We use the Holy Bible Reina Valera Version - Jerusalem Version, and Nacar and Colunga Version, along with

the Book of Common Prayer 1928 (Spanish and English), the American and Anglican Missals, with links of piety and traditional rites, the daily lectionary of the Office of Prayer, Proper Masses of the day. Sunday Masses, special masses are transmitted, and feasts of the saints until 1535. We will celebrate those feasts of saints

. In the future, the Old Anglo-Catholic Movement 1515 will incorporate. We are the founders of the Missionary Monks of Saint Lawrence, under the auspices and ecclesiastic authorization of the Continuing Anglican Movement from England since 1970.

65% of our parishioners speak Spanish, 20% speak English, 5% speak French, 5% speak Portuguese, 1% speak Arabic, 1% speak Russian, 1% speak Mandarin, and 3% speak German. Spanish is the official language of most countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, Equatorial Guinea, and Spain. Brazil, located in the South American continent, speaks Portuguese with a population of approximately 212 million.

75% of our clergy speak Spanish, 15% are bilingual or trilingual (Spanish-English-Portuguese-French), and 5% however, they speak Spanish or Portuguese, also speak the languages ​​of the indigenous peoples of the American continent (Quechua, Guaraní, Aymara, Nahuatl, Mayan, Mapuche, Greenlandic, Eskimo, Inuinnaqtun, Inupiaq, Mohawk, Cherokee, Crow, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Navajo, and Penobscot).

Our clergy and parishioners in contact with and fellowship from the African and Asian continents speak their respective official languages ​​and their ancestral languages. Africa: Many languages ​​are spoken in Africa, including Niger-Congolese, Bantu, Afro-Asiatic, Nilo-Saharan, and Khoisan (Afrikaans). Asia: Many languages ​​are spoken in Asia, including Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Sino-Tibetan, Tai-Kadai, and Hmong-Mien.

To live decently, our clerics have a civil job and one or two university civil professions in addition to having completed Philosophy, Communication Sciences, and Theology. Some of our clerics are artists. All our clergy is male (married or single). Celibacy in this Church is optional, although our Church does not have female clergy.

We respect churches that have women as ministers or pastors.

We do not marry same-sex couples, nor do we advocate homosexuality. We do not pursue sexual preference; we are against applying inquisitions or the death penalty to a son or daughter of God.

We practice non-racism and non-discrimination, and we are against war. We do not bless armies, weapons, or governments that promote wars. We summarize our pastoral work in Love, free service, and compassion.

Our religious organization does not collect tithes. Our clerics have no commitments to donate to the Mother Church. Each cleric or believer (freely and voluntarily) donates financial resources to maintain our website, the needs of the records of the Church, and the mission trips of the Archbishop Primate or Patriarch.

We believe that the spiritual state of Salvation and Individual Holiness of the Spirit are exclusive gifts that come from God, and the Almighty is the one who bestows and bestows them. No human organization of mortal earthlings, no matter how chosen or called to service, love, compassion, charity, and mercy, has scriptures or privileges to declare who is holy, much less to affirm that salvation or holiness comes from them and their dogmas, whims, or decrees. Only upright and perfect humans of impeccable conduct and uncorrupted morality can bear witness that God exists and that from their excellent life testimonies comes the example to follow the path to salvation and holiness, the path of truth and perfection being Jesus Christ himself.

We accept the 7 Sacraments of the Undivided Church of the early times and the 7 Ecumenical Councils of the Early Church. Compliance with or following the 39 Articles of Religion incorporated into Reformation Anglicanism is optional. No one has the right to force our clergy or parishioners to comply with them. We accept everything about the universal Catholicism of the early Church in its early times, without corruption or distracting dogmas. We do not incorporate human whims or financial dealings to distract from the true faith of the holy apostles.

Making the Church or the faith a profitable business to quench the thirst for perversion of deviants who claim to be the chosen and true ones, we must confront them with earthly justice and human laws under the first fruits of the 10 Commandments of the Law of God.

We believe we must dismantle the immorality of those who have violated the call to perfection of all immoral people, so that they may be brought before international tribunals of justice by civil governments.

As the Holy Scriptures state, every sin or abomination (without fanaticism or fundamentalism) has its spiritual penalty of death, and only God, with the true repentance of the sinner, can grant salvation to all.

Sexuality is a human right. Every mortal human being on Earth (male or female) has the right to have a sexual partner freely and without any kind of pressure. All humans must respect each other's sexuality for the common good and the civilization of love. Human sexual relations are sacred, and choice and taste are individual. The decision to love is individual, and no person, regardless of whether they are a biological father or mother, has any right over the sexuality of their children although everyone must set an excellent and perfect example of conduct and life in order to demand that no one violate the law or the chastity, purity, and purity of others.

