Jesus, as founder of the religion, spoke of it first.
Yes it is - my son was! Speak to your local church in person
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, if you have made your first Holy Communion and want to be an altar boy, you speak to the priest and ask him. He will talk to you and arrange for you to be trained.
Probably the first thing is to speak to your local parish priest.
The Romans spoke Latin.
William Tyndale preached against the roman catholic church.
Why not have a look at www.fisheaters.com or www.catholic.com for the answer? They're both excellent sources of facts about the Catholic Church. :)Catholic AnswerYes, it is a sin to disobey the precepts of the Catholic Church. The precepts of the Church are NOT man made, they are distillations, so to speak of what you should be doing if you are trying to love and follow God.
My guess is the a Mother Church is one that has given birth, so to speak, to the coming into existence or the formation of that church. The Roman Catholic Church is referred to as Mother Church.
Roman Catholic AnswerIf the non-Catholic man is interested in a Church annulment, he should speak to the parish priest in the parish in which he resides to discuss his complicated marriage problems and the reason he is seeking a Church annulment.
Roman Catholic AnswerAn Episcopalian, regardless of his persuasion (high church or low church) is still a protestant, even if he likes the more Catholic ceremonies of the high church. Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is restricted to those who believe as a Catholic and are in a state of grace (have been baptised, and have been to confession). An Episcopalian is not Catholic, and does not believe as the Catholic Church does. If he does believe what the Catholic Church does, like everyone else, he must attend RCIA classes and be legitimately brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil. Having been a "high church" Episcopalian myself, I know of what I speak!

No. The Catholic Church has never acknowledged a pre-tribulation rapture as imagined by the Pentecostal religions. The Catholic Church has remained tight lipped on the subject of Revelation preferring to let the lessons of Jesus and the warnings of Revelation speak for themselves.
A divorced Baptist male may or may not need an annulment of his prior marriage from the Catholic Church in order to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church. Although Baptists are able to re-marry after divorce, Catholics may divorce but may not re-marry unless the sacrament of the first marriage has been declared null. If the divorced Baptist did not have a valid Christian marriage (that is, one spouse was not a validly baptized Christian, or the ceremony was not Christian, then the annulment process is much simpler - but any prior marrriages still need to be declared null). If the first marriage was a valid Christian ceremony, then the couple desiring a marriage in the Catholic church will have to go through the 'formal' annulment process which takes considerably longer and is very thorough but very worthwhile if you love this person. The Catholic person cannot enter into a valid marriage unless this is done.
