I guess I had not heard about this situation. However, if you have followed the Kennedy family over the years you have learned that they never let Church doctrine get in the way of their personal agenda. They were what are known as 'Cafeteria Catholics' - picking and choosing what they want to believe and follow. They were Catholics in name only.
In the Catholic Church, a host remains consecrated as the body of Christ as long as its physical form remains intact.
The practice of indulgences began in the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages, around the 11th century.
the episcopal, because in the catholic church what is the practice of the first apostle is still practice until now.
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.
I know that they were united with the Catholic Church. Read on Hitler and also the history of the Catholic Church.
heresy is the denial of the teachings of the church
Yes. Although the church frowns upon divorce, the divorced Catholic remains a Catholic and can continue to receive all the sacraments, unless the Catholic remarries without formal permission of the Church (annulment).
Yes, in that they both originated with the Catholic Church, went into schism, while retaining valid Orders and valid sacraments: to that extent they are alike, although the American Catholic Church, which is derived from the Old Catholic Church, a schismatic group that went into schism after the First Vatican Council, is not in communion with the Catholic Church nor the Orthodox Church. The American Catholic Church is in communion with the Anglican Church meaning, when all is said and done, they are yet another protestant church, while the Russian Orthodox remains Catholic to a degree.
isn't that the Roman Catholic religion? i think they still practice it today
1066, when the French invaded England they discovered archaeological remains from Egypt - the first Catholic churches. Because the Egyptians did not refer to their religion as "Catholocism", technically 1066 was the year Catholic Church was discovered.
Puritans rejected the Catholic Church because they believed it was corrupt, emphasizing simplicity in religious practice and governance. They sought to purify the Church of England from what they perceived as remnants of Catholicism.
As long as the person remains separated and does not remarry, he/she is able to receive the sacraments. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce.