Every individual in the human race has the right to choose a better half or a better half to enjoy life and to sow dignity, equity, and social balance. The Church promotes that couples should love each other eternally as civilized beings through the holy bond of marriage with the blessing and presence of a holy and perfect priest as a witness. However, it is aware that if love dies, marriages between the poor and the rich should be immediately annulled, and individuals can and should remarry or remain single to serve God and his people.

We recommend avoiding promiscuity as much as possible. If you cannot and need help, you should not speak to a priest but rather to a sexologist. If two adults over 18 years of age decide to love each other and live together as a sexual and romantic couple, the law should provide them with tools so that the property they both acquire as advancement and self-improvement is not stolen or snatched by abusive relatives who demand material items and resources they believe they have because they are connected by blood. ...

The law should put swindlers in jail, and thieves should return belongings to their rightful owners.

The Old Anglo-Catholic Movement 1515 through 

The Latin-American Anglican Church 1975

"You are an Eternal Priest, according to the Rite of High Priest Melchizedek."

Melchizedek: King of Salem, Priest of the Most High God, when Abraham returned from defeating the kings, he approached him and blessed him, receiving from him a tithe of the spoils. His name means "King of Justice," and he also bears the title of King of Salem, that is, "King of Peace." Without father, mother, and genealogy (he was a single, celibate man of God). He is not mentioned or known, at the beginning of his days, nor at the end of his life. Under this likeness to the Son of God, he remains a priest forever, and his love, service, and compassion are eternal. This becomes much more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, who is so not under carnal legislation, but by force of an incorruptible life; because he is attesting that God is alive and that his love and mercy make us perfect, without errors, never mistakes, no evil and never perversion or deviation. No mortal earthling human will have the right to withdraw the priesthood once it is granted by faith within a religious ceremony that follows the guidance of the Holy Spirit and complies with the Commands of the true Almighty God. Suppose a "letter of excommunication" is received from any religious authority or denomination. In that case, it has no value before God and must be immediately abolished according to the just earthly law and the dignity of the human person. Suppose someone in particular affirms with a document that his priesthood was spiritually cremated and that his pastoral action was converted to the lay state. In that case, it is a fallacy of evil on the part of the person who exclaims or writes it. Among the aberrations of modern society are the subtle, Machiavellian, and subliminal ways of using words as a manipulative strategy to try to make people believe that there are humans above other humans with more authority before God. This macabre tool is not only a sin, but it harms justice and truth that only come from the heights of God and his Holy Sanctuary.

Priestly power and the ministerial vocation of service are given and received only directly from God. The bishop only transmits the succession lineage, the continuity of faith in God, and everything under the power of the Holy Spirit. The miracle of using power as an instrument of faith in God occurs when the priest is immaculate without sin. Through his actions and individual testimony, we will know the true man of God. The people or groups of faith that collect tithes are swindlers. No one should give tithes to merchants of faith. Every priest must work in a civil job, produce his food, and support himself and his family.

WHERE WE COME FROM (Origin): COAT OF ARMS POPE LEO X

 Pope Leo X: Secular name Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici

(Florence, December 11, 1475 - Rome, December 1, 1521). Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici was the 217th Pope of the Roman Church from 1513 to 1521.

Meaning of the Papal Coat of Arms of Leo X: Gold, six roels placed in a border, that of

the chief in azure with three fleurs-de-lys in gold and the rest in gules. The coat of arms

of Pope Leo X; It is stamped with a papal tiara. In addition, it has the keys of San Pedro

attached, already with the final arrangement of one of silver and the other of gold, joined with a cord

of gules. It must be remembered that the enamels on the keys were all silver, all gold, and finally one

of each, and that the cords, in the beginning, were azure. It is said that the primitive weapons of the

Medici (of gold, eight roels of gules, placed in a strip of three, three and two), come from the profession

of apothecary (pharmacist). One of the first members of this family, since the role of the shield was

intended to see aspirin represented, and the surname Medici translated from Italian is Doctors. In 1465

Louis XI of France grants him the royal role of France, as an increase in honor to

Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici (Florence, January 1, 1449 - Careggi, April 9, 1492), better known as "Lorenzo".

We inherited the Apostolic Succession from 1515 directly from Pope Leo X 

HOLY MARRIAGE

- While we do not persecute sexual preference or question the individual decisions of persons or couples, our organization only marries in Holy Matrimony a woman (Female) to a man (Male), who fully manifests security under the sacrament of Love.

