[Edited]well you just have to face the facts Us Old Catholicare Valid and our baptisams and so forth are very Valid and Imani temple is and us Old Catholic churches are Catholic.and Pope John as well as this Pop has stated that please read
Dominus Iesus
At the Vatican on 16 June 2000, Pope John Paul II ratified and ordered the publication of Dominus Iesus. This Declaration of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was signed and published by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) in August of the same year.
In this Declaration, the Romanan Catholic Church recognizes the validity of Orders and Sacraments of Old Catholic denominations:
“The Churches which, while not existing in perfect communion with the [Roman] Catholic Church, remain united to her by means of the closest bonds, that is, by apostolic succession and a valid Eucharist, are true particular Churches.”
“Therefore, these separated Churches and communities as such … have by no means been deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation. For the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Catholic Church.” IV. Unicity and Unity of the Church, 17
also it is stated in the Roman catholic Cannon law that we are a Valid catholic church with no tides to Rome.I realy think that most of you guys comenting on this realy dont know Roman catholic law and have read the Statements by your last Pope and the Pope now.
No. Old Catholics is a schsmatic group that broke apostolic succession by ordaining female priests. If it was a case like the Orthodox Church, also an schsmatic group, that did not break apostolic succession, than Old Catholics would have valid sacraments. But since it’s not that case, Old Catholics don’t have valid sacraments.Does the Imani Temple have valid sacraments?
