What is the difference between Roman Catholic and Old Catholic Church?
In 1870 the Vatican I Council declared Papal Infallibility a dogma or something that you must believe. Many Catholics, especially in Northern Europe, disagreed so strongly with that view that they separated from Rome and came under the protection of Archbishop Utrecht, Holland, who had become independent of Rome in 1724. Since then the Old Catholic Movement has spread worldwide encompassing millions of Catholics. So our primary dogmatic difference is Papal Infallibility.
