Liberal Catholic Church

I was both surprised and happy that there is a Liberal Catholic Church. This is actually my first time to know that this church exists because I was thinking that there were only the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church during my time as a former seminarian. Now, the Catholics have the option to question their traditional beliefs and yet not leave their church and that they are free to accept the alternative views and teachings based on Theosophical ideas whose WISDOM is rooted in the ANCIENT AGELESS WISDOM.



The Liberal Catholic Church (LCC) is a form of Christianity open to theosophical ideas and even reincarnation. It is not connected to the Roman Catholic Church. The title also is applied to various separate and independent denominations throughout the world holding many theosophical ideas in common.

The Liberal Catholic Church believes that there is a body of doctrine and mystical experience common to all the great religions of the world and which cannot be claimed as the exclusive possession of any. Moving within the orbit of Christianity and regarding itself as a distinctive Christian church it nevertheless holds that the other great religions of the world are also divinely inspired and that all proceed from a common source, though religions may stress different aspects of the various teachings and some aspects may even temporarily be ignored. These teachings, as facts in nature, rest on their own intrinsic merit. They form that true catholic faith which is catholic because it is the statement of universal principles. The LCC bases these beliefs on what St. Augustine said: "The identical thing that we now call the Christian religion existed among the ancients and has not been lacking from the beginnings of the human race until the coming of Christ in the flesh, from which moment on the true religion, which already existed, began to be called Christian." (Retract I. XIII,3). The same principle is involved in the declaration of St. Vincent of Lerins: "That let us hold which everywhere, always and by all has been believed: for this is truly and rightly catholic." .


Liberal Catholic Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



The Liberal Catholic Church exists to forward the work of her Master, Christ, in the world and to feed His flock. It draws the central inspiration of its work from an intense faith in the living Christ, believing that the vitality of a church gains in proportion as its members cease to think only of a Christ who lived 2000 years ago and strive rather to serve as a vehicle for the eternal Christ who ever lives as a mighty spiritual presence in the world, building and sustaining His people: "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the consummation of the age."

Dili na sila Aglipay bro kay wala may Liberal Catholic Church pa gyud diri sa pinas when I searched the net. It's in Europe and America pa but i don't know in other parts of the world.

Dili sad sila Orthodox catholic because the Liberal Catholic Church had no ties before with the Roman Catholic. I think it originated and grew out from the idea of Esoteric Christianity and Theosophy but the form of worship is CATHOLIC or UNIVERSAL in nature.

For the Filipinos who don’t know, Roman Catholics and Christian Catholics are worlds apart in beliefs, principles, theories. Few Filipinos know the true meaning of catholic. Which is why when I write about the Pope’s church and followers, I write "Roman catholic" meaning the church, and Romanos, meaning the followers. The word catholic is nonsectarian. All non-sectarian Christians are Catholics. When they are catholic (liberal) this means that they are not narrow-minded.


I will define the adjective "catholic" from the dictionaries and thesaurus I have at hand: "Tolerant, universal, general, broad, comprehensive, liberal; liberality of sentiments and views." All Christian catholic churches following the righteous teachings of Jesus Christ fit the adjective catholic. - Dahli Aspillera (Liberal Catholic)
