What was the major change Henry VIII made in England?
Anglican Catholic Answer!I should imagine it was the confiscation of the monastery wealth of all kinds. Whilst it made many rich, it also caused an economic crisis according to Gibson.AS far as the Catholic Church was concerned Henry took an enormous step, when he and the Anglican Church told the pope that the papacy was breaking the Law or Canons of the Church. Canons from the Seven Ecumemical Councils, or at least three of the major ones, defined quite clearly the place of the bishops in the Catholic Church. No bishop could infringe on the rights of another bishop without the permission of that bishop or Holy Tradition! This was a matter that had been debated for 3 or four hundred years in the western Church and some 1500 yrs in the Eastern Church. Now the English had taken sides and theirs was not a Protestant one, but an Orthodox Catholic One! The Anglican Church reverted to the Church of the first thousand years, before the break with Orthodoxy and the usurpation by William of Normandy!
Can Bill Donahue take over the Catholic Church?
I'm guessing that your asking if Bill Donahue can become The Pope of the Catholic Church. The short answer is no. The long answer: The Pope of the Catholic Church must first be an ordained a Priest of the Catholic Church. Becoming an ordained Priest is similar to becoming a doctor. Once your an ordained Priest, the next step is to become the leader of your local Parish. This position is called Monsignor. Most Catholic Priests that attain the position of Monsignor have spent the majority of their lives as Priests. Please note: The Catholic Church is not a Fortune 500 company. Priests don't aim to move to the next step in the Catholic Church. They're chosen for these positions, and many times they are more apt to reject these new positions than accept them. There are no financial raises here. All have vowed to poverty. After the position of Monsignor comes Bishop, than Archbishop and finally Cardinal. There are many years in-between these positions, and the vast majority of Priests who actually become Monsignor remain in that position indefinitely. Attaining the position of Cardinal would be loosely similar to being elected the President of the States. It's nearly impossible. Once a Catholic Priest becomes a Cardinal, he now must be unanimously chosen by the other Cardinals to become Pope. This will not happen until the current Pope passes away. I will safely say with absolute confidence that Bill Donohue has no chance to ever become The Pope of the Catholic Church.
What happens in Holy Orders?
Holy Orders is a sacrament in which a man becomes a deacon, priest, or bishop in the Roman Catholic Church. Through the laying on of hands by a bishop, the candidate receives the grace and authority to carry out sacred duties and serve the Church. Holy Orders confers a special sacramental character on the individual, marking them as a representative of Christ in the Church.
What are the steps to holy orders?
The steps to holy orders in the Catholic Church typically include discernment, formal application to the local bishop, acceptance into a seminary or religious community, completion of formation and academic studies, ordination as a deacon, transitional deacon, and finally ordination as a priest. Each step involves prayer, spiritual guidance, and a commitment to a life of service to the Church.
May Catholics have mixed marriages?
There is no prohibition which would impede the marriage of a Catholic to a person of another faith as long as: Both parties were free to marry; meet with a priest and fulfill all of the obligations required by any young Catholic couple who wish to be married in the Church. The only additional step would be to request a dispensation from the diocesan bishop, asking for his blessing upon the union

Is the Roman Catholic Church considered as corporation?
The Catholic Church must have a legal existence so it can operate under civil law. It requires an entity that can be served with civil suits and that can hold title to real property. For example, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston is termed a Corporation Sole, a legal entity that was created under Massachusetts law in 1897. Under Massachusetts law that entity has the legal ownership of assets under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop who is in office at any given time. In other geographic subdivisions a Bishop may have the powers of a Corporation Sole. The laws may vary from state to state but the Bishops generally have a "corporate" position to act for the Church in legal matters.The Church owns a vast amount of real property. Any deed of conveyance must be executed by the person in office. Any civil lawsuits are served on the same. In that respect the Church has a corporate presence.Additional AnswerHistorically speaking, the Catholic church was the frist premodern corporation (15th century), the East India Company was the first modern corporation (17th century). Timur Kuran writes: "Around 1000, as Islamic contract law was assuming the classic form that would remain essentially unchanged for the next millennium, the West was continuing to experiment, in uncoordinated fashion, with the corporate form of organization. A critical step in the development of the corporation was taken about two centuries later. Following the split of Christianity in 1054, and during the struggle to emancipate religion from the control of emperors, kings, and feudal lords (1075-1122), the Roman Catholic Church began calling itself a corporation. This struggle, considered to have culminated in the Papal Revolution, gave rise to the new canon law (jus novum) of the Catholic Church."
