旧天主教会
外观
旧天主教会(英语译名:Old Catholic Church),也称作老天主教会、古天主教会、复古天主教会、旧公教会、老公会等,是一支源流自天主教会的基督教独立宗派,1870年代从天主教会独立而出,导因是不承认1869年至1870年的第一次梵蒂冈大公会议所公布的教宗无谬误信条。该宗派的多数教会位于西欧,主要由使用德语的平信徒及教士组成。
“旧天主教”这项名称最早出现于1853年,用以描述乌特勒支总主教辖下的教会,他们是不与教宗“共融”、即不处在教宗权威之下的公教会,而乌特勒支的旧天主教会总主教也一直具有首席地位。大多数的旧天主教会加入1889年成立的乌特勒支协进会(德语:Utrechter Union der Altkatholischen Kirchen),这是旧天主教会最主要的合作组织;但有部分加入乌特勒支协进会的旧天主教会同时与圣公宗完全共融[1],部分则同时为普世教会协会成员[2]。现今在英国以及北美有使用英语的旧天主教会,他们与乌得勒支协进会并没有“完全共融”。斯洛伐克的旧天主教会是欧洲大陆的旧天主教会的一项示范,他们主动加入乌得勒支协进会。
信仰
[编辑]旧天主教神学认为,圣体圣事是教会的核心。从这一点来说,教会是信众的共同体。所有的人都围绕耶稣基督的牺牲互相的共融,做为主爱的最高表现。因此,庆祝圣体圣事是重现主的战胜罪恶的经历。
