How will the latest Anglican position on Gays effect the Catholic Church?
It will not, as the position of any church outside of the Catholic Faith does not affect the Church in any way as the Divine Founder, Christ Jesus, set the Doctrines in place and those Doctrines cannot be changed because the times and peoples standards fall below God's expectations. However, more importantly, why should the Anglican position effect the Catholic more than a Lutheran, Baptist, or Jehovah's Witness? What Christ put into effect cannot be changed by man.
What is the dedication of the parish church?
Dedication means setting the building apart for something special (ie for the worship of od) , or to commit or devote that building to the work of God. The dedication of a church building can also be called the 'consecration' . The dedication of a church building takes place soon after the building has been completed. A special church service happens where prayers are said to ask God to bless the building, and to pray for all those who will worship in that building in the future. Often a senior church person (e.g. Bishop if a Roman Catholic or Anglican Church) will lead the service, and other important people (like any leaders of organisations who will have use of the church) will be invited. Occasionally church buildings are rededicated - sometimes after a change of name or after some structural alterations.
Was it the Continuing Church? Which consists of the United Episcopal Church, The Diocese of Christ the King and the Anglican Catholic Church, all of which separated from the C.Of E, and held to the catholic faith of the First thousand years.

Why is the sheepfold one of the symbols of the church?
Shepherding was very common in Israel, the land from which we get the Bible. So Jesus used the illustration of a shepherd caring for his sheep to teach many things.
Why did the Puritans reject both Catholic and Anglican Churches?
First of all to reject the Anglican Church is to reject the Catholic Church, because that is what the Anglican Church is! Or at least a manifestation of the Body of Christ! The Church came to this country according to some sources, [Lingard, a Roman Scholar, ] just after the Death of Christ. He also reminds us that our first Bishop was Aristobulos, a friend of S. Pauls.
The Puritans found all of this time wasting and irrelevant. They didn't agree with set liturgies and controlled prayer, they believed in a more personal approach to the Saviour. They didn't bother to take care of the church buildings or believe in what Our Bishop and martyr Bl, William Laud,] called ,'The beauty of holiness,'. They rejected the Real Presence and prayers to the Saints and Holy people of God, they had no thought for Tradition and the Holy Councils.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe puritans rejected the Anglican Church because it was the established Church of England and they thought that when they had left the Catholic Church they had not left enough of its rituals and beliefs behind.They rejected the Catholic Church, ultimately due to man's sinful nature. They could not accept that the Catholic Church taught with the voice of Jesus, and they felt that their own interpretation of The Bible was enough to ensure their salvation. The sad thing is that in rejecting His Church, they were being disobedient to the very Bible they were claiming had the answers: Jesus said, "He who hears you, hears Me; he who rejects you, rejects Me."
How did the puritans' and the pilgrims' view of the Anglican Church differ?
The Puritans wanted to reform the Anglican Church. The Pilgrims, who were mainly Separatists, wanted to leave the Anglican Hurch and set up their own churches.
A tippet is a stole or scarf-like narrow piece of clothing, worn around the arms and above the elbow. The ceremonial scarf or Tippet is worn by Anglican priests with choir dress and hangs straight down at the front.

How did beacon robes get their name?

The name "catholic" means universal, so the "catholic church" is all the believers in Christ all over the world. The organized church was more (or less) one church until the Eastern Orthodox church split from the Roman Catholic church, which was (and is) headquartered in Rome. At the time of the Protestant Reformation, the Protestant churches left the rule of the Roman Catholic church and formed their own denominations (such as Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians).
Sometimes people use the term "catholic" when they really should use the term Roman Catholic, so things can get confused.
The only way for a person who was previously married to be wed again in a Catholic seromony is if the past spouse died or the marriage was annulled.
Why is the Anglican church in the US called Episcopalian and not Anglican?
The U.S.-based branch of the Anglican Communion is commonly called 'The Episcopal Church' because after the American Revolutionary War, Anglicans in the states were forced to sever ties with the Anglican Church in England or be charged with treason. 'Episcopal' is actually the word used in the English parliament to describe the Anglican Church (whereas 'Anglican' is a secondary term adopted from the Latin name of the church, ecclesia anglicana), so it wasn't a stretch for American-Anglicans to begin calling themselves 'Episcopalian' to distance themselves from the enemy after the war.
How is the date determined for Ash Wednesday?
It is 46 days before Easter. The Forty-day period of Lent does not include Sunday.
Although Easter is supposed to be the Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox, they had a hard time figuring out exactly when those WERE in the Western world in the Middle Ages. So they came up with a 19-year moon cycle, which enabled them to fix the date of Easter through a mathematical algorithm, although it isn't a perfectly accurate reflection of the phases of the moon.
The find the date of Easter on the Western Calendar, add 1 to the year, divide it by 19, and look the remainder up on this table:
Remainder - Date
March
14 - 22 3 - 23 11 - 25 19 - 27 8 - 28 16 - 30 5 - 31
April 13 - 2 2 - 3 10 - 5 18 - 7 7 - 8 15 - 10 4 - 11 12 - 13 1 - 14 9 - 16 17 -17 6 -18
So this year is 2008. Add 1 (making it 2009) and divide by 19.
2009/19= 105 with a remainder of 14. Look up 14 on the table. It corresponds to March 22. Therefore, Easter this year is the Sunday following March 22 - which is March 23. Ash Wednesday is 46 days before that - February 6th
There is also a fully mathematical algorithm without any lookup table that's much more complex to figure out. That's here: http://www.liturgies.net/Easter/TheDateOfEaster.htm
What Christian religion allows remarriage after divorce?
I can't tell you what Christian religion allows for remarriage but I can give Bible scripture on what the word of God says. You must first go back to the cause of divorce. In the book of Matthew chapter 5 verse 32 we are told that "whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultry; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultry". In Matthew 19:3-9 the Lord speaks again on the matter. The only reason ever given anywhere in the scriptures is for fornication. Now with that being said there are only two things that can sever or end a marriage. One being a divorce for the cause of fornication, the other being death. Now in this case being divorce, that is , you being the one that divorced your spouse for the cause of fornication or "adultery" then the word of God allows for remarriage. Now this also goes further in the word of God saying in 1 Corinthians 7:39 and Romans 7:2-3. I can go into great detail but this will give a good start to the answer you might be looking for.
The 'Anglicans' aren't a group of people or followers, they are a Christian Denomination (ex: Catholic, Lutheran).
