Do Protestants consider themselves to be better than Catholics?

Well that would depend on who you ask. Some Protestants would consider themselves to be better than Catholics but other Protestants would not. That said, most Protestant churches do believe that their doctrines are better than the doctrines of the Catholic Church. In other words, some Protestants believe that their doctrine is true but the Catholic Church's same doctrine on said topic is false incorrect in a not totally false way so in one sense, some Protestant churches do believe that they are better than Catholic churches but when it comes to individual Protestants versus individual Catholics, it varies from person to person.

Why did catholics in England want to move to America?

Catholics in England sought to move to America primarily due to religious persecution and a lack of freedom to practice their faith openly. The Protestant Reformation and subsequent laws marginalized Catholics, leading to discrimination and social exclusion. The New World offered the promise of religious tolerance and the opportunity to establish communities where they could worship freely and live according to their beliefs. Additionally, economic opportunities in America attracted many seeking a better life.

Can Episcopalians receive Catholic eucharist?

No, only practicing Catholics who have properly prepared their hearts. When Catholics receive the Eucharist, the priest first says, "The Body of Christ" then the individual responds with "Amen". The word Amen means 'i believe'. Episcopalians do not believe in Jesus' True Presence in the Eucharist. Thus, it would 1) be contradictory to their beliefs to receive Communion and 2) it would be a sin for them.AddendumI ought to add here as a rider, that Episcopalians are a church within the Anglican Communion, and, as such, have a broad spectrum of belief and tradition. Within the Anglican Communion there are many Christians (so-called 'Anglo-Catholics') that are Roman Catholic in belief, including Jesus' True Presence in the Eucharist, but with one exception; they reject the authority of the pope. This includes mambers of all Anglican Churches - including Episcopalians.However, despite their belief in transubstantiation, they too are rejected by the Roman Catholic Church and cannot receive the Catholic eucharist. This has caused much grief and heartache in the Anglican Church which is trying to work towards better understanding between our fellow RC Chrictians.
