WE Are an inclusive and affirming Catholic faith community of the Old Catholic Church.
We welcome and encourage the inclusion of women into the priesthood, the marriage of priests and marriage/Holy Unions of all loving
couples, heterosexual and homosexual one of God's gifts.
We are a faith community of healing for all those who have been hurt by churches actions of discrimination and selectivity but still yearn for
Catholic spirituality and liturgy
We endorse the allowing divorced persons to remarry in the church as allowed in the early church and for remarried persons to receive the
Eucharist.
We view the Pope as the Bishop of Rome, first among equals with all the Patriarchs. We are not under the authority of the Vatican but a
reformed, progressive, inclusive, affirming Catholic Community who consider ourselves as Catholics in exile. Our orders are considered valid
by the church of Rome because of our direct succession from the apostles through the Duarte Costa Line but because we disagree with
Papal infallibility and the aforementioned woman and married priests Rome considers us illicit.
We live our vows as partnered/married or single persons, male and female, under the rule of life established by St. Francis. The vow of
Chastity is not a requirement but is encouraged for single persons.
We identify strongly with Jesus’ call to Saint Francis to “go, rebuild My Church”. We understand this as a call to affirm and proclaim the
Divine Mercy and Infinite Love of God for all people regardless of their race, nationality, sexual orientation or marital situation.
Members of the Order serve as Lay Apostles, vowed Brothers, Sisters,Deacons and Priests.
Franciscans of the Divine Mercy and Love of God dedicate themselves to live out the call to St. Francis “go rebuild My Church” as a call to
each one of us to encourage unity within the Mystical Body of Christ, The Church, and to gather all who accept Christ as their redeemer and
Savior together as is their rite by their Baptism.
