Isn't this considered a Sect/division in Roman Catholicism?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Catholic
These people do Not sound like the majority of Roman Catholics today. Or is this sect the REAL original form of Roman Catholicism?
They tell you straight up, "Your a Protestant and your going to Hell for that!!"

Old Catholic churches are not under the authority of Rome. They broke away. Most of them left over disagreements with Roman Catholic doctrine. Old Catholic churches are often considered separate Christian denominations, such as the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands.
"Old school" is a different term, which just describes various types of hardline traditionalists. There are also "old school" Baptists, or even "old school" rappers. It's a fairly generic term.

no - they are not Roman Catholic. They left the Church after the Frist Vatican Council.
However, they are also not the same as the "traditionalist" you linked to. Those are individuals who broke with the Church after the Second Vatican Council. Because the Church no longer wants them to simply "pray, pay, and Obey" they claim it isn't valid.
