Difference between Anglican and Old Catholic.

[pilgrimgal]

I am not sure what the last part of the name of this sub-forum means exactly...i.e.>>Anglican/Old Catholic.

Are these one and the same or are we talking about different church traditions or even different churches?

Thanks for sharing any information. Am just beginning to explore and learn more about Anglicanism. :cool:

Also don't know what "Old Catholic" is...:confused:

Not much of a difference, except chiefly in history.

Both churches are in a state of Full Communion with each other.

Rome split from them at Vatican I.
Rome split from us a few years earlier.

Good way to put it GT.

In a nutshell (by no means comprehensive), Old Catholics are Roman Catholics who rejected the concept of Papal Infallibility when it was introduced at Vatican 1.

There is a sticky post that describes the OC's:

Fr. Rick is an OC priest that comes around here and is a good source of info, and a nice guy too.
