Liberal and Catholic

 

While many independent Catholic churches (those churches, not in communion with Rome or the Eastern Orthodox, who nevertheless have valid Apostolic Succession), are traditionalist and often even stricter than the traditional churches, we are consciously and proudly liberal.   That means that we don’t force our doctrine or views on anyone, and we compel no particular dogmas:  instead, we hope and pray that each person takes their personal journey seriously and decides for themselves what they believe in regard to ultimate truth. 

 

At the same time, we hold up LOVE as the guiding principle and affirm that the sacraments are channels of grace and love which connect us to the deep love and energy of the living Christ
