On August 22, 2020, His Beatitude, The Most Reverend Dr. Heigo Ritsbek, MA, MDiv, DMin, LittD, DD, Patriarch of The Anglocatholic Church, established by a decree under General Office of Tallinn Patriarchate of The Anglocatholic Church, The Office of Canon Law, which will be led as The Prefect, His Eminence, The Most Reverend Dr. David Smith, DD, Metropolitan Archbishop of The Anglocatholic Church.
In the world of theological books there are books for great value to us, and some which are contrary of the beliefs of The Anglocatholic Church. These books we endorse here do not express always the teachings of the Anglocatholic Church, but we advise to read them. So you may order them by amazon.com. Today we begin these new statements on our webpage.
Today I advise you to get two books by Bishop Kenneth N. Myers (he is a Bishop in Apostolic Succession), the titles are Salvation (And How We Got It Wrong) and The End is Near … Or Maybe Not!
Blessings from Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Amen.

By this statement any catholic bishop in an unbroken apostolic line from the original Roman Catholic Bishop is a true Catholic Bishop, but we must remember to stay as close to the original source as much as possible.
The Anglocatholic Church understands that statements concerning Apostolic Succession and valid Eucharist makes us “a true particular church” in the understanding of The Holy See.
