2. Παλαιοκαθολικές Εκκλησίες

Υπάρχει μια σημαντική διάκριση εδώ: Οι Παλαιοκαθολικές Εκκλησίες (Old Catholic Churches) είναι μέλη του ΠΣΕ.

• Αυτές οι εκκλησίες αποσχίστηκαν από τη Ρωμαιοκαθολική Εκκλησία τον 19ο αιώνα (κυρίως μετά την Α' Σύνοδο του Βατικανού το 1870).
• Παραδείγματα από τον κατάλογο:
• Catholic Diocese of the Old Catholics in Germany.
• Old Catholic Church of Austria.
• Old Catholic Church of Switzerland.
• Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands.
• Polish Catholic Church in Poland.
• Old Catholic Mariavite Church in Poland.

3. Τι ισχύει για τη Ρωμαιοκαθολική Εκκλησία;

Όπως προαναφέρθηκε, η Ρωμαιοκαθολική Εκκλησία (το Βατικανό) δεν είναι μέλος του ΠΣΕ.

• Γιατί: Οι δογματικές και εκκλησιολογικές διαφορές παραμένουν σημαντικές.
• Σχέση: Παρά τη μη ένταξη, το ΠΣΕ και η Ρωμαιοκαθολική Εκκλησία έχουν μια "Μεικτή Ομάδα Εργασίας" (Joint Working Group), μέσω της οποίας ανταλλάσσουν απόψεις, συνεργάζονται σε κοινωνικά και ανθρωπιστικά ζητήματα και διεξάγουν θεολογικούς διαλόγους.

Πώς να τις ξεχωρίζετε στη λίστα σας:

• Όταν δείτε όρους όπως Lutheran, Reformed, Methodist, Baptist, Anglican, United Church, Presbyterian, Moravian, αναφέρεστε σε Προτεσταντικές ομολογίες.
• Όταν δείτε τον όρο Old Catholic, αναφέρεστε σε Παλαιοκαθολικές εκκλησίες.
