What is the Antioch Movement? The Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch-Malabar Rite was an independent Catholic jurisdiction, which formed part of the independent Catholic movement for over fifty years. Churches which derive their apostolic succession from the former Patriarch, Herman Spruit, share not only the sacramental tradition and its esoteric energies, but also Spruit’s commitment to non-dogmatism, and LOVE as the final rule. Though we are not affiliated with either the Roman Communion or the Orthodox Communion, we have great love and respect for the traditional expressions of Catholic Christianity, and honor the great gift of apostolic succession which comes to us through both of the traditional communions. Called to a ministry of love and reconciliation for all, we make the seven sacraments freely available to all who approach our altars sincerely seeking communion with the Living Christ, without regard for such juridical matters as denominational affiliation, marital status, sexual orientation, or any other human obstacle to the all-encompassing love which is our heritage and destiny in God.
Santuário San Rafael Antiochene Catholic Church is a Los Angeles based parish ministry of the Antioch movement which offers sacramental ministry, spiritual direction, and study opportunities in Christian mysticism to sincere seekers. We participate in many activities of the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch-Malabar Rite, and its family of associated churches and ministries, and maintain ties of ecclesial communion with many and diverse bishops of the independent Catholic movement. Most Rev. Roberto J. Foss, Bishop ad gentes.

Liberal and Catholic
While many independent Catholic churches (those churches, not in communion with Rome or the Eastern Orthodox, who nevertheless have valid Apostolic Succession), are traditionalist and often even stricter than the traditional churches, we are consciously and proudly liberal. That means that we don’t force our doctrine or views on anyone, and we compel no particular dogmas: instead, we hope and pray that each person takes their personal journey seriously and decides for themselves what they believe in regard to ultimate truth.
At the same time, we hold up LOVE as the guiding principle and affirm that the sacraments are channels of grace and love which connect us to the deep love and energy of the living Christ. |
