The official site of the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch — Malabar Rite, also serving Sophia Divinity School. We are a Catholic church in the original, universal, sense of that word as well as in our form of sacramental worship. We are neither Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, nor Protestant, though our bishops and priests trace their Holy Orders, or “apostolic succession” (the tradition of bishops consecrating other bishops), through Roman Catholic and Orthodox lines. In this way we trace our roots as far back any other Catholic or Orthodox church. Our priests perform the liturgy and administer the seven sacraments.
