What does selling indulges mean to the Catholic church?
It is an illegal practice of the Catholic church to be paid for forgiving someone who has sinned. What it means to the church is that I am assuming they will be all the richer for having gained part of their riches in such a sinfull manner.
Is the Catholic Church richer than the US?
Let's put it this way, both the Vatican and the U.S. government have been in deficit spending the last few years. Neither is 'rich' so to speak. However, the U.S. is in far worse shape that the Vatican.
What caused the irreparable rift between the pope and Henry viii?

How do Catholic and protestant churches differ in decoration?
The difference between Protestant and Catholic Church decoration is great and varied and I should liken it to the difference between a donut and a French Gateaux. One is simple and the other is quite complex; each one reflecting the Theology that prevails in the institution. This is reflected in all aspects of the building; so, the richer the Tradition more elaborate the building.
What do Anglicans believe about life after death?
I think that the traditional Anglicans believe that the afterlife is much like what the Christians believe that there is a heaven and you are accepted into it as long as you have not done any harm to anyone or anything and that you truly believe you deserve to go to heaven. There's always second chances! live life to the fullest and love all! god is all around you in the tree's, sun , and life is the most prize possession :)
What did King Henry VIII contribute?
i think his contribution was something like he was the first person to have six wives.Anglican Catholic Answer!Henry's contribution? In many ways it is hard to assess ? To the poor who suffered from the economic decline he created it must have been enormous, to all those who became rich or even richer, he must have been a blessing from God, but for those thousands of Anglicans who turned out to defend the monasteries in the Pilgrimage of Grace, he was the devil incarnate! One thing Henry never gave up on, or surrendered was his authority or privilege!But he made a contribution that is never acknowledged, at least I have never seen it mentioned, other than an odd comment. He and the English Church told the Pope that he had no authority in another bishop's see. This is true, it had caused the Orthodox to leave the Church, [1054,] this papal breaking of the rules, or canons. When HENRY, FOR WHATEVER REASON faced him with the truth, it must have caused the pope an enormous shock. Later when the pope called a Council at Trent,[ 1545,] to salvage something, he didn't invite English Bishops and thus, when the Roman Bishops added to the Deposit of faith, the English were lucky enough not to follow them in to heresy!
Was the Catholic Church wealthy in 1500?
Another answer from our community:As the Body of Christ, the Church is spiritually wealthy, as She is in possession of Jesus. In material possessions (land, buildings, etc.) one could certainly say that She is rich. In actual income, She is probably the poorest run "business" on the planet. For one thing She builds for ages, when a church is built, it is not just for the current generation but for all the generations that will follow. The Vatican, itself, is thousands of years old, most of the current buildings were built hundreds of years ago. Of course, She is rich, in faith, in people, in everything that really matters for eternity. As far as income is concerned, the church never has enough to meet all its essential needs and necessary work. The Catholic Church annually spends billions on Her many works to help men's temporal welfare, and is hard put to provide for her thousands of missionaries..

Why can't Protestants have Catholic communion?
Catholics believe in transubstantiation which is the belief that when a Catholic priest pronounces the words of consecration in the Mass, the bread and wine substantial transform into the real Body and Blood of Christ. Catholics cite the Last Supper as the origin of this practice when Christ said while holding the bread "This is my body, do this remembrance of me". Protestants believe that Christ is speaking figuratively and symbolically whereas Catholics take it literally.
How did the church help the poor in the middle ages?
The church got wealthy during the middle ages because people were so afraid of going to hell. People paid their offering to church because the church told them they would go to hell if they didn't.
