There is no specific year when Roman Catholics definitively declared they were right and Anglicans were wrong. The split between the Roman Catholic Church and Anglicanism occurred gradually over centuries, with theological and political differences contributing to the division. The official break between the two occurred in the 16th century during the Reformation period, with each side claiming theological validity.
The Puritans were granted the right of public worship under the Maryland Toleration Act of 1649, which permitted freedom of worship for all Trinitarian Christians but not for Catholics. This act reflected the Puritans' desire for religious freedom while still maintaining restrictions against Catholicism.

Lutherans believe in "sola scriptura" and "sola fidei", which means that unlike Catholics, they believe that the Bible is the only guide for Christians and that faith alone saves. Also unlike Catholics, They belived in every individual having a personal relationship with God - if you committed a sin, you could confess directly to God, instead of through a priest.
According to Roman Catholic tradition, the sanctuary lamp is not lit only two days out of the year: Good Friday and Easter Eve. These are the only times the Eucharist is not present in the tabernacle. The sanctuary lamp being lit represents Jesus being "home" in the church. On these two days, the host is housed elsewhere.Upon entering the assembly space:When the host is home (the light is lit), one should genuflect (bow on the right knee and make the sign of the cross on the forehead, chest, left-, then right-shoulder using the right hand) in the direction of the tabernacle and sanctuary lamp.When the host is elsewhere, one should genuflect to the altar (the table on the elevated platform called "the sanctuary"). This is to acknowledge the presence of the lord in the space and pay respect to the word.For more information, visit http://jloughnan.tripod.com/whylamps.htm"Why Do Catholics Have a Sanctuary Lamp Burning Night and Day in Their Churches?" by Paul Stenhouse MSC PhD
Although this is phrased as a single question, there are actually two questions at play.Should religious people accept the use of contraception by others? The answer to this must be an unequivocal yes. Other people have the absolute right to manage their fertility as they see fit. This absolute right applies regardless of their marital status.Should religious people use contraception? Here there is no right or wrong answer. Each person must decide in good conscience whether they see anything inherently wrong in the use of contraceptives. Even if the decision is that there might be something inherently wrong in the use of contraceptives, he or she must also decide in good conscience whether a greater wrong is to risk having more children than can be supported in the circumstances.
There are: 1.81 billion Roman Catholics
The Peace of Augsburg was significant because it granted the German princes the right to decide the religion of their region, this was a first. This also meant that the Roman Catholics were in fact recognizing the Lutherans as a religion and were no longer going to force people into Roman Catholicism.

Roman Catholics believe we do not have the right to take away one's life.
I suspect that a Catholic can read the Bible and see if its there, and if not, seek support from other Catholics or the minister/vicar of a church.
Answer:The main form of worship for Catholics and Orthodox is the Mass which is NOT a commemoration of the Last Supper. It is the Passover, the Dying of Our Blessed Lord on the Cross for our salvation. Think of it this way, to attend Mass is to actually witness the One and Only Event of Our Blessed Lord dying on Calvary. At the Mass or the Eucharist you are witnessing Our Blessed Lord offering Himself to the Father, on the cross, and its graces are available to you as if you were on Calvary Hill in 33 A.D. because you are. Remember that with God there is no time, and He is making that one time event present right now for you. Catholics witness the Crucifixion of Our Blessed Lord every time they attend Mass - it is NOT repeated but we are able through God's miracle of the Mass to witness it.AnswerThe main form of worship for Anglicans is a commemoration of the Last Supper; it is celebrated every Sunday.It is called by different names: Catholics and High Anglicans use the term "Mass"; Catholics and mainline Anglicans use the term "Eucharist"; Eastern Rite Catholics, Copts and Orthodox use the term "Divine Liturgy"; Evangelical (Low Church) Anglicans use the term "Lord's Supper" and, unlike the others, do not normally have the celebration every week.AnswerThe Holy Eucharist is the main part of worship just like Roman Catholics.AnswerThe Catholics and Anglicans have Mass, the Orthodox have Divine Liturgy, the Uniting Church have Services
Roman Catholic AnswerThe last year for which I have statistics is 2006, from the Statistical Yearbook of the Church. In that year, they listed the total Catholic population as 1,130,750,000. So it is safe to say that now it is over a billion people. Which right now of 2012, there are 1.81 billion Roman Catholics.
Catholics who belong a Church that uses one of the several Eastern Rites can be considered "Roman" Catholics in the sense that their Church is fully and totally in communion with the Bishop of Rome--the Pope. However, they do not use the Latin or Roman Rite (liturgy, theology, practice, etc.), instead using their own Rite. So, if they are being called "Roman Catholics" because they truly are united with the Pope, then perhaps yes; however, it is not accurate to call them "Roman Catholics" when making reference to their membership in their own particular Catholic Church (and they may indeed object to being referred to as "Roman Catholics"). In that case, it is more accurate to refer to them as Maronite Catholics, or Ukrainian Greek Catholics, or Chaldean Catholics, or Coptic Catholics, etc., depending upon which eastern Catholic Church they belong to; "Roman Catholic" would then refer to "western" Catholics who use the Latin or Roman Rite.Roman Catholic AnswerActually all Catholics are "Roman" Catholics even though the word "Roman" is not normally used. The word Roman came into use in English speaking countries in the last several hundred years and just refers to the fact that the Pope is in Rome, it does NOT refer to the Latin Rite. All different rites of the Church are Roman. The term Roman was originally used to be offensive, it is not strictly correct, I usually use it to differentiate from all the other churches who are now calling themselves Catholic, like the Polish National Catholics, the Old Rite Catholics, the Anglo-Catholics, the Society of St. Pius X Catholics, the Orthodox Catholics, etc. .Eastern Rite Catholics are every bit as much Catholics as Latin Rite Catholics:1203 The liturgical traditions or rites presently in use in the Church are the Latin (principally the Roman rite, but also the rites of certain local churches, such as the Ambrosian rite, or those of certain religious orders) and the Byzantine, Alexandrian, or Coptic, Syriac, Armenian, Maronite, and Chaldean rites. In "faithful obedience to tradition, the sacred Council declares that Holy Mother Church holds all lawfully recognized rites to be of equal right and dignity, and that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way." (Sacrosanctum concilium 4)
Roman Catholic AnswerIn the United States in 2012, the "Christian Right" actually refers to a coalition of Catholics and Evangelicals primarily. I have read some tirades from old mainline fundamentalists decrying the Evangelicals embrace of historic Christianity as defined by the Catholic Church. Your question is strangely out of date.
It is really a matter of tradition. Western catholics use the whole open hand ( five wounds of Christ) and often three fingers( 1st , middle, ring) for Trinity and cross shoulders left to right. Orthodox ( or Eastern Catholics) use the first and middle fingers and thumb (Trinity) and cross shoulders right to left.
Almost solidly Roman Catholic. The second largest is Islam (6%) Very small minorities of Jews, Protestants and Anglicans. Hinduism and Sikhism are growing but are not recognised by the Government, but it does not deny them the right to practise Same as everywhere, catholics , protestants , Jews , everything
