Who was banned by the Catholic Church?

Roman Catholic AnswerI'm not real sure what you mean by this question. Banned from what? The only individual I know that has been banned by the Catholic Church is Satan and the other devils. When a Church is consecrated there is an elaborate ceremony in which the building is exorcised and blessed.


Could kings in England do little things without the support of the Roman Catholic Church?

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. I am assuming that you are asking if they could enact any laws, even minor ones without the support of the Church? It would depend on exactly what you mean by the support of the Church. For many centuries, everyone is England was Catholic, not just the King, but his advisers, his Parliament, his subjects, etc. Looking at it in this light, every single one of them was ruled by their conscience, which, more than likely, was educated by Christian principals, thus anything the King did would have been in response to his conscience. Also, remember that the Bishops all sat in the House of Lords, and thus had a say in the government, a much heavier vote than Lords have nowadays. On the other hand, the Church never had a direct say in government by the King, short of excommunicating him for something very serious, and that would hardly be "a little thing".


What do you mean by the Medieval Church?

The term Medieval Church could be construed to apply to the Christian religion. It could also apply to a church organization dominating a given area. So the Church of Rome dominated the Roman Empire of the fifth century, The Eastern Orthodox dominated the eastern parts of Christian Europe after the Great Schism of 1054, just as the Roman Catholic Church dominate the West, and each of these might be referred to as the Church in those areas.

No.AnswerIf you mean 'catholic' with a small 'c', then yes. the word 'catholic' simply means 'universal' and so the Protestant Church is part of the universal Christian Church worldwide. If you mean 'Catholic' with a large 'C' - this usually refers to the Roman Catholic Church and, though the Protestant Church is part of the catholic (universal) church, it is not part of the Catholic (Roman Cattholic) church as this is a separate denomination.

Why do Anglicans still say in their creed that they believe in the catholic church?

When they say in the Apostles creed "I believe in the holy Catholic church" they don't mean the Roman Catholic church, which is odd in that the Roman (Latin rite) Catholic church is the TRUE church. If they were to say the Nicene creed which goes.....I believein one holy Catholic and apostolic church....they would have a problem in that they are not apostolic, that is not ordained directly in line from the apostles which catholic priests are. Realising this the Anglicans have changed the definition of Apostolic to mean following the gospel message(s) as originally preached by the apostles. In short Anglicans (low church, liberal church and hight church) are really protestants pretending to be Catholics.
