Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church
The Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church ((ポルトガル語:Igreja Católica Apostólica Brasileira), ; ICAB) is an independent Catholic church established in 1945 by Brazilian excommunicated Roman Catholic bishop Carlos Duarte Costa.
ICAB has 39 dioceses and has sister churches in many countries.〔Notes from 19th National Council of ICAB, July 2007〕 It is the mother church of the Worldwide Communion of Catholic Apostolic Churches and the current President of the Episcopal Council in Brazil is Patriarch Dom Josivaldo Perreira de Oliveira.
==Beliefs and organization ==
The ICAB accepts the Nicene, Athanasian, and Apostles' creeds and observes seven sacraments (baptism, Eucharist, confirmation, penance, unction, matrimony and ordination).〔 〕 ICAB practices open communion for all Christians who acknowledge the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The church acknowledges divorce as a reality of life and permitted in Holy Scripture and will marry divorced persons after the Ecclesiastical Process of Investigation and baptize the children of divorced or single parents. The church also does not recognize the use of rosaries or personal confession.〔("Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church" at ''Enciclopédia TioSam'' (copied July 6, 2007) ) 〕
ICAB teaches that birth control is acceptable in certain circumstances (such as for disease prevention). It opposes abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and any other taking of human life.〔 The church has three administrative branches, in line with the conception of a nation state: executive (Episcopal Council), legislative (National Council), and judicial (Superior Ecclesiastical Court).〔("The Pope who is not the Pope, but is Pope", ''Diário de Natal'' newspaper, April 9, 2006, p. 14 ) 〕 There are currently 52 bishops and 39 dioceses within Brazil.〔 Their official motto is "Deus, Terra e Liberdade" (English:''God, Land and Freedom'').
