What do ringing the bells denote at communion in the catholic church?

They are an audible alarm meant to draw your focus as to what is going on up on the Altar. They are sounded at the moment of transubstantiation when the bread becomes the Body of Christ and then later when the wine becomes the Blood of Christ. It is a serious (mortal) sin to deliberately be paying attention to something else when this is happening if you are in the Church. It is a lesser (venial) sin if you did so accidentally. Thus, the bells are a sort of a service for you to help you not sin.

Who formed anglicanism?
The Anglican Church has its roots in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. The Holy Ghost as much as anyone I should imagine! The Anglican Church is a Communion within the Catholic Church as is both Orthodoxy and Romanism! The name Anglican first appeared in 750 in Bede's History of Britain. It occured again in 1215 in the Magna Charter and was used during the middle ages to denote the Church during contact with Continental churches.

How did the Jewish Peter become a Catholic?
Roman Catholic answer:Peter became a Christian by believing in Jesus Christ, loving Him, following Him, and doing His will. "Catholic" is a term to denote the Christian church which was first used by St. Ignatius of Antioch. He was a young man during the time of the apostles and he took over as Bishop of Antioch when St. Peter went to Rome. The word "Catholic" is from the Greek literally meaning "regarding the whole", or simply "universal" or "general". He used it in regard to the Christian church in order to point out it's universal nature, how it grew in a very short period of time to cover the known world. By the time of St. Augustine in the fourth century, he says: "We must hold to the Christian religion and to communication in her Church, which is Catholic, and is called Catholic not only by her own members but even by all her enemies." "The very name of Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called Catholic, when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house."
What is the Catholic symbol?
Catholic AnswerIt'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. The Catholic Church has no "official" symbol, although I would suppose that a Crucifix is universally recognized as one. For instance, in military cemeteries in the United States, protestants have an empty cross on their graves, Jews have a Star of David, and Catholics have a Crucifix.
What is a Catholic Christian?
All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholics. Therefore a Catholic Christian would denote a Christian who belongs to a Catholic denomination of Christianity.A Christian is someone who is a follower of Jesus Christ: one who professes belief in Jesus as Christ or follows a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus. A Christian is a member of a Christian Church or denomination who might be Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Anglican, etc.Catholicism is a denomination, and is, therefore, a subset of Christianity. A Catholic is a member of any of the Churches regarded as Catholic, especially a Roman Catholic.

Roman CatholicAnglican Catholic Answer!A Roman Catholic in Henry's time was a member of the Suburbicarian Church of Italy.It was not then, or now, the Catholic Church.

Difference between Catholicism and Roman Catholicism?
There is no fundamental difference, but there are unaffiliated or splinter (Catholic) churches such as the PNCC ( Polish National Catholic Church) and the so-calledOld Catholic movement, which began in the Germanic countries ( Germany, Swiss, Netherlands) in the late nineteenth century as a counter-reactionto the dogma of Papal Infallibility. These churches consider themselves (Catholic) but are not received at Rome ( they had no role in the recent Papal election) Some of them have taken considerable liberties with Basic Doctrinal matters- for example the Polish Nationals have (invented) a Sacrament, the Word Of God, which covers the preaching, teaching and reading of the Bible as a form of Sacrament! To keep the sacramental total at 7, they combine Baptism and Confirmation into one rite. Please no jokes about (holy) Water (Baptism) and Oil (for confirmation) not mixing!.Catholic AnswerCatholicism is Christianity as established by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, on St. Peter (see Matthew 16:17-19), guaranteed by Him, and guided by the Holy Spirit. It has been led by Our Blessed Lord through St. Peter, or one of his successors to this day, and will be here until the end of the world. "Roman Catholicism" is a slur that was made up by the Anglican Church in England when the English protestant church decided that it wanted to be "Catholic" but just not under the Pope: 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. In other words, there really is no such thing as Roman Catholicism, although many Catholics, through ignorance of the term's history, use it to denote the Catholic Church.
