They are another group, like the PNCC, that are not in full communion with the Church and therefore cannot be said to have the fullness of the Catholic faith.
If I may ask, what sparked your interest in these two churches?
God bless you
Another thread sort of prompted this question?
It was the Westboro Baptist church thread that prompted the question "Who decides what is and is not Baptist. The point was made that every other Baptist organization might claim they are not Baptist but they claim they are true Baptists and every other Baptist is false.
I happened to have known of these groups and It occurred to me that the same issue exists here. Any organization can coopt a name and there is nothing that the other organizations that use the same name can do about it.
Then it occurred to me that there are at least two possible views one can hold of Christianity as a whole. One can look at it organizationally, and from that perspective these are distinct organizations from your organization, I agree.
But one can also look at Christianity from a hierarchical view.
On the top level you have Christianity.
Then you have 3-4 children classifications: Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and perhaps Restorationalist.
Underneath you might have the various national Orthodox churches and the major Protestant branches.
Underneath this you might have distinct Protestant organizations.
So then I asked where do these organizations fit on this hierarchical view. Don’t know for sure, but in a hierarchical sense you might have the word Catholic used for at least thre organizations under it.
I found this interesting, so I thought I would ask.