- For all marriages within the territories of the United States, Mexico, and Canada, marriage certificates (bearing the IAL-OACM seals and logos) must bear the authorization and signature of the Primate Archbishop of the United States to be valid. 

- Suppose that one of our members or associated clergy signs a certificate or blesses same-sex couples, in that case, that non-ecclesiastical and possibly legally civil decision is made by the responsible executor (Deacon, priest or bishop), not by the Old Anglo-Catholic Movement 1515 nor by the Latin American Anglican Church 1975. Therefore, each person will interpret such action in their way.

- Let us suppose that someone in particular feels offended, in that case, he/she should resort to civil law as long as it does not affect the faith that we inherited from primitive Christianity, and in no case should the protagonist's error be used to apply new inquisitions. 

- Our Church will not ordain or consecrate men if they tend to marry same-sex couples. Suppose someone takes advantage of evangelization to make an apology for homosexuality or to do business with the sacraments, in that case, these are cases with particular interests, and for the Church it is a mistake of the executor. 

- In any case of homosexual tendency, these acts that imitate a sacred marriage are not from our Traditional Christian Movement or Church organization nor do they belong to our tradition. The sacraments must be sacred and respected by all equally, whether they are believers, non-believers, Christians, non-Christians, atheists, agnostics, different, or people far from the faith in Jesus Christ. 

- If Christian or non-Christian organizations perform dramas or theatrical productions of the dark underground world to appear as sacred ceremonies that contradict the mandates of the Creator (God), we will consider such events as science fiction or perverse mental deviation that filmmakers should take to the big or small screen, but not to the Altar of God and less within the true sanctuaries of the believer who loves and aspires to procreate without defects or perversions a family to establish on earth the kingdom of God and his justice. 

- Each person must answer individually in the final judgment for each of his actions and deeds. The life of sin or the model of life that each person lived in holiness will be evaluated by the Almighty. If on earth someone proclaimed the true faith or derailed his misfortune with his erroneous events, it will be God who judges whether he deserves heaven or hell and not mortal human earthlings. 

- If some organizations or social clubs wear cassocks or try to dress in clothes similar to the dress of angels, the believer should bring his nose close to the setup; if the aroma smells of sulfur, it is better to change the channel and go directly to God and not to the lying men who use the farce to appear holy and are only demons who should not be trusted.

Thank you very much.

UNIQUE ECCLESIASTICAL AND RELIGIOUS SOCIAL IAL-OACM NORMS

MANUAL OF COEXISTENCE AND MUTUAL IAL-OACM SOCIAL RESPECT

1. Communication with God is individual and personal between each person and the Highest. 

2. Bishops, Presbyters, Deacons, and Seminarians have the same responsibility and equality to represent

faith in God and manifest his power. 

3. Therefore, no one governs another within the Church of Jesus Christ, but everyone loves, serves, and sows compassion or mercy to the other. 

4. No clergyman should work to feed another clergyman and even less to support another clergyman's family. 

5. Every clergyman must have a civil job to live and support his blood family. 

6. No bishop governs the Church only serves as the Presbyter, Deacon, or Seminarian. 

7. No Presbyter should support a bishop with gifts or monthly money because they become flamboyant,

lazy, and worldly. 

8. Every bishop must have a productive civil job (Works) and must generate his food and life. 

9. Whoever wants to apply inquisitions or ex-communication letters, must go to seek entry to the infernal

group or join religious groups that represent faith in Satan on this earth or within hell. 

10. Down with the chains that religious empires and spiritual regimes have imposed on mortal earth humans

with inquisitions and letters of ex-communication. 

11. Man is born free and must only obey God by fulfilling the Mandates of The Creator, His Commandments honestly abiding with civil laws without running over harm th freedom of others or his conscience. 

12. No earthly mortal is above another human. 

13. Any offering or contribution to the church is voluntary by the believer and no believer has financial commitments to the Church. 

14. Collecting tithing is theft and fraud. If we want to destroy the crooks of the faith, we must put those who collect tithing in jail. 

15. Strict laws should be drafted to compel clowns who use religion to defraud those who work and produce,

to seek a job worthy of their ability without cheating. 

16. It is an honest way to build the true Church of Jesus of Nazareth with productive and honest men.

Important Communication Teaching:

These Systems and other modern chats (Hi5, Facebook, WhatsApp, X -Twitter-, Instagram, Skype, Messenger 

and others more) are for meeting people, contacts and potential friends. Friendship and brotherhood is a process

that is achieved by using our own intelligence well, respecting others and keeping our distance from our needs.

There are rules and codes that we cannot violate. "Be perfect as My heavenly Father is perfect." 

