What are the attitudes of German commoners to the Roman Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerFor the most part, love; the love that any child has for its mother. The poor Germans who were deprived of their Church by their leaders who followed Martin Luther away from the Church in search of personal power and riches are to be pitied as they had little choice, and not enough gumption to fight their overlords.

What caused many Europeans to break away from the Catholic Church?
In most of the cases, they broke away from the Catholic Church because their princes left them no choice. Of course, there is *always* a choice as shown by the martyrs and saints in England who went through hell to remain loyal to the Catholic Church. However, it just goes to show that with most people their religion doesn't go down very far.
Why did people support Henry Vlll from breaking away from the Catholic Church?
There were people throughout Europe who were beginning to question some of the abuses of power and wealth in the Roman Catholic Church, and there were important thinkers like Martin Luther who were also questioning the theology and religious practices of Rome. There were many in England who opposed the reforms that Henry started to bring into the church in England, many of whom paid with their lives.
Can a Catholic single mother have her baby baptized in the Catholic Church?
YES! The Catholic Church would NEVER refuse an innocent child that wishes to become a child of God! Sometimes a priest may DELAY (NEVER deny) a baptism if there is concern about the child being raised in the Catholic faith, but that should not be the case if the mother is Catholic.
Why does a Catholic church have to be named after a saint?
It doesn't have to be but it is tradition to name a Catholic Church after a saint, because of the good things Saints have done, and this means the Church's name reflects the good which the saint did in their life.
If a none Catholic marries a roman Catholic in her church is his children have to be Catholic?
The choice of religious upbringing is entirly up to the parents. Children can shift their church of preference when they are in their late teens. ANSWER Well YES because the Catholic has an obligation to raise his/her children in the Catholic Faith and practice that faith himself/herself. Where a Catholic chooses to marry does not negate his/her obligation. However, a Catholic may not marry a non-Catholic in a non-Catholic church/ceremony. A priest would at least need to be present and also administer the vows. Otherwise, there is a question as to whether The Church would accept such a marriage as a Sacramental Marriage. Would need to consult RCC Canon Law re: this matter for the exact answer.
Why was Mary the first a catholic?
Mary was not the first Catholic. She was only personified as the mother of Christ. No church can say of a deceased person let us make them a Catholic or C of E. That would have to be the individuals choice.

Can Catholic marry an Orthodox in the Catholic Church?
Yes, it is his/her free choice to select the faith that me/she is convinced in. It is one of human rights to believe in the faith that he/she is convinced in..Catholic AnswerTechnically, the Orthodox religion is in schism with the Catholic Church, so, although this would not be apostasy (which is giving up the Christian faith altogether), it will still be giving up the fullness of the Christian faith in union with the Pope. However, there is no need to do this, when the Orthodox left the Church, each Rite broke in two, thus there is a Uniate Rite for each Orthodox Church. Thus the Greek Uniate Church is still in communion with Rome, and a person may obtain permission to change their Rite or they may just attend Mass at another Rite.
How did the Anglican church came into being?
The Anglican started in the Holy Roman Empire. EDIT: No it didn't. Anglicanism started when an English King (Henry VIII) wanted to devorce his wife and the Catholic Church would not allow it. Henry made the choice to found the Church of England (Anglicanism) so he could devorce. Natrually their was already huge unhappiness in England with the Roman Catholic church and the motion to seperate from the Catholic church was very alive. Henry VIII just did what was otherwise already inevitable.
