Best Answer

A devout Catholic is typically someone who goes to church at least once per week, prays regularly, goes to confession regularly, generally follows the moral teachings of the church, and by their example encourages other Catholics to do so as well. However, anyone who is baptized by a Catholic priest is considered by the Church to be Catholic whether or not they do any of those things. I know many Catholics personally who attend services at Episcopal, Lutheran, and various other Christian churches, or who do not go to church at all, and they are all still considered by the Catholic Church to be Catholic.

Differences between the catholic church and Henry's church of England?

1) Catholics pray in Latin, whereas Henry decreed that everyone should be able to pray in their native language. He thought learning a dead language for prayer was silly. 2) Henry was already the head of state/government and when he started the Church of England he made himself the head of the church as well. This was a huge issue for a lot of devout Catholics, who believed that only the Pope could be the head of the church, as he was placed their by God. As far as many devout Catholics were concerned, it was blasphemy.
