tough question. But if you look at the society as it is today, and you feel that the society is well functioning, then the church must have done something right. Turd

How can you and your husband convert to the Catholic Church if he has been married before in a Methodist church?

Talk to the priest at your local Catholic church about having your husband's first marriage annulled. While the Catholic Church does not recognise civil divorce, it does offer annulments where it believes the circumstances are justified. Since the Catholic Church regards marriage as a binding commitment, an annulment has the effect of saying that, in the view of the Church, the marriage never really happened.


What effect did Pope Clement V have on the Catholic Church?

Pope Clement V had a profound effect on the Catholic Church that was to last for centuries. Pope Clement V is the first of the Avignon popes-the first pope who set up resident in Avignon, France, and never set foot in Rome. The long term effect of the Avignon papacy was to weaken the influence of the Catholic Church and hasten that decline that resulted in the protestant revolt two centuries later.

What effect did the Roman Catholic Church have on society?

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Catholic Church served to preserve learning throughout the "Dark Ages." It also tended to provide some cohesion to the disparate European states as well as an important arbiter of political disagreements.


How does Roman Catholic and Protestant religions effect each other?

First of all, Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. Secondly, your question makes no sense as neither was an effect of the other. Catholicism was effected by Our Blessed Lord establishing His Church on earth - His Mystical Body (see St. Paul). The protestant religions were an effect of sin on individuals unable to follow Christ's Church and so making up their own in order to live with their sins. Lutheranism was an effect of Martin Luther's, Anglicanism was an effect of King Henry VIII and his daughter, Elizabeth, etc.
