there is none. they are are the same thing. The catholic church in America isn't called the American catholic church, it is still called the roman catholic church because it originated in rome and the pope lives there.
However, when the term "American Catholic Church" is used, it also denotes various other Churches, that call themselves Catholic but are not under the Jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church, of whose Hierarchical structure is headed by the "Pope", also known as The Bishop of Rome, Patriarch of the West, or First among Equals. So, therefore, they may resemble the true Catholic Church but are not fully Catholic.
Most Anglican Churches from a Birds eye view look like a cross, pointing east. Most Catholic churches do not; they usually have a tower by the entrance which then leads in to a rectangular room.
The main difference between prayers in Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, and those in nonconformist churches is that they are far less rigid and structured in the nonconformist churches. The prayers in both Roman Catholic and Anglican churches tend to follow specific structures and guidelines.
The Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Catholic) churches are the two main branches of Christianity. The Eastern Church is composed of national churches that are in communion with the Patriarch of Constantinople, while the Western Church is under the jurisdiction of the Pope in Rome. The two churches have different theological traditions and practices. The main differences between the Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Catholic) churches are: -The Eastern Church uses the Byzantine Rite while the Western Church uses the Latin Rite. -The Eastern Church is organized into Patriarchates while the Western Church is organized into Dioceses. -The Eastern Church teaches that the Bishop of Rome is the first among equals while the Western Church teaches that the Bishop of Rome is the supreme Pontiff. -The Eastern Church is composed of national churches while the Western Church is composed of local churches 678217.
In Catholic churches and possibly others, the communion rail is what is left of the rood screen. It was a separation between the congregation and the altar area of a church.
None, Catholic priests are Christian priests.
The Catholic Church is under the direction of a pope. Protestants are not. Catholics believe the Eucharist to be the actual body and blood of Christ, as opposed to being a symbol. There are other differences, but these are the main ones.
The key differences between the Anglican and Episcopal denominations lie in their organizational structures and geographical locations. Anglicanism is a global tradition with various national churches, while the Episcopal Church is the American branch of Anglicanism. Additionally, the Episcopal Church tends to be more liberal in its theology and social stances compared to some Anglican churches.
There are many similarities between Catholic Churches and Church of England churches for the simple reason that all the original Church of England churches were Catholic Churches before they were stolen by King Henry VIII and appropriated for his new "church". They all contain an altar situated in a sanctuary, and a place for the people (called the nave). Many of them still contain a choir between the nave and the altar.
The East–West Schism, commonly referred to as the Great Schism of 1054, is the break of communion between what are now the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches, which began in the 11th century and continues.
The Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches have differences in beliefs and practices. One key difference is the understanding of the role of the Pope. In the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope is considered the head of the Church and infallible in matters of faith and morals. In the Orthodox Church, there is no central authority figure like the Pope, and decisions are made collectively by bishops. Another difference is in the understanding of the Holy Spirit's procession, with the Orthodox believing it proceeds only from the Father, while Catholics believe it proceeds from both the Father and the Son. Additionally, there are differences in liturgical practices and the use of icons in worship.
The Catholic institution is more or less the same on all countries it is practiced, with very small, unnoticeable differences.
