Hide Profile

The Old Catholic Church evolved from a group of former Roman Catholics who refused, in the late 19th century, to accept the doctrine of the infallibility of the Pope. This offshoot of the Roman Catholic church is notable for its rejection of Papal infallibility and its acceptance of gay clergy and congregants.
