Yes A: NO. You will need to work that out with your parish priest and the pastor of the church (outside your parish) in which you do wish to be married. The general rule is that you must be a parishioners of your desired wedding church for at least 6 months. If, however, you are marrying out of state for some reason, you may be able to work that out.
You could be married in the groom's church. Parish Churches reserve wedding dates for their own parishioners. They really won't permit a non-parishioner to "take" a date that a parishioner may want.
Yes, yes you can.
An area of land (usually county-sized) that is supervised by a bishop is called a diocese. The most important church within a diocese where the Bishop's throne is situated (the 'cathedra') is called a cathedral. Any church within the same denomination and diocese is a 'diocesan church' in the sense that it belongs to that diocese. As an example, in an Anglican diocese, all Anglican churches are diocesan churches, but Methodist, Baptist, URC etc churches, even if they are within that diocese, are not.
St. Nicholas' staff is commonly known as a crozier. It is a symbolic pastoral staff used by bishops and other high-ranking religious figures in the Christian tradition.
St Paul's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral for the diocese of London and therefore is an Anglican church (Church of England) and not a Catholic Church. South of the River Thames is the second Anglican diocese in London, the diocese of Southwark, served by the Anglican cathedral called Southwark Cathedral. The Catholic cathedral in London is Westminster Cathedral - the cathedral church for the Catholic diocese of London. Do not confuse Westminster Cathedral, however, with Westminster Abbey. The latter is not a cathedral but something called a 'royal peculiar' - a church owned and administered directly by Her Majesty the Queen.
Every diocese in the Catholic Church is a particular Church and not subject to any higher authority (other than God, and His representative on earth - the Pope), so you would have to contact the diocese that you are concerned with and ask them if they have a nursing home, etc.
The bishop of the diocese, called the local ordinary, who is in obedience to the Pope.AnswerActually, most Christians, whether Protestant or Catholic, would affirm that members of the Church are not 'led' by the Pope or any human heirarchy, but by the Holy Spirit at work within the lives of those who put their trust in God.
You are already sacramentally married, but like any anniversary marriage, you can renew your vows at Mass just as if you were getting married again.
Individual dioceses own real estate. Also, religious orders own real estate..AnswerThat would depend entirely on the country you are residing in. In the United States, every piece of property in a diocese is owned by the Bishop of that diocese, as a corporate sole. So every parish Church, rectory, school, parish hall, convent, etc. are all in the name of the current living Bishop of that diocese. Other countries may have other accommodations, but that is how the Church in the United States found peaceful coexistence with the civil government possible.
No, one who is not in good standing with the Church cannot participate in any of the Sacraments of the Church - except Reconciliation (in order to get back in communion with the Church). It is also quite curious to think that someone who has abandoned the Church should like to be married in the Church - because to do so would be an acknowledgement that you are in agreement with Her Teachings.
Saint Callum is not a widely recognized figure in traditional hagiography or religious texts. It is possible that there may be individuals named Callum who are venerated as saints in certain localized or lesser-known religious traditions.
Usually no. It is best to check with the paster of the church to see if there are any special rules.
Jim Bob and Michelle were married in First Baptist Church, Springdale, Arkansas. They also renewed their vows here in 2009. Josh and Anna were married at Budford Grove Baptist Church in Hillard, Florida.
I don't know of any European nations which left the Church and then returned after the Council of Trent except the diocese of Geneva, which at that time was in France, it is now part of Switzerland. St. Francis de Sales was appointed Bishop of that diocese about two generations after the protestant revolt and all but a handful of people had left the Church for the protestant faith. St. Francis de Sales managed to reconvert the entire diocese, his books are still used today as a model of argument for true Christianity.
