What church did King Henry VIII help found?
Anglican ChurchAnglican Catholic Answer!No one created the Anglican Church; it is a manifestation, or showing forth, of the Body of Christ here on earth. What Henry VIII did was to regulate the temporal aspects of the Church, not its spiritual function.What Henry did do was to see to the temporal affairs of the Church. If we look at his quarrel with the pope, we see clearly that the argument was about money and the pope's political adventures andabuses. Henry was Chief Magistrate of the Church of England and he took his job seriously.
What was the Catholic Church's response to Martin Luther?
The Catholic Church condemned Martin Luther as a heretic, excommunicated him from the Church and refuted those of his writings that were against the Faith. Ultimately, however, Martin Luther was a symptom to a much larger problem, for had it not been Luther, it would have been someone else. Had Luther not struck at the time he had, he would have just been another heresiarch, but the world was festering at the time, rulers were looking for political leverage to oust the Church, the printing press gave immeasurable power for those that applied its ability to replicate tracts, and a new class of society was looking to firmly establish itself where it could.At the time, Europe had for a while been influenced by Humanism as well as an emerging middle class that was constantly struggling to forge its own place in the disintegrating feudal system. As the roads became safer and trade and travel increased, many old Greek and Roman texts reemerged from the monasteries and education geared up. Crusaders also brought back from the Holy Land many ancient parchments and works that the Muslims had already recovered and were studying themselves. The culmination of all this change and emergence was the Renaissance. Things began to change and progress so fast that the Church, which always worked very slowly, soon fell behind in addressing those issues that had come to light, both abuses and needs. Many make the sale of indulgences as the big issue, when in fact, it was mostly done by unscrupulous pardoners or slyly promoted by a handful of greedy Church officials and so was a rather petty thing. There were much more pressing matters, such as the relation of the Church to emerging nationalism and the immense political pressures that were surfacing, the threat of the invading Muslims, the loosening of the rubrics, multiplication of religious orders and devotions, challenges of humanistic philosophy against the theology of the Church, etc. The emerging Middle Class brought with it a rebellious streak that saw the desire for power without nobility, wealth without titles, education without responsibility and philosophy without theology. The entire social order was quaking and in the centuries ahead would finally end with revolutions in most every country.In this time the Church began what has been called the "Counter-Reformation" in order to reinforce the Church and bolster the faithful against the rampant errors and rebellious ideologies that were so popular. The pinnacle of this movement was the Council of Trent, which blasted the errors, streamlined Church doctrine, the sacraments, further defined things to proof them against heresy and boldly set forth a direction for the Church to follow. As a result the Catholic heart of Europe ultimately survived the rippling Protestant revolt, though several nations and the northern regions proved highly susceptible. The Renaissance became harnessed by the Church in order to produce the height of Church architecture, music, art and theological studies and schools became defined and precise. The modern spirit, however, was deep set and there to stay and the Church has been battling with it ever since..Catholic AnswerThe Church's response to Martin Luther, the protestant revolt, and his leading people away from salvation is called the Counter-Reformation by scholars: fromModern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980A period of Catholic revival from 1522 to about 1648, better know as the Catholic Reform. It was an effort to stem the tide of Protestantism by genuine reform within the Catholic Church. There were political movements pressured by civil rules, and ecclesiastical movements carried out by churchmen in an attempt to restore genuine Catholic life by establishing new religious orders such as the Society of Jesus and restoring old orders to their original observances, such as the Carmelites under St. Teresa of Avila (1515-98). The main factors responsible for the Counter Reformation, however, were the papacy and the council of Trent (1545-63). Among church leaders St. Charles Borromeo (1538-84), Archbishop of Milan, enforced the reforms decreed by the council, and St. Francis de Sales of Geneva (1567-1622) spent his best energies in restoring genuine Catholic doctrine and piety. Among civil rulers sponsoring the needed reform were Philip II of Spain (1527-98) and Mary Tudor (1516-58), his wife, in England. Unfortunately this aspect of the reformation led to embitterment between England and Scotland, England and Spain, Poland and Sweden, and to almost two centuries of religious wars. As a result of the Counter Reformation, the Catholic Church became stronger in her institutional structure, more dedicated to the work of evangelization, and more influential in world affairs.
