In searching the WEB for Catholic information, I stumble[d] upon your site.   Why does your church profess to be  [the] "Old Roman Catholic Church" when you owe no allegiance to the Pope?

That's like saying I am American, but I owe no allegiance to the U.S.

As a true and proud Roman Catholic, I believe your church seriously errs in choosing this name and you should consider naming it something else.

I find it highly offensive when someone other than a true and devout Catholic would dare to call himself one.

I once drifted from my church, but now I have made my peace with it, and have fully re-engaged in all its beliefs and practices.

There is but one true Catholic, and that is the one that sticks to the teachings of our Holy Pope and Rome, no matter what the consequences may bring.
