WELCOME to the Society of Pope Leo XIII, the society was formed in late 2007 by the former Secretary of Doctrine & Faith of the Brazilian Patriarchate of the Igreja Catolica Apostolica Brasileira.
The Most Reverend David Bell was consecrated a Catholic bishop by His Beatitude; Patriarch Luis Fernando Castillo Mendez in the Patriarchal Cathedral Church in Brasilia Brazil assisted by Bishop Josivaldo Pereira. co adjutor Bishop of Rio de Janeirio. (Bishop Josivaldo was consecrated by Patriarch Castillo Mendez) and Bishop Olinto Ferreira Pinto Filho. Diocesan Bishop of Rio de Janerio. (Bishop Olinto Ferreira Pinto Filho was consecrated bishop by bishop Pedro dos Santos Silva who was consecrated by Roman Catholic Bishop Carlos Duarte Costa).
In early 2005 Archbishop Bell was appointed by a Patriarchal Bull as Secretary of Doctrine and Faith of the Brazilian Patriarchate until his resignation in late 2007, this was at his discreation after he learned of a new regime taking over the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church which was extremely liberal. he felt that this was the wrong direction, as the appointed head of the society it was his duty to protect the catholic faith, apostolic line and inform the College of Bishops within the United Kingdom and Australia.
The Australian Archbishop agreed with the decision to break communion with the new regime. Archbishop Bell and Archbishop Anderson joined together both churches to create one catholic society true to the faith and remains as one with now the honorary Patriarch Castillo Mendez, but with him alone and not the new president or the World Council.
Archbishop Bell reminded the new president that anglican churches are not true churches, they are not accepted "Dominus Iesus August 2000" Paragraph 17. but also Paragraph 18 clearly states upon interpretation that the Church of England and churches stemming from them are not true churches.
The Society of Pope Leo XIII carries a valid Roman Catholic Apostolic Succession from the Roman Catholic Bishop Duarte Costa. The society uses the Tridentine Mass in vernecular language and follows the Pre Vatican II.

Even when the society was at one with the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church they always used the tridentine mass and pre Vatican II Roman Pontifical Rites.
Society of Pope Leo XIII has grown in numbers and strength, it continues to do so today.
It is clear without any doubt that according to "Dominus Iesus" August 2000,Paragraph 17 & 18; the Society of Pope Leo XIII is recognised as apart of the Universal churchas it has an unbroken Roman Catholic Apostolic Succession and is a society not a church.
We must remember that the further one gets from the original consecrated Roman Catholic Bishop concerns may arise.
