The Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches (UU) is a federation of Old Catholic churches, nationally organised from 1870 schisms which rejected Roman Catholic doctrines of the First Vatican Council; its member churches are not in communion with the Roman Catholic Church.[6] The 1889 Declaration of Utrecht is one of three founding documents together called the Convention of Utrecht.[6] The {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}} is in full communion with the Anglican Communion through the 1931 Bonn Agreement; and, with the Philippine Independent Church, the Spanish Reformed Episcopal Church, and the Lusitanian Catholic Apostolic Evangelical Church through a 1965 extension of the Bonn Agreement.[7] {{as of|2016|post=,}} the {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}} includes six member churches: the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands (OKKN), the Catholic Diocese of the Old Catholics in Germany, the Christian Catholic Church of Switzerland, the Old Catholic Church of Austria, the Old Catholic Church of the Czech Republic, and the Polish Catholic Church in Poland{{efn|The organization Polish Catholic Church in Poland, a member church of the {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}}, is not to be confused with the Catholic Church in Poland or confused with the Polish National Catholic Church, a former member church of the {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}}.}}.[8]

Theology and practices

The Old Catholic churches reject the Roman Catholic dogma of papal infallibility and reject Roman Catholic ex cathedra dogmas, namely the Immaculate Conception and Assumption of Mary. While Old Catholics affirm the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, they do not emphasize transubstantiation as the sole dogmatic explanation for this presence. Old Catholics generally refrain from using the {{lang|la|filioque}}[9] and {{lang|la|deum de deo}} clauses in the Nicene Creed and also reject a dogmatic understanding of Purgatory; however, they generally do recognize a purification by Christ's grace after death and include prayers for the dead in their liturgy and devotions. They maintain basic Roman Catholic practices such as baptism by affusion (pouring of water) and the use of unleavened bread in the Eucharist. Additionally, they have many aspects in common with the Orthodox and Anglican churches and Eastern-rite Catholicism, such as optional clerical celibacy.

{{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}} member churches tend to maintain a more liberal theological anthropology than the Roman Catholic Church. Thus, many {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}} member churches ordain women to the priesthood. {{Interlanguage link multi|Angela Berlis|de}} was the first woman priest in the union, ordained in 1996 for the Catholic Diocese of the Old Catholics in Germany. In addition, the churches of the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland offer the blessing of same-sex unions. The individual's primacy of conscience in ethical matters is stressed. Private confession is not mandatory, though it is practiced, and decisions regarding the use of artificial contraception are individual and discretionary.

Leadership

Individual {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}} member churches maintain a degree of autonomy, similar to the practice of the Anglican Communion. Each diocese of {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}} member churches has a diocesan bishop, and countries with more than one diocese have a bishop who is appointed as "bishop in charge" or a similar title. The primate ({{lang|la|primus inter pares}} leader) of the {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}} is the Archbishop of Utrecht (not to be confused with the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Utrecht). The current primate, {{as of|2000|since=yes}},[10] is Joris Vercammen, a former Roman Catholic and served on the central committee of the World Council of Churches.[11]

History

The mother church, the {{abbr|OKKN|Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands}}, was established in the 18th century as a result of tensions between the local Catholic hierarchy and the Roman Curia. The other churches, such as the Catholic Diocese of the Old Catholics in Germany, and the Christian Catholic Church of Switzerland, followed suit after the First Vatican Council, which defined the dogma of papal infallibility.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}}

Former member churches

In former Yugoslavia, {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}} had three organized old-catholic episcopal jurisdictions: Old Catholic Church of Croatia (created in 1922-1923, first bishop Marko Kalojera consecrated in 1924 in Utrecht),[12] Old Catholic Church of Slovenia (with bishops Radovan Jošt and Anton Kovačevič), and Old Catholic Church of Serbia (with bishop Milan Dobrovoljac (1954-1966). Three churches formed "Union of Old-Catholic Churches in Yugoslavia" (1954). The Union eventually ceased to exist with break-up of Yugoslavia (1991-1992) and even before that, old-catholic bishopric in Serbia was extinguished, and same happened with bishoprics in Slovenia and Croatia. Finally, remaining old-catholic parishes in Croatia and other parts of former Yugoslavia were placed under jurisdiction of the Old Catholic Church of Austria.[13]

The {{abbr|IBC|International Old Catholic Bishops' Conference}} stated in 1997 that the Polish National Catholic Church (PNCC) was not full communion with other {{abbr|UU|Union of Utrecht of the Old Catholic Churches}} member churches because the {{abbr|PNCC|Polish National Catholic Church}} did not accept the ordination of women.[14][15] Since 1998, the {{abbr|PNCC|Polish National Catholic Church}} did not permit {{abbr|IBC|International Old Catholic Bishops' Conference}} bishops to participate in {{abbr|PNCC|Polish National Catholic Church}} episcopal consecrations.[15] The {{abbr|IBC|International Old Catholic Bishops' Conference}} stated in 2003 that full communion "could not be restored" and "effectively expelled" the {{abbr|PNCC|Polish National Catholic Church}}.[14][15] The {{abbr|PNCC|Polish National Catholic Church}} "refused to repudiate" a 1976 {{abbr|IBC|International Old Catholic Bishops' Conference}} statement opposing the ordination of women and the {{abbr|PNCC|Polish National Catholic Church}} "indicated that any attempt to admit women to the ministerial priesthood would lead to a break in full communion with churches that adopted the practice."[15][16]

The Old Catholic Church of Austria approved the blessing of same-sex unions in 1998 without {{abbr|IBC|International Old Catholic Bishops' Conference}} deliberation; in contrast, the {{abbr|PNCC|Polish National Catholic Church}} disapproved the blessing of same sex unions in 2002 and "described homosexual practice as sinful".[15]

The {{abbr|PNCC|Polish National Catholic Church}} established the Union of Scranton in 2008. No other North American body has been recognized by the IBC.

Former missions

In July 2011, the Old Catholic Church of Switzerland ended its mission to Old Catholic parishes in Italy. "In cooperation with ecumenical partner churches" the parishes were "offered a model that guarantees their continued pastoral care".[17]
