The Ontario Old Roman Catholic Church is a theologically conservative and socially liberal Old Roman Catholic or Independent Catholic denomination in Toronto, Canada, that grew out of the Old Catholic Church of Canada. It aligns itself with Christ Catholic Church, a communion of churches who left Christ Catholic Church International (of which the Liberal Catholic Church of Ontario is a part) feeling it had become Protestantised. It uses the Tridentine Mass in English and has not yet ordained women (though it is not opposed in principle to doing so), but extends the sacrament of matrimony to homosexual couples .
The parish of St. Andrew worships in an Anglican church in Toronto and has cordial relations with Beloved Disciple Eucharistic Catholic Church.
