Polish National Catholic Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The PNCC was founded in the late 1800s in North America by Polish Roman Catholics resentful of diocesan ownership of their parishes and the dominance of the Roman Catholic Church in North America at that time by German and Irish prelates. The PNCC left the Union over a variety of issues, but the most significant was the elevation of women to the priesthood by other Utrecht Union Churches. Although the PNCC has entered into tentative negotiations with the Orthodox Church in North America, no union has resulted due to the PNCC's refusal to abandon several Western concepts (including the Western Church's view of the Holy Trinity and of the sacraments). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Polish_National_Catholic_Church   (397 words)

PGSA - Polish National Catholic Church The doctrine of the Polish National Catholic Church is founded on the Holy Scripture, Holy Traditions, and four Ecumenical Synods of the undivided Church. Membership in the National Council of Churches, delayed by the long illness of Bishop Hodur, was granted at the Council's General Assembly in St. Louis last December. The outward symbol of the oneness of all churches within the Christian Catholic family which had been demonstrated at Utrecht in 1907, was demonstrated again in 1956 when the Polish National Catholic Church entered into intercommunion with the Anglican Church of England and the Episcopal Church of the U. and Canada. www.pgsa.org /pncc.htm   (2397 words)

Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church - Open Encyclopedia This local church was later persecuted by the absorption of the Orthodox portion of the Ukrainian/Belarusian Churches into the Russian Orthodox Church in 1686, and by the violent repression and dismantling of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in four successive waves (1772, 1795, 1831 and 1865). The foundation of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church was laid by the communion of the Patriarch of Constantinople with the Popes in Rome throughout most of the first millennium (until 1054) and intermittent communion thereafter. The Catholicity of the Ukrainian Church was confirmed by the resistance of the hierarchs of Rus' minora, or Rus' proper (today's Ukraine) to the requests of the Greek Church at Constantinople to break communion with Rome after the Great Schism of 1054. open-encyclopedia.com /Ukrainian_Greek_Catholic_Church   (1446 words)

Los Angeles Lay Catholic Mission October 1999 Freelance Bishops, by Christopher Zehnder The Polish National Catholic Church arose in the late 19th century over disputes American dioceses (particularly Scranton, Pennsylvania) had with Polish immigrants who wanted priests who could speak their language, and disagreed over how parishes were to be administered. Nowland, a former Roman Catholic, said his church does not "differ all that much from the Roman Church," accept, of course, in the areas of papal infallibility, the indissolubility of marriage, the teaching on artificial contraception, and the ordination of women. Though Delvaux says his church is "a bit boring, because we are not all that different -- we are not out there ordaining women, we wouldn't have a ceremony for same-gender relationships" -- yet this tedium does not extend to other independent catholic churches. www.losangelesmission.com /ed/articles/1999/1099cz.htm   (1910 words)

THE NORDIC CATHOLIC CHURCH The dialogue between the Polish National Catholic Church is already well advanced and has born fruit in a eucharistic reciprocity which Rome has seldom accorded to other ecclesial bodies. The foolish prosecution of a faithful priest by the Church authorities (a case which became, for a time, the cause celebre of the Oslo newspapers), and the insensitive suppression of the most lively and innovative parish in the Oslo diocese by its retiring bishop, had brought things to a head. The establishment of the Nordic Catholic Church has freed its members to have a positive, rather than a negative agenda; to enter upon a period of Church growth and doctrinal consolidation. ourworld.cs.com /francisgardom/OC00NORD.htm   (1355 words)
