WELCOMING YOU HOME
Return...Renew...Rejoice!
There was a time when faith was not found wanting, but found everywhere...the CCC will take you back to the source of that faith.
As Our Lord said, "Come and see."
ABOUT OUR CHURCH
The Catholic Charismatic Church derives its authority from the Old Catholic "Utrecht" Succession. The emergence of the Utrecht Succession from which the Old Catholic bishops descend commenced with the consecration of Abp. Petrus Johannes Meindaerts of Utrecht on October 17, 1739, following the Jansenist break with Rome that reached its culmination in The Netherlands in 1724.
RECOGNIZED BY THE VATICAN
At the Vatican on June 16, A.D. 2000, Pope John Paul II ratified and ordered the publication of Dominus Iesus. This "Declaration of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith" was signed and published then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, in August of the same year.
In this declaration, the Roman Catholic Church recognized the validity of Orders and Sacraments of Old Catholic denominations in the following terms: "The Churches which, while not existing in perfect communion with the Roman Catholic Church, remain united to her by means of the closest bonds, that is, by apostolic succession and a valid Eucharist, and are true particular Churches."
SERVICES
In conformity with orthodoxy the administrator of the sacrament must have been ordained by a Bishop possessing the valid lines of Apostolic Succession, such as are possessed by The CCC. It has been further stated that Catholics may receive the Eucharist, penance, or annointing from sacred ministers of Catholic denominations whose Holy Orders are considered valid by the Roman Catholic Church. This includes all Eastern Orthodox priests, as well as priests of the Old Catholic or Polish National Church.
