Did the Methodist church come from the Catholic church?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerWell, yes and no, yes in the second generation. All people who believe in Jesus, who are not Catholic, have come from those who protested the Church and left, or who protested against one of those protesters and left them. No, in the first generation as the Baptist Church was orignated by John Smyth who broke away from the Anglican Church in the early 17th century. The Anglican Church broke away form the Catholic Church in the 16th century.

Answer 2

The Methodists were started by John and Charles Wesley in England during the mid- to late-1700's as a spiritual renewal movement within the Church of England (the Anglican Communion).

After they died, in 1795 the Methodist church officially separated from the Anglicans and became a new denomination.

The Church of England had separated from the Catholic Church in 1534.

Because the Methodists broke from the Anglicans, rather than directly from the Catholics, it has made ecumenical dialogue between the two easier than expected.

No, the Methodists have their roots in the Church of England.

Answer 4

No, the Methodists split from the Church of England
