Old Roman Catholic Church in North America

The Old Roman Catholic Church in North America is an independent Old Catholic denomination. It descends from the North American Old Roman Catholic Church founded by Archbishop Carmel Henry Carfora. Archbishop Richard Arthur Marchenna consecrated Robert Alfred Burns, a priest ordained by Carmel Henry Carfora, in 1961. Burns left Marchenna in 1963. That year he joined with Archbishop Wilfred A. Barrington-Evans of the Old Roman Catholic Church (English Rite) and began using that designation. He was appointed Archbishop of Chicago by Barrington-Evans.
