Old Catholic Archdiocese of Utrecht
The Old Catholic Archdiocese of Utrecht is an archdiocese within the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands which split from the Archdiocese of Utrecht officially in 1723 because of the illicit consecration of Cornelius van Steenoven to the episcopate. Since 2020, its archbishop is Bernd Wallet. The first Old Catholic archbishop of Utrecht was elected in 1723. The Old Catholic archbishop of Utrecht is automatically the president of the International Old Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Union of Utrecht. It is regarded as the mother church of Old Catholic churches. St. Gertrude's Cathedral is the cathedral of the archdiocese.