We cannot put a burden on the shoulders of others until people meet face to face. Helping is not an obligation nor

is it part of trust. The will to help is done after seeing reality and knowing the truth to create ideas and projects

where everyone contributes, everyone works and everyone produces for the benefit of all. Creating productive

men requires changing the beggar mentality for reasoned and productive actions.

If you want others to trust you, you must know that showing the truth face to face is part of trust without asking

for anything. In general, each person must say I am excellent at this and I can contribute this... so that the other can

also voluntarily contribute projects freely. Once you manage to find a non-blood friend or brother, we should all

know that "we should not abuse the horse and the friend" because we are left with nothing and become

boring and lonely objects. 

Please teach this strategy to your people and put it into practice voluntarily, but open your mind and ask God every day for more wisdom to act perfectly.

THE MOST REVEREND SCOTT EARLY MCLAUGHLIN

Archbishop Scott Earle McLaughlin was the Presiding Bishop of the Orthodox Anglican Church, the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Orthodox Anglican Communion, and the Chancellor of Saint Andrew's Theological College and Seminary. On 1 May 1999 McLaughlin was consecrated as a bishop by Herbert M. Groce, Metropolitan Archbishop of the Anglican Rite Synod in the Americas, assisted by Bishop Larry Shaver of the Anglican Rite Synod in the Americas, and Bishop Robert J. Godfrey of the Orthodox Anglican Communion.

His apostolic succession is Anglican, Old Catholic, and Orthodox. McLaughlin served as suffragan bishop until 30 April 2000, when Bishop Godfrey retired. He was then elected Presiding Bishop of the Orthodox Anglican Church and the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Orthodox Anglican Communion. He was the fourth archbishop to lead the Orthodox Anglican Communion and the Orthodox Anglican Church. He was married with four children: two sons and two daughters. McLaughlin was a signatory to the Bartonville Agreement and a covenant of intercommunion with the Most Revd Augustin Bacinsky, Archbishop of the Old Catholic Church in Slovakia.

On June 23, 2003 (in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, The United States), Archbishop Scott Earle McLaughlin and the Bishops of the Orthodox Anglican Communion nominated and elevated to The Most Reverend Leonardo Marin-Saavedra (After 7 days that His Excellency had received his Episcopal Consecration) as Primate Archbishop of the Latin-American Anglican Church and endorsed his appointment as International President of the Old Anglo-Catholic Movement with the endorsement of all bishops of the College of Bishops of the Orthodox Anglican Communion. 

In 2007, 2008, and 2009, the Orthodox Anglican Communion extended its protection, succession, legal and ecclesiastical protection, to all the Bishops consecrated by the Latin-American Anglican Church, in Venezuela, Colombia, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Spain, England, Belgium, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Bolivia, and in other nations in Asia and Africa, with facts, church ministry, mission stations, and established missions. In 2012, on Ash Wednesday, McLaughlin announced his retirement effective Easter Sunday and nominated T. Creighton Jones of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to be his successor. This nomination was confirmed by a vote of the General Convention of the Orthodox Anglican Church on June 9, 2012.

THE ORTHODOX ANGLICAN COMMUNION

The Anglican Orthodox Communion was established in 1964, (the Orthodox Anglican Communion was later formed to oversea the churches abroad). The Anglican Orthodox Communion was one of the first such communions to be formed outside of the See of Canterbury and therefore is not part of the Anglican Communion. The Anglican Orthodox Communion adheres to the doctrine, discipline, and worship contained in the classic Anglican formularies, especially in the 1662 English, 1928 American, 1929 Scottish, and 1962 Canadian Books of Common Prayer. The presiding bishop of the American branch of the communion, known in the United States as the Anglican Orthodox Church, serves as the metropolitan of the global communion. The communion has over one million members worldwide, with branches in North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The first regional conference of bishops was convened by the communion's primate at the Imperial Hotel in Kisumu, Kenya on August 24, 2009.

History: The church was founded by Episcopalians who withdrew from the Episcopal Church in 1963. The new jurisdiction was incorporated in the state of North Carolina in March 1964. Its founders intended to establish a conservative and low-church alternative to the Episcopal Church. Episcopal polity with apostolic succession was maintained with the consecration of its first bishop on Passion Sunday in 1964 by bishops of Eastern Orthodox and Old Catholic lineages. In 1999, Bishop Robert Godfrey and a majority of the church's clergy met in committee and determined to align the church more closely with the Continuing Anglican churches in worship style. A name change was also made. In opposition, lay leaders and standing committee close to the founding bishop and a small minority of the clergy subsequently started a new church and incorporated anew as

the Anglican Orthodox Church International (AOCI).

