Catholic AnswerBelow you will find a link to a website that lists dioceses in Illinois (as well as some other states - just scroll down till you get to Illinois). Find out which diocese you are in, and give the Chancery a call - the office for the whole diocese, and ask them your question. If there is a Church in the diocese that allows such a thing, they should be able to tell you.Wiki User

What is the meaning of the bishop during confirmation?
The Bishop is the authority in the Catholic Church. He, like Priests, Archbishops, and the Pope, represent Christ on earth. During Confirmation, the Bishop bears witness to the vows you are making as a young adult. Confirmation accepts you into the church as a full adult member, no longer a child.
What does it mean to be a Catholic in good standing and is this defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church or other official writings?
A person who is a faithful follower of Christ. One who accepts the authority of the Holy See, and follows God's law. The Catechism defines the law of the Church. In order to be "in good standing." You must follow God's law and live a good Christian life. This is pretty much all common sense, so if you have a more specific question, look it up in the good ol' CCC(Catechism). God be with you! GW
If you made your confirmation at an Episcopal Church and made a mistake could you be confirmed in a Catholic church?
Whether or not you made a 'mistake' in the Episcopal Church you would still need to be confirmed in a Catholic Church. Confirmation is an affirmation on your part that you accept the promises made at your baptism by your Godparents and do, in fact 'confirm' your status as a Catholic.

Are the sacraments the same in the Catholic and Anglican churches?
No. The Catholic Church recognises seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Marriage, and Holy Orders.Although the Anglican Communion practices rites that are similar to all seven of the Catholic sacraments listed above, it only considers two of them - Baptism and Holy Communion - to be sacraments.In addition, the Anglican Communion has different formulas and practices for each of these activities, so they are not recognised as Catholic sacraments. The Catholic Church does recognise Anglican baptisms, but requires Catholic confirmation for any Anglican wishing to accept communion in the Catholic Church.Answer (Yes and No)It is important to remember that within the Anglican Communion there are those who are 'high church' (close to Catholicism in belief) and those who are 'low church' (close to Protestantism in belief).Low church Anglicans say there are 2 sacraments. Those who are high church most certainly believe in the seven sacraments as celebrated within the Catholic Church. For example, the Church of Sweden and the Scottish Episcopal Church (both Anglican) are almost uniformly Catholic in belief, and their members would say that there are seven sacraments. There are many Anglican parishes throughout the world who believe the same, so there are millions of Anglicans who believe in seven sacraments.The one thing that all Anglicans have in common regarding the sacraments is that they regard Baptism and Eucharist as being the most important. Indeed, the Catholic Church also believes that Baptism and the Eucharist are the most important. In paragraph 1213 of the Catholic Catechism we read that Baptism ".....is the basis of the whole Christian life." and the Eucharist is "the sacrament of sacraments" (Catechism 1211) and even "..above all the sacraments" (Catechism 1374).The previous answer states that the Catholic Church recognises baptisms celebrated within the Anglican Communion, and this is true for Catholicism accepts the baptisms of all Christian denominations so long as water is poured over the head and the Trinitarian formula is used. However, the Catholic Church also recognises as being sacramental those marriages performed in Anglican churches (so long as neither party is Catholic). If an Anglican marriage breaks up and one of the parties wishes to marry in the Catholic Church a full annulment process is required, which would not be necessary if no sacrament existed. Finally, regarding ordination; if a member of the Anglican clergy becomes a Catholic and wishes to serve as a priest, Catholic ordination is normally done "conditionally" in case the Anglican priest was ordained by a bishop who has valid orders (this is possible due to the Old Catholic Church sharing in Anglican ordinations to the episcopate for many years).The Catholic church does not recognise the validity of Anglican orders - neither high church or low church. The sacrament of baptism can be carried out by any baptised Christian provided they use the trinitarian form (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using clean fresh water. It is not necessary (but is usually) carried out by clergy. Marriage is a commitment of 2 people to become one under God and could be considered to be self sacramental and blessed by the presiding clergy. Consequently, without validity of the clergy in the Anglican church as declared by Pope Leo xiii in 1896 they have no power/authority under God to administer the Sacraments.
Is marriage outside of the Church recognized by the Catholic Church?

What was the Catholic mission?
The same as it is today: the Catholic mission is to go out to all the world, proclaiming the Good News, and baptizing all nations; each Catholic accepts their part of this mission as bestowed on them by their baptism, and no one who neglects it should entertain a serious hope of the Beatific Vision.
Is the Church liberalist or literalist?
Roman Catholic AnswerI should think neither. Liberalist used refers to a political bent, and the Church has none. Literalist would usually refer to a reading of Sacred Scripture that only accepts the literal meaning. The Church definitely accepts the literal meaning, but it also accepts the spiritual, allegorical, moral, and anagogical senses of Sacred Scripture.
What are the differences form of baptism?
The Roman Catholic church accepts two broad classes of alternative to the sacrament of Baptism:- so-called Baptism by Desire, and Baptism by Blood.If you search carefully you may find earlier versions of the Catechism (especially in non-English languages) which refer to Baptism by Desire and Baptism by Blood as different forms of Baptism, but this terminology often led to confusion - these days the Church prefers to speak of them as alternatives to Baptism (Baptism by water).Mainstream Church doctrine does not accept any baptism before the Ministry of Our Lord as a valid sacrament (specifically the baptisms of John the Precursor are held to be different from true baptisms by the Council of Trent); a fuller treatment of the complex doctrinal reasoning surrounding pre-Christian baptism is offered in the New Advent Encyclopedia.
