Welcome to my website! I am Bishop James Long, the Presiding Archbishop for the United States Old Catholic Church. It is an honor to have this opportunity to share my journey with you.
I was born and raised in Louisville, KY, within the Roman Catholic tradition. From a young age, I felt a deep calling to serve the church and knew that I wanted to become a priest. Even as a child of just five years old, the path before me was clear.
As I grew older, my thirst for knowledge and understanding led me to delve into the realms of demonology. At the age of nine, I began earnestly studying books on this topic, embarking on a lifelong journey to explore the depths of theology and demonology.
After completing high school, I felt compelled to spend a few years working before fully dedicating my life to the church. Eventually, I accepted God's calling and enrolled in the Roman Seminary. It was at Loyola University in Chicago where I obtained my undergraduate degree while continuing my seminary studies at the graduate level.
During this time, I received my Minor Orders from the Roman Catholic Church. However, it was also during this transformative period that I felt a clear message from God, a beckoning to serve within the Old Catholic Church. Through spiritual discernment and profound prayer, I humbly accepted this divine call.
Within the United States Old Catholic Church, I have been ordained as a Deacon, Priest, and consecrated to the Episcopacy. With great joy and conviction, I stand before you today, armed with a 110-page document attesting to my Apostolic Succession.
As the Presiding Archbishop, my mission extends far beyond the confines of a single local congregation. I am deeply committed to teaching Bible Study to the public, sharing the wisdom and enlightenment that the Scriptures bring. Additionally, I take great pride in training and nurturing future clergy for the Old Catholic Church, ensuring the continuation of our rich traditions.
I invite you to join me on this extraordinary journey of faith, knowledge, and service. Together, let us chart a path towards spiritual enlightenment, embracing the wisdom of the past while fearlessly exploring the depths of theology and demonology.
I am here to guide, inspire, and empower you to grow in your own faith, offering my knowledge, experiences, and unwavering dedication. Let us walk this sacred path together, united in our commitment to serving God and discovering the profound truths that lie within the realm of the Old Catholic Church.
May we find solace, strength, and inspiration in these sacred teachings, transforming our lives and making a lasting impact on the world around us.
I am a proud member/founder of the Old Catholic Benedictines of Immaculate Mary and a member of the Order of Corporate Reunion.
