Old CatholicOne of various breakaway groups from Roman Catholicism, including those in the Netherlands (such as the Church of Utrecht, which separated from Rome in 1724 after accusations of Jansenism); and groups in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, and Switzerland, which rejected the proclamation of papal infallibility of 1870. Old Catholic clergy are not celibate. The Old Catholic Church entered full communion with the Church of England 1931. Anglican and Old Catholic bishops have joined in the consecration of new bishops so that their consecration can be traced back to the time of an undivided church. |