What is the Arabs' holy building?
Arab is a race, not a religion. Arabs can be of whatever religion they choose. If they are Christian, they attend a church. If they are Muslim, they attend a mosque. So on and so forth.
Why was the Roman Catholic Church started?
The Roman Catholic Church is the current name of the church Christ founded. The word Catholic ("universal") was first recorded by St. Ignatius of Antioch in 110 A.D.: "Let no one do anything of concern to the Church without the bishop. Let that be considered a valid Eucharist which is celebrated by the bishop or by one whom he ordains [i.e., a presbyter]. Wherever the bishop appears, let the people be there; just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church" (Letter to the Smyrneans 8:2 [A.D. 110]). Before this time it was simply "The Church". All other existing churches were separate creations that were started apart from the Roman Catholic Church, and each one has it's own distinct human leader. The Roman Catholic Church's apostolic succession dates back to Peter with 265 successors down to Benedict XVI. It is Roman because it was began it's centered in Rome when Peter and Paul traveled there and were later Martyred there. It was also started during the Roman Empire. == Answer == Because it was God's will that his word be spread and that it should grow to reach many. I believe Jesus once described the Kingdom of Heaven as that of a mustard seed which is a small seed but grows to a plant of a large size with many branches..Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic faith emanated from God from the beginning of time, and was established on earth definitively from the side of Jesus Christ on the cross outside of Jerusalem when He side was pierced by a spear, around 33 A.D.. Then it was shown to the world at Pentecost with the coming of the Holy Spirit, fifty-three days later. It was Our Blessed Lord's way of preaching to all people throughout the world throughout time, and it has spread from the first century, before that century was over, into most of the known world, at that time, and has been continued for twenty centuries. .fromThe Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994766The Church is born primarily of Christ's total self-giving for our salvation, anticipated in the institution of the Eucharist and fulfilled on the cross. "The origin and growth of the church are symbolized by the blood and water which flowed from the open side of Christ as he slept the sleep of death upon the cross that there came forth the 'wondrous sacrament of the whole Church.'" Sacrosanctum concilium 5) As Eve was formed from the sleeping Adam's side, so the church was born from the pierced heart of Christ hanging dead on the cross. (Cf. St. Ambrose, In Luc. 2, 85-89: J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855} 15, 1666-1668)767"When the work which the Father gave the Son to do on earth was accomplished, the Holy Spirit was sent on the day of Pentecost in order that he might continually sanctify the Church." (Lumen gentium 4; cf. Jn 17:4) The "the Church was openly displayed to the crowds and the spread of the gospel among the nations, through preaching, was begun." (Ad gentes 4) As the "convocation" of all men for salvation, the Church in her very nature is missionary, sent by Christ to all the nations to make disciples of them. (Cf. Mt 28:19-20; Ad gentes 2; 5-6)
The Council of Trent was held amid chaos created by the Reformation and Counter-Reformation movements. Who set forth reforms for the Catholic Church at the Council?

How did the Council of Trent stop reformation?
The Council of Trent addressed many of the criticisms of the Catholic Church brought forth during the Protestant Reformation. It reaffirmed Catholic doctrine and practices, clarified areas of dispute, and implemented reforms to strengthen the Church. By doing so, the council helped to solidify the Catholic Church's position and slow the spread of the Protestant movement.
What arguments does the church put forth for not having comtemporary music?

What inventions do the catholic church have credit?
