Yes, pretty much. When Rome fell in 410 AD and Charlemagne accepted the role of protector of the Church the Catholic Church was the only Christan church in Europe. The Catholic Church decided to replace the pagan rituals with Christan ones so they used the days that were all ready celebrated by pagans and made them Christian. Christmas was one of these days. It was the Winter solace for pagans so the Catholic Church made it Christ Mass. Christ Mass was celebrated with 3 masses and a dinner.
No, not at all--the Roman Catholic Church would never, ever want to become Episcopal. The Roman Catholic Church believes that it is the ONLY one TRUE church as ordained by Christ. It has been founded since the time of Christ and can trace the Popes back to Saint Peter.

The Catholic Church can and does perform marriages for a Catholic and a non-Catholic (mixed marriages). Generally, Lutheran weddings are left to be performed by Lutheran pastors, though..Catholic AnswerI think what you are asking is can a wedding that took place in a Lutheran Church be blessed by a priest in the Catholic Church. I teach in the RCIA and we have many people coming into the Church whose marriages are in questionable circumstances - as far as the Church is concerned. Marriage is a sacrament, and can only be validly celebrated by two baptized individuals of the opposite sex who are both eligible to marry. A Lutheran wedding between two baptized protestants would be a valid marriage. When someone is converting to the Catholic Church and already married, in whatever circumstances, in most cases, they must be married again before a priest to validly enact the sacrament. Lay folk often refer to this a having the "marriage blessed by a priest" (or the Catholic Church).
