Expansion
In its early years in Argentina, the Church achieved only modest success, due to the overwhelmingly conservative character of Argentine Catholicism, but the toehold of a future mission in Salvador, Brazil was established, through friendship with Father - later Bishop - Roberto Garrido Padin of the Independent Catholic Churches there. The Church's missions would later spread to Zürich, Switzerland and Munich, Germany where Father Braschi eventually set up home in the 1990s. In 1998, in the Orthodox Basilica in Munich, Father Braschi was consecrated Bishop by Roberto Garrido Padin of Brazil and Bishop Hilarios Ungerer of the Free Catholic Church of Germany. Bishop Braschi now divides his time between the various small communities in Europe and Latin America, with new fledgling mission outposts in the United States, the United Kingdom and Portugal.

Famous quotes containing the word expansion:
“Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“The fundamental steps of expansion that will open a person, over time, to the full flowering of his or her individuality are the same for both genders. But men and women are rarely in the same place struggling with the same questions at the same age.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
