The establishment of the Catholic Church dates back to Apostolic times. In Christian antiquity there were many Christian believers who adhered to all that the Apostles believed and taught - these were the Catholics. There were other Christian believers who dissented from this or that teaching or practice, whom the Catholics called heretics.

How can you and your husband convert to the Catholic Church if he has been married before in a Methodist church?

Talk to the priest at your local Catholic church about having your husband's first marriage annulled. While the Catholic Church does not recognise civil divorce, it does offer annulments where it believes the circumstances are justified. Since the Catholic Church regards marriage as a binding commitment, an annulment has the effect of saying that, in the view of the Church, the marriage never really happened.

What effect did Pope Clement V have on the Catholic Church?

Pope Clement V had a profound effect on the Catholic Church that was to last for centuries. Pope Clement V is the first of the Avignon popes-the first pope who set up resident in Avignon, France, and never set foot in Rome. The long term effect of the Avignon papacy was to weaken the influence of the Catholic Church and hasten that decline that resulted in the protestant revolt two centuries later.


What effect did the Roman Catholic Church have on society?

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. The Catholic Church served to preserve learning throughout the "Dark Ages." It also tended to provide some cohesion to the disparate European states as well as an important arbiter of political disagreements.
