Why are the Anglican and Roman Catholic Church built different?

Answer 1

There is very little that is different, other than Anglican Holy Communion is more traditional almost pre-Vatican II in how it is celebrated. Some of this is even evident in the architecture of churches - Anglican churches are much more traditional looking than Catholic churches.

Since Vatican II, the Catholic Church has become more inclusive - mass is said in the language of the people, the altar is sometimes and usually part of the congregation as is the priest, in where each are physically during celebration, the people of the parish are able to be involved within different ministries in the church. Though much is the same within an Anglican Church, the pulpit is usually still very visibly segregated from the congregation.

The main difference between Anglicans and Catholics is part of the Catholic creed, where it says 'one, holy, catholic and apostolic church'. Apostolic meaning from the apostles. Catholic clergy are ordained by others who were ordained by others who were ordained by the apostles themselves. Because the Anglican Church broke away from the Catholic Church and new clergy were appointed by the crown, there was a break in the apostolic line (not with all clergy of course because some who were not appointed were ordained prior to the break away, and have since ordained others).

In terms of the mass, this is a main reason why Catholics and Anglicans cannot take communion in each others' churches.What is so different about the churches church of England and the roman Catholic?2.

The main difference between the Anglican Church and the Roman Church is that the former believes that here can be no additions to the Deposit of Faith! [1st Tim.6/20] The latter church by claiming Papal Jurisdiction and Papal Infallibility have, the Anglicans believe, added to that Deposit!

This has caused many other differences between the two Communions and confused the issues!

It should be noted that originally when people talked about, or referred to the Apostolic Succession, the reference was not only to the mechanical transfer of Catholic Orders from Bishop to Bishop, as is the system from ancient times, within the Church in England, it referred also to the transmission of the Catholic Faith from one generation to another. In both these cases the Church in England has been scrupulous in the extreme! Unfortunately others have not held to this high standard! Again, the Anglican, or English Church has a long history with its provenance being hid in the ,'mists of time,' {Scot!} Whilst in England at least the Roman Church's beginning was in 1571 with the papal fatwa against Eliza!

Neither did the Church ,'break away,' as is oftimes suggested from Rome. The break was on the Roman side as is shown by the Papal Bull [1570] referred to above in pursuit of the pope's political adventures!

Roman Catholic AnswerAnglicanism: i. The body of Protestant episcopal churches deriving from and in communion with the Church of England, including the churches of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the United States, South Africa, Etc. with their missions and dependences.

ii. The systems of faith and morals professed by these bodies. These it is impossible to summarize owing to the diversity of belief and (to a lesser degree) of conduct taught, permitted and tolerated in Anglicanism. From the definite "romanizing" of a section of the high-church party, to the extreme liberalism of certain dignitaries and professors, many varieties of Christian thought can be found. They are usually very roughly classified as high-church, broad-church, and low-church; but, as Father Humphrey Johnson has justly observed, there exists within the Church of England "a larger and more important party than any of these, though a less articulate one. This party serves as a cement between the others." According to the official Book of Common Prayer the articles of the three creeds are to be believed; The Bible contains all things necessary for salvation; Purgatory, indulgences, veneration of images and relics, and the invocation of saints are "vainly invented" and "repugnant to the word of God"; two sacraments necessary for salvation were ordained by Christ, Baptism and the Supper of the Lord; transubstantiation "is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture"; the "sacrifices of Masses ... were blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits"; "the Bishop of Rome hath no jursidiction in this realm of England," etc. These still represent the belief of many Anglicans.

In other words, just another Protestant denomination, but this one with closer ties to its founding king (the King of England).

Answer 2

Roman Catholic AnswerBecause the Anglican church is a protestant church established by a king to justify his sin, and the Catholic Church was established by Our Blessed Lord to justify men.
