Are you a Catholic if you join the Anglo Catholic church?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, "high Church Anglicans" regard themselves as Catholic and they, and various breakaway religions from them, regard themselves as Anglo-Catholic. But they are in no way Catholic and do not have valid Orders (they do not have a valid priesthood). Joining an Anglo-Catholic Church is basically committing apostasy and endangering your immortal soul. Please discuss this with your confessor, spiritual director, or parish priest as this is very serious.
What is the name of the church that has a special regard for Mary the Mother of God?
Both the Catholic and the Orthodox Churches hold Mary in high regard.
When did the name Roman Catholic Church first appear?
A:The term 'Roman Catholic Church' appears to have been used from the time of the Great Schism of 1054. Some modern Catholics regard the term as pejorative, preferring simply 'Catholic Church', but the fuller term is widely used within the Church itself and by its clerics and theologians.
Who can contradict the pope?
God Christ's teaching in Scripture. Compare Scripture to the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" e.g. in regard to the Kingdom of Heaven.
What are some characteristics of the Anglican church?
Anglicans do not recognise the Pope as the Head of the Church. Most do not accept the transubstantiation of the bread and wine at the mass (Holy Communion) into the actual body and blood of Christ, but regard them as symbolic instead. Anglicans on the whole do not pray to saints, do not regard the Virgin Mary with the same veneration as Catholics, do not require their priests to be celibate, do not believe in the non-scriptural ideas of purgatory or limbo. In the Anglican Church, any visitor who would normally receive Holy Communion in a different church (whether or not it is Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, URC or whatever) are welcome to receive the bread and wine in an Anglican church. In a Catholic Church, one must be a Catholic if one is to be invited to receive. In an Anglican church all receive the bread and wine; in a Catholic Church only the bread is normally received by the members of the congregation.

Is Protestant a Catholic?
At first glance many people think a Catholic Protestant is a contadiction in terms. However there are Protestant (or Reformed) people and churches that identify as Catholic but not Roman Catholic. Catholic means 'universal' or 'general', so some Protestants regard themselves as catholic in the sense of being part of the universal church of Christ. There is also an Anglican church not centred on the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Anglican Communion called the Anglican Catholic Church. The Anglican Communion itself points out that a Catholic that follows the Bishop of Rome (usually called the Pope) is a Roman Catholic where-as they identify as Anglican Catholic. To quote the Anglican Church of Ireland website:"The Church of Ireland is Catholic because it is in possession of a continuous tradition of faith and practice, based on Scripture and early traditions, enshrined in the Catholic Creeds, together with the sacraments and apostolic ministry.".Catholic AnswerA Catholic Protestant remains an oxymoron as there is only one Catholic Church - by Our Blessed Lord's own definition - and a protestant, by definition, is someone whose religion is protesting the Catholic Church. Redefining terms and saying that all truth is relative helps no one, and doesn't make any sense anyway.

Does the Catholic Church believe in equality?
Regarding the Roman Catholic Church, official church teaching points to the total and complete equality in dignity of all human beings.In practise, there are probably pockets of Catholics and heirarchy who do not believe in or carry this out, but it is official teaching.On the other hand, church policy excludes women from the fullness of the sacraments -- specifically Holy Orders. So in essence, church policy violates church teaching with regard to the sacraments.
Are Roman Catholics matriarchal?
First of all, it's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. Secondly, no, Catholicism was founded by Our Blessed Lord on St. Peter, with the other apostles. Although women are held in extremely high regard, no one, outside of Our Blessed Lord, Himself, fulfilled His Will better than His Mother. Nevertheless, Our Blessed Lord formed a Church as His Bride, and His Bishops are all men, as they represent Him, and He came as a male.
How is the Catholic Church involved with Christian denominations?
.Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church looks on our separated brethren with love and concern. All of those who are validly baptized are Christians, and we are responsible for them as our brothers in Christ. The primary effort of the Church with regard to these separated brethren is the ecumenical movement which is the Church's effort to return them to the Church and help ensure their salvation. Many of the efforts by the Second Vatican Council were aimed at reuniting Christians into the Church. The Church has made a lot of headway with specific denominations, such as the Lutherans, and the reunion of those who are Catholic in that they still have valid sacraments and clergy, such as the Orthodox, the Old Catholics, the Polish National Catholics, and the Society of St. Pius X are dear the the heart of the Church.
What is the Catholic view on whaling?
Catholic AnswerAlthough different Catholics may have different views on whaling, I can find no official Church teachings regarding these, and I would sincerely doubt that there would be any. The Church has always had a regard for the environment, but all beings, including whales, are subject to man in the order created by God.
