What are Ecumenical Catholic Churches?
We are independent Catholic faith communities in that we are not under the jurisdiction of the Pope nor are we subject to the canon law or the guidelines of the Roman Catholic Church. We share common roots of the same Bishop, The Most Reverend Peter E. Hickman, also the Pastor of Saint Matthew Ecumenical Catholic Church, located in the city of Orange, CA. Though we also share a common Catholic theology and liturgical tradition, we differ significantly in many of the disciplines and rules that govern the Roman Catholic Church. Take a look at the Distinctives for specific details.
