Non-negotiable and irrevocable Principles for this Church:

I. The Holy Eucharist as center of the apostolic life of the Church.

The Lord Jesus Christ, on the night before his Passion, instituted and commanded us to Celebrate the perpetual Memorial of his death and resurrection until his Parousia. He, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, with his Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, with his supreme sacrifice of love on the cross and by ministry of the priests and bishops, is given to us, and becomes spiritual food in Our pilgrimage to the House of the Father, to assimilate ourselves to Him, to make us enter into Communion with Him and with others and thus build the Body of Christ on earth, the Militant Church; United by the Communion of Saints with the Triumphant Church in heaven and the Expectant Church in Paradise. The Sacrifice of the Cross and the Sacrifice of the Altar, is one and the same, not another; Is the bloodless renewal of that most cruel sacrifice of our Lord offered once and for all to the heavenly Father; By the Holy Eucharist, Christ associates us with his offering to the Father, and through him we receive the fruits of his Passion.

II.- The Holiness of Human Life.

Because God has given it to us freely, human life is sacred and inviolable, so it must be protected absolutely from the first moment of its conception and until its natural death. We say No to abortion, no to euthanasia and everything that threatens the life and dignity of the human being. Each one is responsible for his life before God who has given it. We are stewards and not owners of the life that God has entrusted to us; God is the only owner so we can not own it. As disciples of Christ, we must care for and protect the lives of those who are the weakest in society. Murder is a grave sin that cries out to God and it is up to the authorities to exemplary punish criminals. The one who defends his life is not guilty of murder, legitimate defense can be not only a right, but a serious duty, because the obligation to watch over one's own life or that of our loved ones is greater than for that of another that wants to snatch it.

III.- The Holiness of the Christian Family.

The indissoluble Bridal Alliance, according to the Plan of God, is given between a man and a woman, both baptized and free to marry and who freely before the Christian Community express their will and consent through the mutual exchange of sacred vows and Other actions. It is the will of God that the union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind be for mutual joy; For the help and consolation that each one may give, both in prosperity and in adversity; And, when God so provides, for the procreation of the children and their formation in the knowledge and love of the Lord.

Sexual activity, as a gift of God, should be practiced only within Christian marriage.

IV.- The Ministerial Priesthood, historical and traditional, servants of the Church.

The Priestly Order, composed of the Bishops; Successors of the Apostles in the government of the Church; The priests, who together with their bishop participate in the government of the Church, in their missionary and pastoral work and in the preaching of the Word of God and the administration of their holy sacraments; and the Deacons, collaborators of bishops and priests in their service to the Church and as ministers of charity; Are the perpetuation of the ministry of Christ as High Priest, Pastor and Servant; And entrusted by him to his apostles and from these to his successors to the present day. It has been and is the intention of this Church to preserve and continue these three different orders for the service and growth of the people of God. This Church confers the sacrament of Orders only on baptized men, whose abilities for the exercise of the ministry have been duly recognized. Men chosen and recognized by the authority of the Church as called by God to the ordained ministry are admitted to these sacred orders by means of solemn prayer and the imposition of episcopal hands.

Bishops should take care not to participate in a personal capacity in the Administration of the Sacraments to churches and / or denominations that are not in Peace and Communion with this Church.
