How did the foundation of the chruch of England differ from the development of the protestant religions?

Answer 1

The main difference is that the Church of England believes that Holy Communion is only a symbol, whereas the Roman Catholic Church believes that it is really Jesus present in the bread and the wine (which is turned into the Body and Blood). Another difference is that some Church of England vicars will allow remarriage, although, this depends on the vicar. The Roman Catholic Church will not offer remarriage and do not allow it.


As a church goer, I would dispute the above answer, Jesus is the bread and wine, just the same as the Catholic church. Other differences are that you can confess to sins in the RC church and be absolved, whatever you have done, you are not allowed to take contraception measures , or get divorced or have an abortion, and RC priests cannot marry. Just a few of the differences .

Answer 2

The Episcopal church or Church of England ( sometimes called High Church of England owing to formality of structures ( such as Westminster Abbey, etc) and the Episcopal church are the same. in past decades- Queen Elizabeth II had had personal audiences ( like political summits) with several Popes. I keep getting the idea that they ( Catholics and Episcopals) are planning some sort of link-up, rapprochement , or at least mutual tolerance band ( or Bund- llike theGerman use meaning federation- not a musical band!) This would be both good and bad. there is a Low church which has Ministers- and a High which has Priests, Bishops, and most of the Pomp of Pageantry of Rome. The Episcopals and Catholics have many points in common but the C.O.E. ( not the Corps of Engineers, also so-labeled) tolerates divorce and has different slants on some other vices and problems. a llink up is , well remotely possible.

Answer 3

Henry VIII wanted to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, so he needed to split away from Catholicism and form his own religion.
