Reunified Catholic Church

The Reunified Catholic Church (abbreviated RUCC to distinguish it from the Roman Catholic Church) is a development of the late 2010s (exact date to be decided). Pope Gregory XVII, on his accession in 2015, announced that his program was to reunify Christianity as far as possible, and in service of this goal declared that any church willing to accept him as ‘Servant of the Servants of God’ could become a part of the Reunified Catholic Church, retaining their own rites and practices in a similar way to the Eastern Rite Churches - but more so, inasmuch as they may retain a non-episcopal structure. However, to be represented in the House of Bishops at the Continuous Council they need to elect or appoint a bishop-equivalent for every 10,000 members and an archbishop-equivalent for every 100 bishops.

The RUCC is referred to as being in ‘perpetual reformation’.