I think Jesus Christ has got that one locked up, but he did leave his apostle St. Peter to actually found the Catholic Church. The actually beliefs, holy days, etc. were set forth at the Council of Nicaea in 594 AD. <><><><> This may sound bad but the catholic church is known for the invention and use of ingenious torture devices that were used in the past during the dark age.
What were 3 major strategies used by the Catholic Church during the Counter-Reformation?

What was the purpose of the Second Vatican Council?
The Second Vatican Council (otherwise known as Vatican II) was a pastoral council, convened in order to update and review the disciplines, policies and attitude of the Catholic Church vis-a-via the modern world. Many documents were drafted and voted on in this Council that had a very progressive flavor that ultimately caused a rift among the Council fathers as Conservatives fought to organize and resist the changes. What came out of this was a series of vague documents that both sides could effectively interpret. After Vatican II, the liberal forces having triumphed, the progressive view was adopted which led to the liturgical reforms that brought forth the modern Novus Ordo Missa or New Mass as well as the attitudes towards liturgy in general in its conduct, literature, prayers, architecture and ecumenism. The Council made no dogmatic definitions nor did it declare itself a full ecumenical council versus just a pastoral one. Traditionalists that continue to resist the effects of Vatican II point to this as their justification for rejecting outright or resisting the modern changes. An excellent and remarkably objective book on the Council is "The Rhine Flows into the Tiber" by Ralph M. Wiltgen, who was a journalist covering it at the time.
What the difference between catholic church and Anglican?
There isn't one! The Anglican Church is the manifestation or showing forth of a Catholic Communion within the Body of Christ! A part of the whole!Or should I have asked which of the two separate and distinctive One True Catholic Church were you referring to?Roman Catholic AnswerAlthough classically the Anglican faith looks a lot like Catholicism, there is a vast difference. Catholicism is the church founded by Our Blessed Savior when He sent the Holy Spirit on the Apostles at Pentecost and prayed that they would be one. The Anglican church, as it was up until 30-40 years ago was founded by Elizabeth I as a compromise with the Protestants and the Catholics in her realm. The difference is one of authority, with the Catholic Church cleaving to the authority of Christ as manifested through Scripture and the Sacred Tradition, and interpreted by His Vicar on earth. The final authority in the Anglican Church rests between their bishops and the King or Queen of England.
What are the truth we say we believe when we say the apostles creed?
The Apostle's Creed specifically states that one believes in God, Jesus the Christ, the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, and the communion of saints. Caution: catholic with a lower-case 'c' means "all-encompassing", while Catholic with a capital 'C' refers to a specific denomination, like Roman Catholic, Byzantine Catholic, and so forth.
How would the Roman Catholic Church view a marriage between a practicing Catholic and a Mormon?
Marriage between a Catholic and non Catholic will be challenging. How challenging will depend of the beliefs of the non Catholic. Catholics MUST be married in the Catholic Church and MUST raise their children as Catholics. This can meet with resistence from the non Catholic partner. This obligation is NOT open for negotiation. =The love for GOD and His Church is priority. Nothing is more important than our Catholic faith and our love for God. If the non Catholic agrees to the terms set forth by the Church, then a marriage can take place. If not, then the Catholic must NOT marry this person. ==We are called to live our lives in a way that will lead us to heaven. If the love for another person causes us to renounce our Catholic faith, then we are choosing a human person over GOD. This cannot be! It is very painful, but we must remember that earth is temporary. Heaven is FOREVER! ==I am not saying that non Catholics are less loved or will not go to heaven. I am saying that Catholics believe the Catholic Church holds the FULLNESS of truth revealed. If one who KNOWS the Catholic Church is TRUE and denounces HER for any reason, they risk losing heaven. ==We are NOT promised total happiness here on earth. BUT, we are promised TOTAL happiness in heaven. ==The question was specific to the Mormon Church. They are very loving people but their beliefs are so contrary to the Catholic Church, that marriage would be extremely difficult. It is very unlikely that the Mormon would agree to allow the children to be raised as Catholics.=
