The
Anglican Patriarchate (Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church) is a
Gallo-Russo-Byzantine ecclesiastical sovereignty by right of Rome with
an independent government in special consultative status with the
United Nations Economic and Social Council. Additionally, we descend
from the See of Utrecht, which was granted autonomy in 1145 by Pope
Eugene III and confirmed in 1520 by Pope Saint Leo X in the Bull
Debitum Pastoralis, this right becoming known as the Leonine Privilege.
As the sole successor of Pope Saint Leo X and temporal successor of St.
Peter the Apostle in Italy and Britain, the Patriarchate is fully
Catholic and holds the same canonical authority as the Roman Communion
(Vatican). The Patriarchate is the ecclesiastical successor to temporal
Rome, the temporal patrimony of the Roman Empire claimed historically
by right of the papacy. The succession passed to the Patriarchate after
Benedict XVI by right of Rome and Florence, with the Papa-Prince of
Rome with papal authority as temporal successor of St. Peter, and the
Pope-Bishop of Rome as spiritual successor of St. Peter and de facto
sovereign of the Vatican City-State. Although administratively
independent, the Apostolic See of the Patriarchate embraces as brethren
other Catholic and Anglican bodies, such as the current Roman Communion
(commonly referred to as the Roman Catholic Church), the Anglican
Ordinariate, and the Anglican Communion. The Imperial Roman Church is
defined as the Anglican Patriarchate and the churches of all Bishops
recognised by the Apostolic See.
