The Sourcebook is compiled from articles, documents, manuscripts and other information from Old Catholic sources, the results of a 10-year search through more than 12,000 volumes of journals, etc.

The sourcebook is now online but is still undergoing updates and maintenance. Please excuse (or report!) any broken links you may find. We're working to rectify the situation, and hope to have these edits done as soon as possible.

The History of the Old Catholicism is important and should be told. To date, there are many misconceptions and twisted legends that need to be corrected.

We have started with the beginnings of Old Catholicism to the Church in the 21 Century. It is unthinkable to us that some would embrace Old Catholicism without knowledge of the beginnings.

We have many sources for information and you will find links to these sources. When you click on the link it will open in a new window. Please be sure to close that window so that you return to the Old Catholic SourceBook.

Many pages on the Old Catholic SourceBook Website are in PDF format. These links will open in a new windows. You will need the Acrobat Reader to be able to view them.

The Old Catholic SourceBook is an ongoing project with new material posted as it come to light. If anyone is interested in contributing material for the SourceBook please fell free to contact the Webmaster.
