Oh, dude, like a bunch of churches split off from the Catholic Church over the years. You've got the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Protestant churches, and even some smaller groups like the Anglican Church. So, yeah, the Catholic Church has kind of been the parent to a whole family tree of different churches.
The Catholic Missionaries who came to the new world in the 16th century built the first Churches.
When the pilgrims came from Great Britain, many of them were Catholic. They established Catholic churches when they arrived in North America.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church emanated from the side of Our Blessed Lord hanging on the cross, when He was pierced by a sword.

No, Chantries are endowments for offering masses for the soul's repose in purgatory, however chantries were practiced in churches before 1547 when King Edward VI came to the throne in England and abolished it. However many Catholic churches still practice it today. But just to stress a chantry isnt a church, it is a practice done in catholic churches. Hope this helps!
The Churches that came out of the Great Schism of 1054 both claimed to be the original Christian Church. One was the Roman Catholic Church and the other was the Orthodox Church, although this is a more general term for a group of Churches with more than one Patriarch.
Protestants by definition protest some Catholic teachings. The various branches of Protestantism broke away from the Catholic Church in the 1500s. Eastern Orthodox churches broke away earlier after disagreements over doctrine, so could also be said to "protest" some Catholic teachings, although Orthodox and Catholic churches are often said to be "in communion" with each other, which cannot be said of Catholic and Protestant Churches.
Churches and cathedrals are of course build by the (in this case Catholic) Church. The money came from the Church community, often by huge gifts of rich people. Like many old churches the cathedral of Antwerp has been renewed and expanded during the ages. That's why you see different style elements.
Roman Catholic.
Tudor religion was a problem to the Tudors since there where protestants and Catholic's when Henry VIII came on the scene it all went wrong cause he was a Catholic which means he was against the Protestants so he then shut all protestant churches down since he wasn't a protestant and then made them all catholic churches so that ment them that there wasn't a church for the protestants so the catholic's didn't like the protestants and the catholic's didnt like the catholic's !
The roman catholic church did this because they felt it was right
The one holy Catholic and Apostolic church is there for all as Christ intended when he said to the Apostles - go teach all nations. Many members of the Catholic church today came via other Christian denominations. Before being accepted into the Catholic church one must be familiar with the teachings (Magisterium) of the church and must go through a course known as the RCIA (roman catholic initiation for adults). A person must have been baptised in the trinitarian manner, or if not they will be baptised by the church and also confirmed. Confirmation received in other churches is not recognised by the Catholic church but most baptisms are if done in the aforementioned manner.
