NEW CHURCH, NEW THOUGHT, SAME TRADITION
What is Independent Catholicism?
As the Institutional Church rose from the ministry of Jesus and became codified into the Eastern and Western Churches, there have been moments of debate that have led to new directions. In 1054, for example, the Roman Catholic Church caused a schism with the Eastern Church over the insertion, without ecumenical agreement, of a phrase referred to as the Filioque or "and from the son". Roman Catholic leadership changed the creed of the Church by being inserting "who proceeds from the Father and the Son." Since this breach, the Roman Catholic Church has promoted herself as the "one true Church." This despite being the Ecclesial body who changed the orthodoxy. In 1517 theologians and clergy stood against the Roman Catholic Church's abuse of power and greed. This stance led to the Protestant Reformation and the creation of what would become the Lutheran, Anglican, and Presbyterian Churches.
The year 1648 brought about the end of the Thirty Years' War - a war between nations in response to the Roman Catholic Church's desire to control nations with theocratic rule and nations' desires to rule themselves. This war produced what we now call the Great Enlightenment. From this era, secularism in the form of science, secular governance, and academia invited humanity to be led primarily by reason. In 1730, as The United States of American was being born, The Great Awakening brought about the proliferation of Evangelicalism and the solidification of Methodism. As the Roman Catholic Church became aware of their new need to compete in a marketplace of ideas, the First Vatican Council, Vatican I, was convened.
The Roman Catholic Church, as a result of Vatican I, created the doctrine of "Papal Infallibility." Also, Pope Pius IX scribed an apostolic constitution named Ineffabilis Deus. In his constitution, he established the doctrine known as the "Immaculate Conception." While this was a practice of some Christian communities, the Roman Church made it into dogma with no real theological support. These overreaches by the Roman Catholic Church were again met with schism. In 1871, in response to Vatican I, the Old Catholic Church of Utrecht was born.
Breaks from Rome continued to occur in the modern era. The Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church was created in 1945 by Bishop Carlos Duarte Costa. Duarte Costa disagreed with several moves by the Roman Catholic Church, including their closeness with fascist regimes. In June of 1945, Costa broke with the Roman Church, establishing the Igreja Católica Apostólica Brasileira or ICAB.
Vatican II was a further source of consternation among communities of Catholics who split from Rome, claiming that the Papal See was vacant and that the modern "Popes" were no longer the Vicar of Christ. These communities have been quite popular among traditionalist Catholics.
While it may seem like the word "Catholic" is synonymous with Roman Catholic, it is merely a word that means "Universal" or that the subject applies to all of humankind. Likewise, the term "Catholic" refers to a culture of people with catholic ideas - The Mass, the Sacraments, the need for clergy, and apostolic succession. This understanding of Catholicism is at the foundation of the growth of the contemporary Independent Catholic Movement.
Independent Catholic communities exist throughout the world. The Reformed Catholic Church is one such community. The Reformed Catholic Church offers valid apostolic succession (the passing on of the ministry through the laying on of hands through bishops from the time of the Apostles), the seven sacraments, the same offices of the clergy, the same rituals and rites, and many other overlapping prayers and other necessities.
What makes the Reformed Catholic Church distinct is that it's inclusive, affirming, and open to all. This vision of inclusiveness welcomes women, LGBTQ, and married persons to Holy Orders, welcomes LGBTQ couples to the sacrament of Marriage and welcomes all to the Eucharistic table.
The Reformed Catholic Church began its journey toward service in 1997 when several clergy from other Independent Catholic Churches came together to offer a radical vision of an inclusive church rooted in Catholic tradition's essentials. There were many growing pains and winnowing events throughout its early years. Eventually, Bishop Chris Carpenter (a former Roman Catholic Priest) established the Reformed Catholic Church as a non-profit 501 (c)(3) Church in 2016. This milestone resulted from many years of work toward creating Canons of the Church, establishing approved rituals, developing training for aspiring clergy, and further efforts to define the body of the organization. Since the creation of the Church as a non-profit, the Church has grown and thrived.
Catholic, Inclusive, and Affirming
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.
Our Mission
We, the people of the Reformed Catholic Church; Transformed by Jesus Christ through Baptism; Empowered by the Holy Spirit; Nourished by the Eucharist; United in our faith; Liberated by the love of God; Commit ourselves to be God's welcoming heart of mercy, God’s inclusive arms of love, and God's hands of justice and healing to all people who seek God through Jesus Christ.
Rites
The Reformed Catholic Church is a Western Rite Church. With that said, we allow a wide range of masses: The Roman Rite (Novus Ordo/Paul VI), The Roman Missal, The Book of Common Prayer (Episcopal Church), the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom (Eastern Orthodox), and the Book of Divine Worship (Anglican Ordinariate).

Antonio Barberini, 1655. nephew of Urban VIII, was consecrated to the Episcopate under authority of the Bishop of Rome, by Bishops Scanarello, Bottini and Govotti. He was Archbishop of Remes 1657 until his death in 1671, and was made a Cardinal. It is from Bishop Barberini that the Roman Succession from Peter branches off from the Bishops of Rome
BRANCHED FROM ROME
Michel le Tellier was consecrated by Barberini in 1668. He was confessor to King Louie XIV of France, and a Jesuit Provincal.
Jacques Benigne de Boussoit, was consecrated by le Tellier in 1670 as Bishop of Mieux, France
James Coyon de Matignon, was consecrated by de Bousseut in 1693.
Dominique Marie Varlet, Consecrated in 1719 in Paris by Bishop de Matignon, assisted by the Bishop of Qubec and the Bishop of Claremont. He was named Coadjutor to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Babylon who died on November 20, 1717 and Bishop Varlet succeeded to the title. After a period in Persia at Schamake, he was susspended from office for alleged technical irregularities, including the confirmation of 604 candidates in Holland whom he had confirmed at the request of the Church in Amsterdam. The Dutch Church had been without a Bishop for 18 years as a punishment from Rome because the Dutch Church refused to cooperate in the persecution of the "Jansenists" in Holland. Following the election of
Cornelius Van Steenhoven to serve as Archbishop of Utrecht, the Primatial See of Holland, Varlet agreed to perform the Consecration, which he did on October 15, 1724, thus making Van Steenhoven the seventh Archbishop of Utrecht and canonical successor to Saint Willibrord, the British missionary who had brought the faith to Holland. In this consecration was born the Old Catholic Church.
