They sought a place of Christian worship, along with freedom of interpretation, in the English branch of the European Old Catholic Church, centered upon [[Utrecht]] in the Netherlands.

The members of this resulting Christian Communion declared themselves to be “Old Catholics” as distinct from those Catholics who accepted the [[dogma]] of the doctrine of the [[Papal Infallibility|infallibility]] of the Bishop of Rome when speaking [[Ex cathedra|ex-Cathedra]] on questions of faith and morals.
