The Catholic Church bears the true marks of the Church. Why should the Church merge with the Church of England? On the contrary, the Church of England should return to the one and only true Church of God and that is none other than the Roman Catholic Church.

One new change in 2008 was to remove the word Yahweh from all song and literature used in Mass.
Roman Catholic AnswerThere are no changes, as such, in the Mass. It is still the Mass of the last Roman Missal issued by John Paul II, however it has been re-translated to be more faithful to the original Latin. There were many errors in the ICEL translation that we have been using for forty years. Also, there will now be only one English translation for all countries that use English. The changes are for the people are noted at the web site below.because about 50 years ago when they changed from just latin to the vernacular language they translated it wrong. It is supposed to biring you closer to god.
The Orthodox Church and the Roman Church both have apostolic succession so they are equally old. Anyway at one stage they were one church called the Catholic Orthodox Church or The Universal Truth. The western church (Catholic) wanted to change the creed (a sum of the faith) and started declaring papal supremacy over the other churches - the Orthodox church views the St.Peter on the rock thing a Primacy of Honour not infallibility since Jesus did not make one apostle greater than the other. These were the main events that caused the 1054 schism and creating officially the Catholic and Orthodox Church. However seeing how the Catholic Church changed its teachings,liturgy among other things. The Orthodox Church did not change anything before or after the 1054 schism That is why the Catholic Church views the Orthodox Church as valid, but the Orthodox Church doesn't for the Catholic Church
Seeing as there is no break in historical continuity between the early Church and the Catholic Church, the symbol that applied to the early Church by definition represents the Catholic Church.
I have done a little research on this, and it seems no one knows exactly what part of the country was owned by the Church, but the estimates I am seeing range from 25% to 35% all the land. These numbers are based on income from the land.
No. The Protestant Church was founded by Martin Luther, a German Priest in the 14th century after seeing too much corruption in the Medieval Catholic Church. The center of the Protestant was to Protest against the Protestant Church, hence the word "Protest" in Protestant.
JK Rowling attended St. Michael's Church of England primary school near Bristol and the non-denominational Wydean school. Seeing as she did not attend the nearby Catholic primary secondary schools it is unlikely that Rowling is Catholic but Anglican.
It's definitely a Catholic church seeing by the alter, communion rail, statues, and stain glass windows in the background.
Actually, the Catholic Church is in the business of saving souls by preaching the Gospel and bring Christ to people, and people to Christ. The Church has never gotten into pronouncing on table manners, although there were some members of the Church (note, NOT the Church) who: . from Wikipedia: Some writers of the Roman Catholic Church expressly disapproved of its use (despite its above-mentioned use in the Bible), seeing it as "excessive delicacy": "God in his wisdom has provided man with natural forks - his fingers. Therefore it is an insult to Him to substitute artificial metallic forks for them when eating.
King Henry VIII established The Church of England (the Anglican church). Like the protestant church it was a separation from Roman Catholicism, but it was created under different circumstances. There is some disagreement if the Anglican church should be considered protestant or catholic seeing as it contains parts of Catholicism that Protestant religions disagree with, but also disagrees with Catholicism on some of the same points as Protestant religions. Regardless, the Anglican church considers itself a separate entity entirely.
You can but your behavior is contrary to Catholic moral rules. Ask your priest--I am not a Catholic authority.
The answer depends on the definition of "denomination".Christians formed different kind of sects fairly early (Gnosticism)."The church" was divided (Roman Cath. & Eastern Orthodox) in 1054. At the time, the churches didn't see each other's as "denominations"; the opposing side was simply "heretical".In reformation, many protestant denominations were created. That's when the Catholic church had to start seeing itself as a denomination, as well, to define its teachings and policy.Lutheranism became a separate movement in about 1530. The Church of England separated from the Catholic church in 1534.
I assume you mean "who were [the people] that started the christian religion?" Right? If so: Jesus Christ is the founder of the Catholic Church, and he said that he would be with the it for all time. And if the Catholic Church fell into corruption, then he would have lied. Which we know that seeing he is God and the perfect being, he cannot/will not lie. Making the Catholic Church Infallible. Martin Luther broke away because he misconceived what the Catholic Church taught as he witnessed part of the clergy doing wrong things (such as having people pay for indulgences, which is against the Catholic faith). The Pope at that time, Pope Leo X, tried to get Luther to talk with him in public so he could straighten out his errors (the errors in the 95 theses), but Luther refused to comply. You don't have to take my word on that, it is in the Papal Bull "Exsurge Domine" by Pope Leo X. And from Martin Luther's break-away from the Catholic Church, the other Christian religions were formed. And all of them are considered protestant.
They can most definitely have their funeral in a Catholic church. As far as their soul going to hell; Catholics believe that if you're not baptized you can still go to heaven, but you can't see God.Roman Catholic AnswerOf course they may still have a funeral. The Catholic Church does not teach that anybody goes to hell. She hopes and prays for the salvation of all. In that case that you cite, if the parents were planning on baptizing the child and it died before that was carried out, we trust in God's mercy, and one could argue that baptism of desire may cover the situation. There is no such thing as going to heaven and not seeing God. Heaven, by definition is seeing God. I think the previous answerer is referring to limbo, which is NOT defined by the Church, but is conceived as a place of natural happiness without the sight of God.In the end, we can not know, but God is a God of mercy and compassion as well as justice, and we trust that He knows what He is doing a lot better than we can ever figure out.
