What are the Egyptian Coptic Church's relations with Roman Catholic Church?
Yes. The Coptic Catholic Church broke away with the Coptic Orthodox Church to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. This occurred around 1741 under the direction of a Coptic bishop named Amba Athanasius. Athanasius converted to Catholicism with about 2,000 Coptics. Although Althanasius converted back to the Coptic Orthodox Church, most of the people remained and grew into what is now the Coptic Catholic Church. It's important to note that the Coptic Catholic Church is not an independent Church, but a rite under the Catholic Church. The differences between rites are purely cultural, NOT doctrinal. So even though different rites in the Catholic Church may celebrate mass a little differently, they all believe in the same teachings of the Catholic Church and remain loyal to the Pope.
The most widely observed religion in Europe is?
The majority of Europeans are Roman Catholics. The second largest religion practiced in Europe is Eastern Orthodoxy. Oriental Orthodoxy and Islam come in third and fourth. Even if all forms of protestantism are combined they would still come in below the number of Muslims. This is because Turkey and the Eastern Bloc are still considered to be part of Europe.
What religion is coptics?
Coptic Christianity is a Christian religion that originated in Egypt. It is one of the oldest Christian traditions in the world, with its own distinct liturgical practices and beliefs. Coptic Christians are an ethnoreligious group that follows the teachings of Jesus Christ as interpreted by the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Where did the tradition for the Coptic rite come from?
The Hospital
Is there a Saint Samuel?
There are two recognized St. Samuels, one by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches and also one by the Coptic Orthodox Church. Both were Egyptian Christians. The earleir St. Samuel was martyred in 309A.D. for being a Christian. He comforted other Christians working in the mines of Cilicia. This Samual is a Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Saint. The other St. Samuel is a Coptic Orthodox Saint born in the late 500s. He is known as Samuel the Confessor. A monastery in his name still exists in Egypt. Also, it is to be remembered that the prophet Samuel from the Old Testament is a recognized Saint of the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, for he was saved through Christ in his belief, actions, and yearning done for the Savior to come.
What do Russian orthodoxy and Islam have in common?
I would rephrase the question it is not Russian Orthodoxy, the more correct term would be Eastern Orthodoxy. Eastern Orthodxy is a direct representative of the church that was established by Jesus Christ himself. The actual name of the Orthodox Church is One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Catholic meaning Universal and Apostolic meaning directly passed from the Apostoles. Before the Whole Christian world used to be Orthodox their great division came in 1054 when Rome has split from the rest of the church. This is where we begin to look at the Roman Catholic Church as an independent body that is not part of One Holy Catholic and Apostolic church. To answer the question about what are the differences between Christianiy and Islam? There are too many differences the list could go on forever. I think it is more important to see what are the similarities. Islam teaches very similar things as christianity does. Muslims and Christians believe in ONE GOD but Muslims just do it in a different way. Christians see Jesus Christ as a man and God both natures in one. Muslims do not believe in God the man, just the Father Almighty. So in my opinion it is better to come together on one issue than to talk about the multiple differences that cause hatred and evil, which once again is not a part of Christianity or Islam.

Are Assyrians Eastern Catholics?
The Assyrian Church of the East is not in full communion with the Holy See and the Catholic Church, so the Assyrian Church of the East is not Catholic at all to begin with. However, some parishes that were once under the Assyrian Church of the East have since come into communion with the Chaldean Catholic Church and some of these Chaldean Catholic parishes kept Assyrian in their name, but they are still Chaldean Catholics. Chaldean Catholics are of the Chaldean Rite, which is an Eastern Rite in the Catholic Church, so they, Chaldean Catholics, are also Eastern Catholics. The only Assyrian Catholics are those Catholics that are of the Assyrian ethnic group.
Is Anglican church part of Eastern Orthodox Church?
The generally accepted date for the split between what is now called the Roman Catholic Church and what is now called the Eastern Orthodox Church is 1054 AD. The Anglican Church is generally considered to come from the time of King Henry VIII in the 1530s, although some would say that the Anglicanism originated in the Elizabethan Settlement of 1559, since Queen Mary effectively returned the Church of England to Roman Catholicism earlier in the 1550s. In any case, since the people who subsequently became Church of England were previously Roman Catholic, and not Eastern Orthodox, and since the Orthodox and the Catholics parted ways in 1054, you might say that the Anglicans broke away from the Roman Catholics, but it would be extremely difficult to say the Anglicans broke away from the Eastern Orthodox.
Is there any groups that have split from the orthodox church?
Yes, there are groups that split from the Eastern Orthodox Church. The so called "Nestorians," now known as the Church of the East, or the Assyrian Church of the East; the so-called "Monophysites," now known as the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Syrian Orthodox Church, The Malankara Church, the Ethiopian Tewahedo Church, the Coptic Church, and the Eritrean Orthodox Church; the Roman Catholic Church. All of these "splits" resulted in new organizations that have never reconciled completely with the Orthodox Churches. Also, splits more "within" the Orthodox Church that have been reconciled in some cases, and not in other cases (some small groups believe they they alone carry on the Orthodox Church, and that the current Orthodox Churches are no longer Orthodox) Old Rite or Old Believers, Old Calendarists (several different organizations), Catacomb Church in Russia (which is virtually extinct; new varieties seem to come into existence frequently). Nationalist driven splits-the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is the only large grop that insists on being on its own, while its Mother Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, does not sanction the unilateral declaration of "independence," as that is not how is has been traditionally done within the Church.
Was there Arab pope in church history?
It depends on what you mean. If you are asking whether there was ever a Catholic Pope in Rome who was Arab, the answer is No. With the exception of Pope Francis, all of the Popes throughout history have come from Europe. If you are asking about any pope at all, then many of the Coptic Popes in Alexandria have considered themselves Arabs.
Why did the split in the Roman Catholic Church become permanent?
I think perhaps you are asking about the Eastern Schism when most of the Eastern Rites split into two, half remaining Catholic, and half forming what is known as the Orthodox Church. . 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. The split is a long time running, but it cannot remain permanent, as Christ prophesized that all would come into the Catholic Church before the end of the world.
