- Holy Church of Jesus Christ
Holy Church of Jesus Christ is a schismatic sect in the Latter Day Saint movement that formed under the leadership of Alexandre Caffiaux, a French member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite).
In 1963, Caffiaux travelled from France to Wisconsin to become a member of the Strangite church. In Wisconsin, he was baptized and was ordained to the priesthood.[J. Gordon Melton (1996, 5th ed.). "Encyclopedia of American Religions" (Detroit, Mich.: Gale) p. 583.] On his return flight to France, Caffiaux reported receiving a revelation from God that he was the rightful successor to Joseph Smith, Jr. and James J. Strang and that he should become the head of the church.][Stanley L. Johnston (1966). "The Call and Ordination of Alexandre Roger Caffiaux" (n.p.).] ]In 1964, while visiting Iran, Caffiaux reported being visited by an angel in a vision and being ordained a prophet, seer, and revelator and the embodiment of the First Presidency of the Melchizedek priesthood.[ Other Stangite adherents in France supported Caffiaux in his claims.]Although Caffiaux called for a general church conference to consider his claims, none was called. At a conference of the Stangite church in France, the Stangite adherents voted to rename their congregation "Église sainte de Jésus Christ" — the "Holy Church of Jesus Christ". In 1978, the Stangite church formally rejected Caffiaux's claims.The Holy Church of Jesus Christ has congregations in France and in New Mexico in the United States.References
