Catholic idolatry, the worship of idols or images, is not a common practice within the Catholic Church. Catholics believe in the veneration of saints and religious images, but they do not worship them as gods. The Church teaches that worship is reserved for God alone.

What was the core reason why Protestants wanted to reform the Catholic Church?

AnswerThere were several issues over which the Protestants and Catholics were in dispute, but the factor common to almost all issues was that the Protestants felt that the Catholic Church had become corrupt.

Is the Episcopalian church practice closest to Catholic church?

The Episcopal church, as we know it today, was founded by Henry VIII of England, and later codified and established by his daughter, Elizabeth I. At that time, the sacraments that they retained, the Bishops, Priests, etc. were all based on the Catholic church in England. As a matter of fact, to a large extent that WERE the Catholic priests and Bishops of England who thought it more expedient to convert than lose their heads. The Book of Common Prayer was pretty much a translation of the Mass with the more "Popish" doctrines removed and it was still celebrated in Catholic churches which Henry simply took from the Catholic Church. Other Catholic churches (other than Roman Catholic) have different traditions, like the Eastern rites, etc. The closet in practice to the Roman church would be the Episcopal.

Priests, nuns and lay people are encouraged by the Church to perform acts of charity whether at home or on a mission.

Does the Catholic Church accept the Philippine Independent Church Aglipayan Church as valid?

Roman Catholic AnswerNo, when the Philippine Independent Church started up at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Vatican instructed the Archbishop of the Philippines to excommunicate everyone involved.
