The Reformed Old Catholic Church

[kiwimac]

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.

1Cor 6:9-11, Gal 5:19-21--Both spots teach-if one practices one of these unacceptable sins--will NOT enter Gods kingdom. Paul mentions spiritism at Gal, the Greek word is Farmacia-thus drug addiction is apart of that meaning. Along with all the false God worship on earth= 99% mislead into not entering Gods kingdom. The reason most likely Jesus compares these last days to Noahs day-Luke 17:26)( 99.9% mislead)
