What were the results in Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn marriage?
Elizabeth I and the separation of England from the Catholic Church Very Good, apart from the fact that England didn't separate from the Catholic Church! The separation of England was from the body that derived from the Council of Trent [1564]. This came about as a result of political adventures in England, [ The pope wanting to remove the Queen,] in which the papacy had no right to be taking part! The results of the altercation between Pope and King resulted in the English Church taking the part of the early church in an ongoing argument between Church and pope. Where did authority stem from, Rome or Scripture and tradition. For England it was the latter!

Social Changes In Europe.
What Protestant doctrine threw out the authority of the Roman Catholic Church tradition?
AnswerThe Presbyterian Church of England!AnswerOr perhaps 95 Theses against the Catholic Church, written by Martin Luther, the founder of Lutheranism. One of the main differences between the Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic Church lies in the doctrine of forgiveness. Lutherans believe salvation and forgiveness are gifts from God that can't be earned, setting them apart from many Christian denominations.The reason Lutheranism is compared with Catholicism is that the Lutheran Church began as a reform movement within the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

Was the royal wedding a Catholic wedding?
Royal wedding in England are not Catholic weddings although the Church of England is only one step away from Catholicism.AnswerNo the Royal Wedding was a Church of England service. Moreover, Prince William and Catherine chose the traditional Book of Common Prayer service (of 1662) rather than the more modern Common Worship service of 2000. In the UK, it is still against the law for an heir (or future heir) to the throne to marry a Catholic. This is for a simple reason in that the reigning monarch is the Supreme Governor under Christ of the Church of England. If a future heir to the throne like Prince William married a Catholic, the Catholic Church would insist that all children of that marriage, and hence future monarchs, were brought up as Catholics.Until the Catholic Church recognises full communion with Anglicans, it would be a nonsense for a Catholic monarch also to be head of a Church of England whose existence and authority is still not recognised officially by the Catholic heirarchy, and whose orders of clergy (deacons, priests and bishops) are still not recognised as valid orders (despite apostolic succession) by the Catholic Church.Furthermore, the Church of England isn't 'one step' away from Catholicism (as stated above). Despite sharing and celebrating Trinitarian doctrine, and the authority of scripture, the Church of England (apart from some minority groups within the Church) rejects the Catholic doctrines of purgatory, limbo, invocation of saints, the over-adulation of Mary (and non-Biblical doctrines surrounding her) and transubstantiation and the Catholic sacrificial theology of the mass, among other doctrines. Also, the whole of the Anglican Church rejects the authority of the pope. It sees these as man-made doctrines rather than doctrines supported and instituted by Christ.
Most English people belonged to the Church of England a Catholic Church true or false?
No. The majority of people in England profess a belief in God - around 70% or more at the last count. However, of these only a small percentage are actually practising Christians who go to church weekly or more often. More attend church at special festivals like Easter and Christmas, and the vast majority of children are expected to attend a daily act of worship in state schools. Of those who attend church, the vast majority attend the Church of England, which is the official Church in the country. The Church of England is one of many Anglican churches worldwide which include the Church in Wales, The Episcopal church of Scotland and the Episcopalians in the USA. The Church of England is a mainstream denomination which is Bible-based, has deacons, priests and bishops, and similar services to the Roman Catholic Church, although the Catholic mass is called ''Holy Communion' or 'The Eucharist' in the Church of England, and in the Church of England there are different beliefs regarding what happens at the mass. In addition to this the Church of England rejects Catholic doctrines such as purgatory, veneration and praying to Saints, veneration of Mary and so on, as they are not scripturally based and therefore the church believes they are wrong. Also, the Church of England clergy can marry unlike Catholic priests. There is a more 'Catholic' wing of the Church of England (known as 'Anglocatholics') but these numbers are very small - the vast majority of Church of England churches being more 'middle of the road' or evangelical. In addition to the Church of England there are a large number of other protestant denominations - all within the Christian religion. These include Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals, United Reformed, Congregationalists, Society of Friends (Quakers) and the Salvation Army. There are also many ''Free Churches' - individual Christian Churches who are not memers of any particular denomination. Most of these tend to be evangelical and Bible-based. Therefore, only a very small percentage of the population are Roman Catholics, and these small numbers tend to be concentrated in certain areas, such as the western ports like Liverpool (which has a large population of Irish - a Catholic Country - immigrants) and large cities again with immigrant populations from Catholic countries in Europe. Apart from Christianity, as England (and the whole of the UK) is a multiculural country made up of people from many different backgrounds, (like the USA) there are significant numbers of other religions too, especially Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism, and, for the most part, these ethnic groups have integrated well into the culture of thhe country - so much that in many large cities there could be several Christian churches of different denominations, a mosque and a synagogue all on the same street, the members of which all get on well. Another answer I'm English, and I'm not religious, but I think that Christianity is the main religion in England.

Did everybody have to be apart of the church of England in colonial times?

What is the difference between romaan Catholic and Catholic?
Well, "catholic" spelled with a lower-case "c", is a word meaning, "all-inclusive". It is not necessarily a religious word, at all. Roman Catholic is a Christian religion, and the word, "Catholic" is a religious word meaning, "all-inclusive" or "available to all". There are 2 Catholic churches. The church in Roman-held areas was a rival to the church in areas of what is now Turkey. The head of that church was in Byzantium. Eventually, the 2 church group broke apart, one being called the Roman Catholic church, and the other being called the Byzantine Catholic church. The Byzantine Catholic church is today better know as the Greek Orthodox church and Russian Orthodox church. Thus church follows the old, old practices that the Roman Catholic church has abandoned or altered over the years.
