Catholics without Rome examines the dawn of the modern, ecumenical
age, when "Old Catholics," unable to abide Rome's new doctrine of
papal infallibility, sought unity with other "catholics" in the
Anglican and Eastern Orthodox churches. In 1870, the First Vatican
Council formally embraced and defined the dogma of papal
infallibility. A small and vocal minority, comprised in large part
of theologians from Germany and Switzerland, judged it uncatholic
and unconscionable, and they abandoned the Roman Catholic Church,
calling themselves "Old Catholics." This study examines the Old
Catholic Church's efforts to create a new ecclesiastical structure,
separate from Rome, while simultaneously seeking unity with other
Christian confessions. Many who joined the Old Catholic movement
had long argued for interconfessional dialogue, contemplating the
possibility of uniting with Anglicans and the Eastern Orthodox. The
reunion negotiations initiated by Old Catholics marked the
beginning of the ecumenical age that continued well into the
twentieth century. Bryn Geffert and LeRoy Boerneke focus on the
Bonn Reunion Conferences of 1874 and 1875, including the complex
run-up to those meetings and the events that transpired thereafter.
Geffert and Boerneke masterfully situate the theological
conversation in its wider historical and political context,
including the religious leaders involved with the conferences, such
as Doellinger, Newman, Pusey, Liddon, Wordsworth, Ianyshev,
Alekseev, and Bolotov, among others. The book demonstrates that the
Bonn Conferences and the Old Catholic movement, though unsuccessful
in their day, broke important theological ground still relevant to
contemporary interchurch and ecumenical affairs. Catholics without
Rome makes an original contribution to the study of ecumenism, the
history of Christian doctrine, modern church history, and the
political science of confessional fellowships. The book will
interest students and scholars of Christian theology and history,
and general readers in Anglican and Eastern Orthodox churches
interested in the history of their respective confessions.
