Official Statement of the Apostolic Episcopal Church (The Holy Eastern Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox Church)

Since the publication of this Notice, representations have been made by the AEC to Instagram which have resulted in the false claims described below being removed from their service.

The official website of the Apostolic Episcopal Church is at https://san-luigi.org/churches/catholicate-of-the-west/the-apostolic-episcopal-church and the official Instagram pages of the Apostolic Episcopal Church are at https://www.instagram.com/santaigrejaortodoxaoriental and https://www.instagram.com/ortodoxosorientaisapostolicos

The Apostolic Episcopal Church has been known by the subtitle The Holy Eastern Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox Church since its founding years and has authorized this subtitle to be used by its missions in Brazil either in the English or Brazilian Portuguese languages.

The Apostolic Episcopal Church makes it known to the public that it has become aware that certain individuals in Brazil are using our name and symbols without permission on Instagram and passing themselves off as members of our clergy. Such activity is fraudulent.

A list of authorized clergy of the Apostolic Episcopal Church is provided at https://san-luigi.org/churches/catholicate-of-the-west/the-apostolic-episcopal-church/clergy/ and any person who is not listed there is not a part of the clergy of our church.

The fraudulent use of our name and symbols is occurring at https://www.instagram.com/p/DI4g887xBXs/?igsh=OGpmZXV3N3NhZDFx where one Javier Montaña is named. This person is not a member of our church.

The symbol below designating The Holy Eastern Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox Church was devised by the present Primate of the AEC and he owns all copyright that subsists in it. Only authorized clergymen of the AEC may use the symbol to designate their clergy membership in our church.
