Why did so many different protestant churches develop after Martin Luther's posting of the 95 theses?

In March 2012, Wikipedia, quoting Christianity today, said that there were over 33,830 denominations. Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, only founded one Church, "His" Church, and put St. Peter and his successors at its head as His Vicars, and sent the Holy Spirit to guide it always until the end of the world. That is the Catholic Church, which has been here for 2,000 years because it is guaranteed, guided, and watched over by God, Himself. The protestant "churches" were everyone of them founded by men, are not guided by God, not guaranteed by God, and consequently have no guarantee of unity of anything. Disunity is always a sign that God is absent. From the very start there has been disunity and disagreement, and thus more and more splits, and the further they get away from God and His Church, the faster and more frequently they split and multiply.


What does the Patron of the Living mean.?

A Patron of the Living is someone who 'owns' the living or patronage of a church. In the past he/she had the right to appoint most church officials in their parish and most of all the actual vicar, which was often a way to give younger members of their families jobs. Nowadays the position is merely a title and has no meaning but some patrons still have a say in the choosing of future vicars.

Can a gay vicar marry people?

Yes they can - and I know this from experience as I am married to a vicar! In the Anglican Church both men and women can become vicars, and can get married. My wife has been a vicar in two parishes. Our latest parish also has a Methodist minister, who is female and married. In our first parish there was a Baptist minister - and he was married too. Most, if not all, Protestant churches allow their clergy to marry. The two main denominations that do not allow their clergy to marry are some parts of the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. However, in the RC church there are some campaigns to allow clergy to marry. In England this had a lot of publicity after the Church of England agreed to allow women to become priests (and hence vicars) with the first ordained in the 1990s. A small number of Church of England clergy, opposed to women's ministry, 'defected' to Rome, and, after retraining, became priests in the RC church. Many of these were already married with families (as they were former Church of England vicars) and were still allowed to practise within the RC Church. Many then felt that the celibacy of the priesthood had been breached once-and-for-all, and as there was no divine 'retribution' for such an act, a call for celibacy to be optional in the RC church was made. There have been no decisions either way as yet, but there are still a large number who believe that married RC priests would not only be acceptable but also beneficial to the church.

How do vicars help?

Vicars are typically ordained clergy who serve as spiritual leaders within the Anglican Church. They help by providing pastoral care and support to their parishioners, leading worship services, administering sacraments, and offering guidance on matters of faith and morality. Vicars also play a key role in building and nurturing their church community.


What is the difference between a temporary pastor and a permanent pastor?

Some churches have a pastor for three years only, they are called temporary pastors. But smaller churches have pastors serving for many years at that church only they are called permanent pastors.--Some very small churches have pastors that are assigned to a bigger church. These may be associate pastors in bigger local churches, and are assigned to these small churches, whereby they are under the supervision of a senior pastor, and gain experience in being a pastor in their own right. In many places these temporary pastors are called Vicars.
