Greetings, My Name is Father Paul Andrew this is The facts about the American Orthodox Catholic Church

Since the creation of the first American Orthodox Catholic Church. This church has gone through a lot of tribulation, all through the 20th century. The American Orthodox Catholic Church is a true canonical Orthodox Church given it automy as a Autocephalus Oxthodox in North America. The First Primate of the American Orthodox Catholic Church was Aftimios Ofiesh of Blessed Memory. Since becoming the first Metrpolitan of the Church given to him my the Ruling Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church, He give all that he had to make the New Church It's status as the First true American Orthodox Church in North America.

One of the problems that the new church faced was the Syrian Orthodox Churh sending one of it Bishops to get the Syrian Mission to come back under the Syrian Metropolia. The other problem was do to the Ruissan Metropolia in North America had stoped it support to Atimios and his Bishops.Plus The Russian Orthodox Church abroad was telling it clergy and it people not to have anything to do with the New Church.

With so many problems with the New Church, Afitmios steped down as Metropolitan of the American Orthodox Catholic Church to Marry. A few of his Bishops tried to carry one where Atimios left off,but they to stoped and went back to the Russian Metropolia. On Bishop was left to keep the Church going and had to consecrate one bishop which he did under canonial Canons. Through this he was able to consecate another Bishop with help. Through out the Church History the Afimios line were stabled not only with Russian Lines but also line that come from The Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria,Syrian Orthodox Church, Old Calendar Greek Orthodox Church of Athens.The Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Albanian Orthodox Church. With these true canonical Lines The American Orthodox Catholic Church is as canonical as the Main stream Church as well as the Orthodox Church of America (OCA).So no matter what others say about us, The American Orthodox Catholic Church is here to stay and it will not fade away.
