What is the Old Catholic Church?

The term Old Catholic Church has been used since the 1850s by communions separated from the Roman Catholic Church over certain doctrines. Some of these groups, especially in the Netherlands, had already existed long before the term.

These churches are not in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). Member churches of the Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches (UU) are the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands (OKKN), the Catholic Diocese of the Old Catholics in Germany, the Christian Catholic Church of Switzerland, the Old Catholic Church of Austria, and the Old Catholic Church of the Czech Republic which are in full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sweden, the Anglican Communion, the Philippine Independent Church, the Spanish Reformed Episcopal Church, and the Lusitanian Catholic Apostolic Evangelical Church.

The formation of the Old Catholic communion (the Union of Utrecht (UU)) began in 1870, following the First Vatican Council bringing together faithful catholic Christian adherents who accept the first seven ecumenical councils and doctrine formulated before the East–West Schism of 1054. These Catholics currently reject full communion with Rome, as they do not recognize universal papal authority or the Roman Catholic dogma of papal infallibility, nor a number of other Roman Catholic doctrines and practices.
