Why did Henry VIII split churches?
He wanted to annul his marriage to Katherine of Aragorn, but, the Pope would not allow for it. So, Henry broke away from the Catholic Church to form his own one, so that he could do this, & marry Anne Boelyne (sp.)
What theory did the church of england react against?
The Church of England reacted against the Roman Catholic Church's doctrine and authority during the Protestant Reformation, particularly challenging the Pope's supremacy and teachings on salvation and religious practices. This led to the establishment of the Church of England as a separate entity with its own theological beliefs and structure.
How did the break with the Catholic Church help to make Henry richer?
Henry didn't at anytime ,as far as I know, break with the Catholic Church! What he did do was to close down the Religious Houses and confiscate their goods and chattels! This should have made Henry very rich indeed because the money raised from the sale of their land and buildings must have been astronomical! They owned about third of all the land in England. How-and-ever, there were many claims on him for what was left! He was forced by circumstances relating to his marriages and various divorces to placate the nobility and gentry. This he did by selling the nationalised land and buildings at a cut rate to the Catholic and Separatist Gentry both. Other money went in pensions to monks and nuns whom he had wronged and the few schools that he built. Other monies went on building Forts or castles around the coast to protect England from various enemies! All in all, Henry didn't make that much from his ,'great steal,' and even so what he got he frittered it away!
In reality, under Henry, England became a Protestant country. He became the single leader of both church and state, and as a result controlled the resources of both, with full access to all assets. He became very rich and powerful. The problem with Henry was, he could not manage the finances of England well, and nearly led England to financial ruin during his reign. But, the wealth of England and the wealth of the Church of England were his to control, and he lived a lavish lifestyle.
In other words Henry was a man of his time and place, very much as the monarchs of Continental Europe were! Vain, greedy and powerful with a large portion of self will! As indeed were the various popes! But to say that under Henry's rule England became a Protestant country, is to beg the question of, 'just what is a protestant'? Classically a Protestant was a follower and supporter of Luther in his objections towards the pope! Henry certainly didn't do this and neither did The Church in England or the country at large.
Henry was a Catholic as were his three children. They were made so by baptism and Confirmation both of which were indelible, as far as I have been taught!

What is the Anglican doctrine?

Is Prince William Anglo-Catholic or Episcopalian?
He is of the Anglican, or as we style it, Episcopal faith. In England they use the cipher C.O.E. (Church of England) in the U.S. this stands for Corps of Engineers- a part of the Army. I can"t imagine Queen Bess II in a construction helmet with the stylized fort design up front! Kidding aside- the entire Royal Family=- of England, are Anglican, or Episcopal.
AnswerActually, Episcopalians are not the same as the Church of England - they are a separate Protestant Church alhough both Churches belong to the Anglican Communion and are in full communion with each other.The term 'Anglo Catholic' refers to a small branch of the Church of England that maintains Catholic-style liturgy, and are Catholic in all but name, but reject the authority of the pope in favour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (NOT Queen Bess - which is quite offensive), who is by office the Supreme Governor under Christ of the Church of England. HM the Queen's preferred style of worship is very 'middle of the road' Church of England as this is the style which is offered at the royal chapel in her Scottish Balmoral retreat as well as the Chapel Royal at Windsor. Therefore, as William will one day become king, and Governor under Christ of the Church of England, his style of worship will be similar to HM the Queen's style which cannot, for reasons of uniting the Church, be eiither extreme Anglo Catholic nor Charismatic Evangelical.
So William is neither Anglo Catholic nor Episcopalian, but a practising member of the Church of England. However this Church, despite being separate from the Episcopalians, is a sister Church of the Episcopalians in the USA that both come under the Anglican umbrella.
Are people baptized in Aglipayan rites accepted by the Roman Catholic Church?

What is the Church of England's Doctrine on Hell 1995com?
The Church of England has revised it's opinion on hell. Annihilation is becoming a common topic in organized religions. Annihilation is the belief that at death the sinners/unsaved will be punished and then completely destroyed making them eventually non-existant. Unfortunately, this belief is not biblically sound. Jesus talked much more about hell than He did about heaven, making it very clear that hell is a literal place and those who inhabit it will endure torture for an eternity. New church doctrine claims that after judgement all sinners will be completely consumed and detroyed.

