It is interesting what you can find on the internet. The picture above is the coronation of Archbishop Metropolitan Sherman Randall Pius Mosley as the primate of the Old Roman Catholic Church of America. The article and photos about this coronation is quite interesting. What is even more interesting is that there are still a few newspapers, such as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, that still cover religious events locally and on a consistent basis.
Prior to finding this article, I was not familiar with the OCCA. Reading their history, it shows a familiar pattern of the Roman Catholic Church excommunicating people who disagree with them publicly about doctrine that should be opposed publicly. (For the lazy folks, those who won't read the article or the website of the OCCA, one of the main issues of the break with Rome was papal infallibility.)
This is a very interesting church body. They allow for the marriage of their priests. They hold the liturgy in high regard. Almost a tempting option instead of waiting for Rome to issue its "Great Invitation" to disaffected Lutherans.
This might be worth further investigation.
