What does WE INTERPRET TRADITION THROUGH THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH AS A WHOLE MEAN?In 1653 the Jansenist movement was declared a heresy by the Catholic Church. It was because The Catholic Church considered that Jansenism was calvinist in its leading. Jansenism found a home in what was then the Spanish Netherlands ;sirt Denmark and it was the low countries and it was in the low countries that the Roman Catholic church allowed the bishoprics to be decided by the laity. When in the 1700s the Roman Catholic church decided to remove that right from the laity a number of church parishes seceded. And it was about the 1720s that the nascent Old Catholic church and the Jansenists joined forces and largely became one group.
It is from these beginning that The Reformed old Catholic Church arose, now, we are a liberal church that is we accept the ordination of women, We accept the role of tradition in understanding scripture and we ordain :LGBTQI people. Perhaps I should explain that we interpret tradition through the life of the church as a whole and so we see no grounds for preventing anyone from attending, from taking part in the life of the church and from being ordained . We do not accept the ‘clobber passages’ which some groups use to attack those of differing sexual orientations.
We accept the role of tradition in understanding scripture and we ordain :LGBTQI people.
The Reformed Catholic Church is an Independent Catholic Church, not under the authority of the Bishop of Rome. We are similar in our liturgy, sacraments and apostolic succession. We differ in our desire for inclusion of all people regardless of marital status, sexual and/or gender identity, or other human distinctions that lead to exclusion. Our heritage flows from the Catholic Church, which split with the Roman Catholic Church in 1870 over certain doctrines of the First Vatican Council. We profess a more progressive theology, ordain men and women, offer open communion, and are fully affirming and inclusive of the LGBTQ community in the life of the Church, including Holy Orders.I have no idea what ROC is.
Please explain...
Thanks.

I'll inquire on what doctrines of the first Vatican council they rejected.
And we do not care what you think just as you don't care what we think.What do you mean that your heritage flows from the CC and you broke off from the RCC?
First, I hope you know that Roman is a rite.
The CC is called the CC
Second, the CC does not believe in your doctrine,
Not the old CC and not the new CC, the CC of right now.

Externally they appear identical.In 1653 the Jansenist movement was declared a heresy by the Catholic Church.
