditional Roman rite, decreed by Pius V in 1570. Apart from changes in content, under normal circumstances, the new mass should be read in the vernacular, not in Latin as before. Though many Catholics welcomed the reforms of Vatican II, many did not. In the period just after the end of the Council, large numbers of priests and nuns were laicized, few new priest candidates entered the seminaries, and many laypeople did not recognize the church and the liturgy, which they had grown up with. In the post- conciliar era, there developed several traditionalist groups that criticized the reforms and in particular the introduction of the Novus Ordo. Their criticism could be more or less radical, and more or less activist. Many stayed in their parishes and attended mass there, but remained faithful to traditional forms of devotions and paid much attention to modern Marian apparitions.

  • The Inner Side of Church Worship by Father Geoffrey Hodson
    The Inner Side Of Church Worship by Father Geoffrey Hodson FOREWORD by Archbishop Frank W. Pigott CATHOLIC Christians claim that the Church, with its threefold ministry tracing spiritual descent by the laying on of hands from the earliest Apostles of Our Lord, its seven sacraments or means of grace and its elaborate ceremonial, is a Divine Society; that is to say, it is a body corporate which is ensouled by the life of the Lord Himself; or, changing the metaphor without in any way changing the sense, it is an apparatus, a piece of intricate mechanism, by means of which grace or spiritual benediction is brought from on high and distributed far and wide on the Lord's people here in this world 'in the body pent '. It is a high claim to make and, indeed, an unique claim; there does not seem to be any other society or organization in the world which makes quite such a claim as that. Yet the Catholic Church makes that claim unflinchingly and has been making it for something like two thousand years. It is worth while examining the basis of such a claim. What are the grounds on which Catholic Christians for so long a time have dared to claim that their Church is a Divine Society, and still make the claim? Briefly they are three. First, there is tradition. Since the very beginning the belief that the Lord gives Himself to His people in His church by the operation of the Holy Spirit has been held by Catholic Christians and handed on from generation to generation.

However, experience teaches us that just as the Holiday itself 3 THE LIBERAL CATHOLIC comes and passes so rapidly, so the joy and wonder of this time of CHURCH year, too often, passes quickly out of our minds and hearts. The AND message and lessons of this season pass without leaving a trace upon THE CHRISTMAS OF THE SOUL our lives. The Season enters our minds and consciousness on a number of 11 PROVINCIAL NEWS levels: as a cosmic celebration marking the transition of the Sun and the rebirth of Light or as a cultural festival marking the 12 seasonal revolution and the hope of rebirth in both Nature and PARISH NEWS humanity.

  • BAPTISM, CONFIRMATION and NON-CATHOLIC CHURCHES Summer, 2006

It is also a sound practice to ask candidates what words were said at their baptism and confirm that water was used.1 Anyone baptized in the above named churches or communions who wishes to enter into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church needs to make a profession of faith and receive the sacrament of confirmation according to the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA, 400- 504). This occurs after a suitable period of catechesis has taken place. Valid Confirmations The Roman Catholic Church recognizes the sacrament of confirmation in all Eastern rite churches (Orthodox), the Old Catholic Church, the Polish National Catholic Church, and the Society of St. Pius X.

Man is a link in a vast chain of life extending from the highest to the lowest. As he helps those below him, so also he is helped by those who stand above him on the ladder of life, receiving thus a free gift of grace. There is a com- munion of saints, just men made perfect or holy ones, who help mankind. There is a ministry of angels. 6. Man has ethical duties to himself and to others. ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment and the sec- ond is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and Prophets’. (Matt. 22:37-40). It is the duty of man to learn to discern the divine light in himself and others, that light ‘which lighteth every man’ (John 1: 9).

  • Canon Law of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church V8
    Canon Law of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church V8 Canon Law of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church 1. Promulgation 1.1 These Canons were promulgated by Mar Joannes III, the then Metropolitan Primate of the Liberal Catholic Apostolic Church, after consultation and prayer, on the thirtieth day of November in the year two thousand and eight. These canons are subject to revision from time to time. This present version is the eighth version and is promulgated by Mar Trimlett on the 17 th July AD2018. 1.2 These Canons may be referred to as "The Canons of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church". These canons were changed to reflect the name change from Liberal Catholic Apostolic Church to Old Catholic Apostolic Church which was adopted to better reflect our old catholic heritage. 1.3 Where the duties of clergy and other members of the Church are described below, they shall be understood as if the phrase "provided such an action is compliant with all relevant secular laws and regulations in the jurisdiction(s) where it is to be performed" were postpended in each case. It is recognised that in some cases, particularly in respect of marriage laws, the law may vary widely from one jurisdiction to another, and what is legal in one place may not be legal elsewhere. 1.4 No part of these Canons shall be understood, interpreted or relied on as offering guidance or advice on any aspect of secular law whatsoever. All persons affected by these provisions are recommended to seek independent legal advice. 1.5 No part of these Canons shall be understood, interpreted or relied on as replacing or acting contrary to the laws of England and Wales.

  • Theosophically Inspired Movements in Sweden
    606 Petander Chapter 74 Theosophically Inspired Movements in Sweden Einar Petander The Liberal Catholic Church The origins of the Liberal Catholic Church go back to the Old Catholic Church in Utrecht, the Netherlands, a Catholic denomination that has been independ- ent from Rome since 1724. In the early 1910s, priests in England with an interest in Theosophy attempted to create an ecclesiastical community that was open also to Theosophists. At first, they found a congenial environment in one of the branches of the Old Catholic Church in England, but once this was no longer possible, a separate church was created. The birth of the new denomination was marked by the ordination as bishop of the Theosophically-inclined priest James I. Wedgwood (1883–1951) in January 1916. Wedgwood embarked on a journey around the world in order to spread and establish the new church. His first stop was Australia, where he met his friend Charles W. Leadbeater (1847–1934), who belonged to the top echelon of the Theosophical Society (Adyar). Wedgwood and Leadbeater cooperated in com- posing the liturgy of the Church; this liturgy was officially adopted at a synod held in England on 6 September 1918, at which occasion the name of the church was also established. The Church soon established new branches around the world, not least because of the global presence of the Theosophical Society. The Liberal Catholic Church has a declaration of principles and a summary of doctrines, both of which show a Theosophical influence, e.g., the concepts of reincarna- tion and karma. The Church is liberal in the sense that members are not bound by such specific doctrines, but are granted a considerable liberty to interpret the declaration of principles and summary of doctrines, as well as the Bible, the traditions of the Church, the creeds, and the liturgy.
