Did the catholic church stifle medieval literature?
No, the Catholic Church did not really stifle medieval literature. There was a reason for this, which was that the literature during the middle ages was copied by hand or memorized, and the church could not really control individual writing literature easily prior to the invention of the printing press. The Catholic Church did stifle preaching, but that was a matter of something happening in public.
What does the Episcopalian religion worship?
The Episcopal Church, also known as the Church of England, or the Anglicans, worship God. They are mostly the same as the Catholic Church. The main difference is that they are not ruled by Rome but by England. Part of the reason for the split from the Catholic Church was over the marriage issue. Catholic priests cannot marry, but Episcopal priests can. In recent years, the Catholic Church has invited the Episcopal Church to merge with them, even offering to allow the Episcopal priests to remain married. Both denominations have been wrought with scandals and divisions in recent years, and Catholics saw such a proposition as a way to help rebuild.
What are Three similarities between Anglican and Methodist church?
There are many similarities between Catholic Churches and Church of England churches for the simple reason that all the original Church of England churches were Catholic Churches before they were stolen by King Henry VIII and appropriated for his new "church". They all contain an altar situated in a sanctuary, and a place for the people (called the nave). Many of them still contain a choir between the nave and the altar.

What Protestant doctrine threw out the authority of the Roman Catholic Church tradition?
AnswerThe Presbyterian Church of England!AnswerOr perhaps 95 Theses against the Catholic Church, written by Martin Luther, the founder of Lutheranism. One of the main differences between the Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic Church lies in the doctrine of forgiveness. Lutherans believe salvation and forgiveness are gifts from God that can't be earned, setting them apart from many Christian denominations.The reason Lutheranism is compared with Catholicism is that the Lutheran Church began as a reform movement within the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
10 points for why the Roman catholic church and church of England split?
There is no "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. Secondly, they did not split, the Church of England was created out of nothing by Henry VIII, parliament, and Elizabeth I of England in the sixteenth century. It was primarily created because of Henry's personal sin and greed. The pope at that time would not grant him an annulment, which is a declaration that his marriage was invalid, for the simple reason that it wasn't. Henry wanted his way, not God's way, so he formed his own personal Church that would cater to his whims. He used it as an excuse to beggar hundreds of cloistered nuns and monks and take their property and goods for himself and his nobles. Henry and Elizabeth used their personal Church as a sort of religious nationalism to bolster the English spirit and drive God out of their land.
Why were the puritans unhappy with the church of England?
The reason a "Puritan" was called a puritan is that they felt that the Anglican church didn't practice a pure religion. They wanted the inside of the church to be bare of decoration and the services to be very basic according to the bible.
Main reason why Roman and Catholic Church was split?
Ah, not sure what you are asking here. The "Roman" Church usually is the Anglican way of referring to the Catholic Church as the Pope, who is Christ's Vicar on earth, and thus head of the Catholic Church, is the Bishop of Rome. Thus if you are using "Roman Church" in that way, it is the same thing as the Catholic Church. If you are not using Roman to refer to the Catholic Church, then you will have to reword you question as I have no idea what you're talking about.
What reason did Martin Luther give for breaking away from the Catholic Church?
He wanted to reform it. But the church did not care to be reformed.
Was the royal wedding a Catholic wedding?
Royal wedding in England are not Catholic weddings although the Church of England is only one step away from Catholicism.AnswerNo the Royal Wedding was a Church of England service. Moreover, Prince William and Catherine chose the traditional Book of Common Prayer service (of 1662) rather than the more modern Common Worship service of 2000. In the UK, it is still against the law for an heir (or future heir) to the throne to marry a Catholic. This is for a simple reason in that the reigning monarch is the Supreme Governor under Christ of the Church of England. If a future heir to the throne like Prince William married a Catholic, the Catholic Church would insist that all children of that marriage, and hence future monarchs, were brought up as Catholics.Until the Catholic Church recognises full communion with Anglicans, it would be a nonsense for a Catholic monarch also to be head of a Church of England whose existence and authority is still not recognised officially by the Catholic heirarchy, and whose orders of clergy (deacons, priests and bishops) are still not recognised as valid orders (despite apostolic succession) by the Catholic Church.Furthermore, the Church of England isn't 'one step' away from Catholicism (as stated above). Despite sharing and celebrating Trinitarian doctrine, and the authority of scripture, the Church of England (apart from some minority groups within the Church) rejects the Catholic doctrines of purgatory, limbo, invocation of saints, the over-adulation of Mary (and non-Biblical doctrines surrounding her) and transubstantiation and the Catholic sacrificial theology of the mass, among other doctrines. Also, the whole of the Anglican Church rejects the authority of the pope. It sees these as man-made doctrines rather than doctrines supported and instituted by Christ.
