Has the Catholic Church repented for its practice of indulgences?
Over 300 years ago.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church, itself, has nothing to repent of. The doctrine of indulgences is, and always was, sound. The practice of some individuals in the past, as always, has been fraught with errors. This individuals were corrected, and measures were taken to avoid abuses in the future. The doctrine of indulgences is perfectly okay.
Do catholics tolerate other religions?
Yes we are. Even though our past with other religions is not pleasant, we do not dislike other religions. It is true that Catholicism is tolerant of other religions, although it took a long time, and the success of protestantism for this to be a fact. The church eventually had to give up the fight and be accepting once so many other nations became predominantly protestant, and in those countries the Catholics often became the persecuted. However the view of most Catholics well into the 20th century, and the official view of the church itself was that no one but Catholics could be saved. This changed after Vatican II, inasmuch as separated brethren could be saved if they were truly faithful Christians because of the fact that they were, because of no fault of their own ignorant of the truth of the Catholic Church. In other words they could only be saved as de facto "adopted Catholic Christians". One can only wonder what would have happened if Protestantism had failed and been practiced by an extremely small minority in all nations. In this case it is arguable that the Inquisitions would have continued for a much greater period. There are conservative Catholics today, in a minority, but still a fairly sizable one, who still consider Protestants unsaved because of their faith, and would quite readily put into place a Catholic theocracy in the United States if they could. I'm a convert of 26 years, and I know what I'm talking about, I've met these people.

Is a Catholic who does not believe in all beliefs of the Roman Catholic church still a Catholic?
The Catholic Religion teaches that once a Catholic always a Catholic whether practicing or not!Roman Catholic AnswerA Catholic who does not believe in all the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church is traditionally known as heresy, so the proper term for a Catholic who refuses to believe in all the truths taught by the Church that Our Blessed Lord established is a heretic. The modern term for this is "cafeteria Catholic", but the meaning is the same. A Catholic who refuses to be known as a Christian because they do not believe all the things that the Catholic Church teaches is known as an apostate. Our Blessed Lord did not tell us that following Him was going to be easy, or pleasant, but He told us that He would pray to for us to have the strength to do what we are not normally inclined to do.

Did Henry vii change his religion?
Henry always claimed to be a good Catholic, a better Catholic than the Pope.Accordingly to Henry the Pope was merely Bishop of Rome, and his jurisdiction waslimited to Rome. By comparison, the King of each country was head of the CatholicChurch in said country. The control of the Church by the Bishop of Rome was therefore a usurpation, and the clergy who assented to it were guilty of "praemunire", i.e. loyalty to a foreign ruler (at the time the Pope was temporal ruler of Rome), rather then the King. Howeverin doctrine Henry demanded assent to all traditional Catholic beliefs (i.e. justification through faith and good works) including the sacraments.
What is the Catholic statement of belief?
The Nicene Creed is a statement/profession of Roman Catholic beliefs. It is recited at every Mass. We profess belief in the Traditional Magisterium of all time, believing what has been believed everywhere, always and by everyone, what has been infallibly taught I mean. And the Pope is infallible when he makes a statement ex cathedra, binding all the faithful to belief or else they would excommunicate themselves. This infallibility has only to do with faith and morals. He is then under protection of the Holy Ghost and his statement would be free from doctrinal error. The Holy Father also has ordinary infallibility which is like if he speaks about the faith and adds NOTHING new, he has protection of ordinary infallibility. We do not BLINDLY believe all the Popes say. They Must comport with what has always been believed and taught by everyone at all times. No New Doctrine. Ever.

What is the translation of quod semper quod ubique quod abomnibus?
"Quod semper, quod ubique, quod ab omnibus" literally means, "what always, what everywhere, what by everyone."
