Orthodox Catholic Faith.

NEITHER CONTINUING ANGLICANISM NOR FOLLOWING THE MODERN CHURCH OF ROME

ADDITIONS TO THE FAITH BY THE BISHOP OF ROME IN THE ELEVENTH CENTURY CAUSED A DIVISION WITH THE ORTHODOX BELIEVING CHURCHES.

THIS WORLD WIDE CHURCH TEACHES THE FAITH OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BEFORE THAT DIVISION

THIS BRINGS US INTO AN AREA OF FAITH FAITHFULLY OCCUPIED BY THE EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCHES

(Note that ‘orthodox’ means ‘right belief'.)

 The Prayer to Our Lady said publicly after Sunday Mass wherever the Church is found

O Mary, most exalted among God's creatures, who by the power of the Holy Spirit and by thy freely given consent, didst conceive in thy womb the Eternal Son of thy Everlasting Father, we place the Holy Catholic Church (Western Rite) under thy maternal protection.  Mother of God and Ever Virgin Mary, may many come to recognise our Church as a manifestation of the One, True,   Undivided Catholic Church.   May many be bought to the fullness of redemption and new life in Christ through the witness of our Church.  May we be shielded from the attacks of Satan, and, following the example of thine obedience to the Father, may we ever remain true to our

                                                vocation and calling. Amen.

Note: The One True Undivided Catholic Church in our prayer refers to the Church, Eastern and Western, which were as One during the whole of the first millennium. Western Rite refers to the liturgy of the Western Church during that era.
