The Catholic Encyclopedia has a good article on the Knights Templars. The link is below this answer, under "related links."
Knights were not the nice valiant fellows we like to think they were. They were more like gang members and did everything a person could do to other people. So, yes they would attack and kill an unarmed foe. It got so bad that the Catholic church came up with rules for knights and made them pledge on the cross to follow the rules.
He thought that with the Catholic church on his side, he would be able to do anything. His purpose for invading England was to return the country to the Catholic faith.
I think it was Anne Boelyn
Roman Catholic AnswerKing Henry VIII of England made no changes to the Catholic Church, he left the Church and established his own church in England: the Church of England. You got to be kidding. Henry the 8th razed all the monastaries and confiscated all the riches therein to fatten his coffers to finance his many wars.. He declared the Catholic religion to be outlawed and anybody who was caught practising was punished in ways we now think of as a sort of genocide. The whole of England practised what Henry said or you died. PERIOD
The Christian Church is thought to have started around 30-33 CE in the Near East, probably in Jerusalem. A second-century tradition claims that Peter went to Rome to lead the Church there, but there was already a Christian community in Rome during the time of the apostle Paul, as we can see from his Epistle to the Romans. We do not know the origin of this community but, at this stage, the Roman church was not yet separate from the Church of the east.The Catholic Church, as we know it today, originated from the Great Schism of 1054, when the Christian Church split to form the Catholic Church in the west and the Orthodox Church in the east.
I hardly think the Catholic Church would proclaim him as a saint since the Church considers him to be a heretic.

i think you have to get an anollement first.
The people were protesting some corrupt practices in the Catholic Church.
There is no answer to the question as asked, as the Catholic Church has never, to the best of my knowledge, in two thousand years, ever, fined anybody for non-attendance. I think you have the Catholic Church confused with the Puritans!
Roman Catholic AnswerI think you have this backwards, the Church, in Christ, is like a sacrament - The Church IS a sign and an instrument of communion with God and of unity among men - from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 775.
No, to be a member of any Masonic organization is an automatic excommunication. To think that the Holy Father would be a member of an organization that he, himself, has declared to be opposed to the Christian faith is ludicrous.
Many of them have misconceptions about the Catholic Church and make false assumptions about it.
Joe Elliott belongs to the Church of England. I think it is a Catholic church. Actually, I don't believe that the Church of England is Catholic. King Henry VIII, broke with the Catholic church & the Vatican so he could get a divorce. He then became the head of a new religion the Church of England. Sorry I rambled, I was trying to explain that the Church of England isn't Catholic.
isn't that the Roman Catholic religion? i think they still practice it today
I think you mean what is a Diocese run by an Archbishop called. The answer is an Archdiocese. The Church is "run" by Jesus Christ. His delegate on Earth is the Pope whom administers the Catholic Church.