On April 30, 2000, Godfrey retired as Presiding Bishop in favor of his suffragan bishop, Scott Earle McLaughlin. In 2005, the jurisdiction changed its name from the Episcopal Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of America to the Orthodox Anglican Church. Godfrey and McLaughlin were signatories to the Bartonville Agreement in 1999. In 2007, McLaughlin signed a Covenant of Intercommunion between the OAC and the Old Catholic Church in Slovakia, represented by the Most Revd Augustin Bacinsky. The Old Catholic Church of Slovakia seceded from the Utrecht Union in 2004 because of the Union's approval of women's ordination and same-sex blessings. On Ash Wednesday 2012, McLaughlin announced his retirement and the nomination of Creighton Jones of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to be his successor. That nomination was confirmed by the General Convention on June 9, 2012. Jones was consecrated as a bishop and enthroned as the presiding bishop and Metropolitan archbishop on July 21, 2012, at the Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

In 2014, the church celebrated 50 years as a jurisdiction of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church and also marked the 50th anniversary of its incorporation in the state of North Carolina (March 6, 2014). On November 16, 2014, Archbishop Jones announced his retirement and nominated his suffragan, Thomas Gordon, to be his successor. On April 18, 2015, a special general convention of the church was held and delegates from the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico unanimously approved of the nomination. Thomas E. Gordon was enthroned the same day as the sixth Presiding Bishop of the Orthodox Anglican Church and the Metropolitan of the Orthodox Anglican Communion. The Apostolic succession is the method whereby the ministry of the Christian Church is held to be derived from the apostles by a continuous succession, which has usually been associated with a claim that the succession is through a series of bishops. Christians of the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Old Catholic, Moravian, Hussite, Anglican, Church of the East, and Scandinavian Lutheran traditions maintain that "a bishop cannot have regular or valid orders unless he has been consecrated in this apostolic succession". Each of these groups does not necessarily consider the consecration of the other groups as valid.

This series was seen originally as that of the bishops of a particular see founded by one or more of the apostles. According to historian Justo L. González, apostolic succession is understood today as meaning a series of bishops, regardless of see, each consecrated by other bishops, themselves consecrated similarly in a succession going back to the apostles. According to the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue Between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, "Apostolic Succession" means more than mere transmission of powers. It is the succession in a church that witnesses to the apostolic faith, in communion with the other churches, witnesses of the same apostolic faith. The "see (cathedra) plays a significant role in inserting the bishop into the heart of ecclesial apostolicity", but once ordained, the bishop becomes in his church the guarantor of apostolicity and becomes a successor of the apostles.

Those who hold for the importance of apostolic succession via episcopal laying on of hands appeal to the New Testament, which, they say, implies a personal apostolic succession (from Paul to Timothy and Titus, for example). They appeal as well to other documents of the early Church, especially the Epistle of Clement. In this context, Clement explicitly states that the apostles appointed bishops as successors and directed that these bishops should in turn appoint their own successors; given this, such leaders of the Church were not to be removed without cause and not in this way. Further, proponents of the necessity of the personal apostolic succession of bishops within the Church point to the universal practice of the undivided early Church (up to AD 431), before it was divided into the Church of the East, Oriental Orthodoxy, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Roman Catholic Church. Some Protestants deny the need for this type of continuity, and the historical claims involved have been severely questioned by them, Anglican academic Eric G. Jay comments that the account is given of the emergence of the episcopate in Chapter III of the dogmatic constitution Lumen Gentium (1964) "is very incomplete, and many ambiguities in the early history of the Christian ministry are passed over".

Information: If it is the will of God, starting in August, Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ 2025, the Ancient Anglo-Catholic Movement 1515 through the Latin American Anglican Church 1975, will deliver the Ecclesiastical Bull as "Archbishop Emeritus of the Americas" to + Leonardo Marin-Saavedra, who will retire as a religious authority, but will continue to be the Worker of Jesus Christ as the Eternal Priest of God, according to the Rite of Melchizedek. + Leonardo, was at the head of the religious organization for the last 22 consecutive years from the United States of North America. The ceremony of granting credentials to the Emeritus along with the Enthronement of the new one, will be carried out with the help of the Almighty, on December 17 of the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ 2025 in the Cathedral of Saint Mary of Walsingham (In the city of Houston, Texas, United States of North America. Members of the IAL-OACM College of Bishops of the USA will participate in the event and ceremony), accompanied by each of the member bishops from countries in Latin America and the Caribbean Sea, and associate guest bishops from various Christian denominations around the world. Bishops and clergy from different Churches and some allied Christian denominations were invited to the unique event that will continue the mission of the Holy Apostles through the Anglo-Catholic Missionaries.
