Catholic Church of Christ

The ever growing catholic population in Paraguay have gathered and formed this church. Roman Catholic Clergy have approved of such a measure and the Archbishop of San Tomas, Arch. Jose Lopez, has been elected interim-pontiff. Roman Catholic Church law has been adopted as the norm for this church, except obedience is to the HCCP Pontiff, not his Roman counterpart.The Church is independent of any government and is free to exercise that right per the Paraguayan constitution.
