The American Catholic Church in the United States (ACCUS) is an Independent Catholic Church primarily in the United States, founded in 1999. ACCUS is an offshoot of the Independent Catholic movement, and so has no ecclesiastical relation with the Roman Catholic Church. ACCUS claims apostolic succession through Duarte Costa.[1]