How is the Church of England distinctive?
The Church in Britain was brought here in the months or years following the Death of Christ!
It played its part in the development of the Church by supporting most vigorously the biblical Councils of Bishop as the Magisterium as the teaching authority on matters of faith!
It is reputed to have had a member of the seventy,(Luke 10) as first Bishop to the Britons and both Orthodox and Roman scholars acknowledge the presence of at least one British Bishop at the Council of Nice!
Further, the Church in England eschews the foolish claim to be the one church, saying that she is a Communion of believers within the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, the Body of Christ!
How did Queen Elizabeth become head of the England church?
It is her right as reigning monarch. When the Church of England was created there were major upheavals in the church. The Roman Catholic Church had already split as theOrthodox church split away, and martin Luther had already split forming the protestant movement - so called as they 'protested' against the Roman Catholic Church. These schisms were caused because the Roman Catholic Church were accused of corruption and scandal, and not without reason. Their cruel treatment of dissident groups (like the Cathars) was shameful a,d the Inquisition feared across Europe. Selling indulgences was also another corrupt practice supported by the church, and was regarded as very unchristian. Other manmade doctrines that were seen as being against Christ's own teaching helped to ensure that the split happened. It was in this atmosphere that Henry VIII upset the pope over several issues, the last straw being the pope's refusal to grant Henry an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, despite other annulments of marriages being accepted by the Vatican. The Vatican excommunicated Henry from the Church, in their belief virtually damning him to hell. This was the last straw for Henry and so he joined the bandwagon and split with Rome in the same way as the Orthodox Church and the Lutheran protestants. He declared the new protestant Church of England and, by virtue of his position as monarch (and let's not forget, at his coronation he swore that he would pay allegiance to God whatever happened) he declared that the head of the church would be Jesus Christ ( and not the pope) and he would be the supreme governor of the Church. Since then, the reigning monarch automatically takes on the title of supreme governor, so that the present one is the Queen. At her death, the next in line to the throne (Prince Charles) will take her place.
How do you go to salvation in the Anglican church?
By God's grace (free gift) of forgiveness. Like all biblical Christians, Anglicans believe (or should believe) that Jesus is Lord, that he was born for us, died for our sins, rose again and one day will return in glory as judge.
When Henry VIII became head of the Church in England was the Church still Catholic?
A:
At this stage King Henry VIII did not really intend a clean break with the Church in Rome. He merely wanted to limit the power of the pope to make decisions regarding the Church in England. The unrestricted powers that the pope is regarded as holding today were not yet formalised, and there were precedents that Henry might have relied on, particularly the occasional right of kings to appoint bishops. Subsequent events, including Henry's excommunication, meant that his Church could no longer be considered part of the Roman Catholic Church.

Catholic AnswerBe definition, the Catholic Church (in the Nicene Creed) is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. It must be one as it is Christ's Body (see Acts 9:1-5, 1 Cor 12:12-14). Thus its head is Jesus Christ, Himself, who is represented visibly in His Church by His Vicar, the Pope. The Church of England, like every other protestant church is a new creation that was formed by Henry VIII in the 16th century as a complete break from the Church that Jesus Christ founded. It wasn't until centuries later, that some Anglicans, in realizing what they had lost when they separated from the Church, sought to re-establish the apostolic ministry, and the Catholic trappings of their faith. They were not successful except in the most external manner. This has been definitely defined by the Pope, the Church of England in no way is Catholic.How did surfing change through out the years?
Surfing has changed in the following ways: The boards have gotten a lot smaller and lighter. When surfing originated in hawaii, the boards were big and bulky e.g 10 foot+ longboards. The materials used in the boards. Nowadays, boards are made of plastic, fibreglass and high density foam. Opposed to chunky wooden longboards. Due to the changes in the boards, surfing has become faster and the waves ridden are now bigger. The moves attempted are more daring and the overall sport is more competitive. There are professional surfers now, compared to when surfing was just a hobby, a pastime and a way to relax. Surfing is still progressing, with new waxes being developed, and new moves being tested. I recommend surfing to everyone. Its a great way to get fit and relaxxxx.
How does an Episcopalian view the Virgin Mary?
An episcopalian, being an Anglican, adheres to the 39 Articles of faith as set down when the Church of England (the original Anglican Church) was formed in the 1500s. In Article 22 it states: "The Romish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshipping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God." In other words, praying to saints is a real no-no. Although there are some within the Anglican Church who still think in the old 'Catholic' way, the vast majority of the Anglican Church regards Mary as worthy of some respect, but refuses to believe in her as some form of intercessor or 'go-between' in prayer as the Catholics do, as praying to saints is forbidden by this article. Furthermore, whilst in the more Catholic wing of the Anglican Church you may still find the occasional statue of Mary, and small chapels within churches dedicated to her, most of these are relics from before the Anglican church was formed. And in no way would an Anglican venerate (or is it almost worship?) Mary in the same way as a Roman Catholic would.
Was Christianity the format of the US?
Although most of the founders were of one Christian denomination or another, the important idea was that all people could worship their God as they desired without interference from the government.
What are the political reasons for Henry VIII becoming head of the Church?
However, Henry believed he needed a son to ensure the succession to the crown, as there was no strong precedent for female successors. He knew that the Church's rules on annulment were somewhat elastic and so petitioned Pope Clement VII for an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. His grounds would be that her prior marriage with his brother had been consummated and therefore her marriage with Henry was technically incestuous. Clement desperately wanted to please Henry but vacillated for too long. When Pope Clement had unsuccessfully engaged the armies of Emperor Charles in battle, he was no longer a free agent and realised that as Catherine was the aunt of the emperor he could do no other than to refuse the annulment. Henry, in turn, broke ties with the pope and ordered the English bishops to annul his marriage.
