Ecclesia Apostolica Jesu Christi

 

Primatial jurisdiction and sacramental ministry extends only within the confines of the British Isles, save for those honorary priests appointed on behalf of the Sacerdotal Society of the Precious Blood whose unique mission is global. Many enquiries are received from laity seeking ordination and bishops requesting consecration sub conditione in lands far beyond Great Britain. Ecclesia Apostolica Jesu Christi does not receive men into sacred orders who are not resident in its jurisdiction, nor does it engage in re-ordaining and/or consecrating sub conditione those in other jurisdictions. Its Rite is entirely Catholic, yet independent of the Roman Catholic Church from where its Apostolic Succession, via the Old Catholic Church, originates. The Foundation Head and Supreme Pastor of Ecclesia Apostolica Jesu Christi is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. We know what God has revealed by the teaching and authority of His Holy Church which was given divine authority by Our Lord Jesus Christ. The chief matters that God has revealed are contained in the statement of the Christian Faith known as the Apostles Creed:

 

 

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
