Celibacy in the Catholic Church has been practiced since the early days of Christianity.

Why did the Puritans not believe in a true separation of church and state?
The Puritans did not believe in a true separation of church and state because they viewed the church as a central aspect of their society and government. They believed that the state should enforce religious beliefs and practices in order to maintain social order and moral integrity. They saw the establishment of a particular religious order as essential for the well-being and unity of their community.

What movement divided the protestant and Catholic Church?
Catholic AnswerTo be perfectly honest, nothing "divided" the protestant and Catholic Church. The Catholic church is the Mystical Body of Christ. It, by definition, is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic, and thus can't be divided. The people who founded the protestant churches are know as heretics: in other words, they protested against some aspect of the faith of the Catholic church, and founded their own churches. Any time you deny something in the faith that is heresy. Lately, they have been protesting against each other and founding even more "churches". But the protestant churches now are not composed of heretics as they were brought up in those churches and never left the Catholic church. To be exact about it, it would be formal heresy, not material.The movement you are probably referring to is know as the "reformation" although Catholic scholars refer to it as the "revolt". The "reformation" was in the sixteenth century when those who founded the protestant churches left the Church.from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957The Protestant Reformation: the revolt from the Catholic Church in Western Europe begun and carried to its height in the 16th century. It differed from all previous heretical movements in that it was not concerned with one or a few definite points of doctrine but was directed against the whole complex and system of Christianity as then understood; it gave licence to the human self in the spiritual and religious order.Alternative AnswerSince it looks like you're seeking an actual name, the Protestant Reformation is possibly the best choice. The word "Reformation" is worth noting; the early leaders sought reform rather than schism. In their view it was the leaders of the Roman Catholic church who were the heretics and apostates, having changed the tenets of the Church as established by Christ to include notions they felt were at best unsupported by scripture or in some cases actually antagonistic to it (Luther believed the sale of indulgences, for example, to be at odds with Biblical teachings).It's also worth noting that the Roman Catholic church itself later underwent a Counter-Reformation which eliminated some (though not all) of the practices Luther and others had complained of, effectively tacitly admitting that the accusations were at least partly correct.

What questions should you ask the Church before baptizing a child?
If one is unsure about any aspect of the sacrament or its meaning, procedure, ceremony, anything, ask the priest. The Church expects that you wish the child to be baptized in order that it may enter into the Church and receive God's grace as a child of God in order that it may grow in the Faith and thereby attain to heaven through virtuous living as a Catholic. The Church expects you understand the rudimentary reasons behind why baptism is performed as well as its effects. The Church also expects that by your request you are rearing the child Catholic or are providing Catholic godparents to that end. Since these are the only things the Church expects, they are basically what you should ask about if they seem unclear in any way.

Difference between Catholics and roman Catholics?
The most common distinctions to be made are these:The Church catholic refers to the universal Church of Christ, which can be found in whole or in some aspect, in all Christian churches, particularly referring to the 'catholic character' of those with episcopal structure and a sacramental life. (Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, etc.)The Catholic Church refers to the entire communion of 23 Catholic Churches, which are in communion with the bishop of Rome.The Roman Catholic Church refers primarily to the Latin Church, one of those 23 churches which make up the Catholic Church, and the largest by far, for which the pope is also patriarch de facto. It is not appropriate to refer to Eastern Catholics as Roman Catholic, despite the fact that they are in communion with the Church of Rome.Unfortunately, some historical uses of Roman Catholic interchangeably with Catholic have confused the issue. The AP styleguide, for example, mistakenly equates the two. Some Catholic authors' views on the topic:Roman Catholic: A qualification of the name Catholic commonly used in English-speaking countries by those unwilling to recognize the claims of the One True Church. Out of condescension for these dissidents, the members of that Church are wont in official documents to be styled "Roman Catholics" as if the term Catholic represented a genus of which those who owned allegiance to the pope formed a particular species.from Thurston, Herbert. "Roman Catholic." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 13. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1912. .Roman Catholic "A name used by many English speaking non-Catholics for members of the Catholic Church, as a qualification of their exclusive right to be called Catholics, and the term recognized for use in official and legal documents. As every Catholic, of whatever rite, looks to Rome as the center of the Church and the seat of her supreme pontiff [the Pope] and head, the expression in itself is unobjectionable and is in fact sometimes employed by them [witness your humble servant, myself!] especially in certain countries of Europe. But its use by Catholics is unnecessary and having regard to its connotation for many non-Catholics, sometimes to be avoided.from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, 2nd edition, revised.
