Who wanted to make England Catholic?

The first churches in Britain (and Ireland) were not connected to Rome, they were independent, and known as the 'Celtic' churches. Then in 597AD, the Roman Catholic church sent a monk called Augustine (not the famous Augustine of Hippo) who began to spread the Roman Catholic influence. Eventually the Celtic Churches agreed to follow Roman customs.

So the Church of England was Roman Catholic until the time of Henry VIII, when it broke away during the Protestant Reformation. The Catholics have always wanted England to return to Roman Catholicism, and this almost happened during the reign of Queen Mary, Henry VIII's daughter - she was a Catholic and had many Protestant leaders burned at the stake. But she was succeeded by her sister Queen Elizabeth I, who was a Protestant, and the Church of England has been Protestant ever since.

Eventually the Roman Catholic church realised it could not win the Church of England back, so it started planting new Catholic churches in England. So there are now churches, ministers, cathedrals and bishops of both denominations.

Do Episcopalians believe in Annulments?

The process typically involves a formal petition, review by church authorities, and a declaration by a bishop or other designated official.

How did Henry VIII make money?

Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460) was a Portuguese royal prince who was known for his contributions to the exploration of the Atlantic Ocean and the west coast of Africa. While he did not directly make money from his expeditions, his efforts played a significant role in expanding Portugal's trade and commerce, which ultimately helped generate revenue for the country.

Prince Henry's main focus was to find a sea route to the source of African gold, which was a valuable commodity at the time. He sponsored numerous expeditions that explored the west coast of Africa, establishing trade contacts and mapping out the coastline. This helped Portugal gain access to the rich resources of Africa, including gold, ivory, and slaves.

Prince Henry also established a school for navigators, where he brought together experts in astronomy, cartography, and shipbuilding. The school's students were trained in the latest navigation techniques and technologies, which helped Portugal gain a competitive edge in trade and commerce.

Through his efforts, Prince Henry helped expand Portugal's reach and influence in the world, which ultimately helped generate revenue for the country through increased trade and commerce.

Anglican Church how many women priests have taken vows by 2009?

I cannot give you the actual figures, bit as a trainee priest in the Anglican Church I can give you some idea of the numbers of women training. In my college (one of many in the Church of England) I have 35 in my year group. 19 of these (ie over half) are women. There are three year groups altogether and it seems that this is a typical intake.

Therefore, by the time all the current clergy retire or die, it seems that in future the male/female split will be either roughly equal gender, or there may well be a slight majority of women clergy of the current trends continue.

How were the separatists views different from the Church of England?

Basically, its 'identity politics.' The Church of England thought people in a particular area - called a Parish - should join and worship as one there (a territorial basis then). Separatist, on the other hand believed that the foundation of the church was God's Spirit, not man or the state. These then believed in a 'gathered church' where 'Christians' would reach out to other like-minded worshippers and come together as one church.

IN the USA, two groups of 'separatists' settled here in the early 17th Century AD - Puritans who wished to change their mother Church of England from within and not separate; and the Pilgrims who wished to separate fully. These two groups began to cooperate together and eventually, the Puritans accepted the new congregational form of government, joined together to form the Congregationist in the USA.
