History

The apostolic lineage of the Catholic Charismatic Church of Canada, also called the Catholic Charismatic Rite (founded 1960s), began under the mandate of Pope Clement XI, Roman Pontiff and Patriarch of the West, in 1693 when James Goyon de Matignon, Bishop of Condon consecrated Dominique Marie Varlet as Bishop of Ascalon (in partibus) and Coadjutor to the Bishop of Babylon, Persia.

Beliefs

The Catholic Charismatic Church of Canada believes in the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, for these explain the Faith in plain and uncomplicated manners. They believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. They believe the seven sacraments are outward signs instituted by God to give us Grace. They believe the Godhead consists of God the Father who is attributed with the creation. God the Son, co-Creator and Redeemer. God the Holy Spirit, life of the Church. They believe the Church is one holy catholic and apostolic. Christ is the root and the Church is the main stem, and we a branch of the Vine. They maintain that they are the Charismatic Branch or Rite of the Church. They believe the saints are those baptized people who are in perfect harmony with God and who are still living, as well as the dearly departed who have already entered the Kingdom and are in the presence of God. They often pray to God through the saints and often ask the saints to intercede for us to God for they are already in His presence. They believe that the validity of the sacraments is the test through which the administration of a sacrament is judged to be valid. In order for a sacrament to be valid the proper form, intention, and matter is to be used with the proper minister administering this sacrament. The administrator of the sacrament must have been ordained by a bishop possessing the valid lines of apostolic succession. They believe that the purpose of life as we understand it is to know, love and serve God in this world, so as to be happy with him in the next.

Practices

The Catholic Charismatic Church of Canada is more conservative than some other branches of the Old Catholic Church. They do not believe in the ordination of women to ordain women to the offices of deacon, priest or bishop, for this has not "been believed everywhere, always, and by all" (The Declaration of Utrecht of 19th century).
