Do Episcopalians have valid sacraments accepted by the Catholic Church?
The Church accepts baptism of Episcopals, and recognizes their marriages as legitimate from supplied jurisdiction out of necessity. It rejects holy orders, penance, extreme unction, Confirmation and the Eucharist.
The Church rejects the above since the Church of England, after its break from Rome, changed the ordination rite making it invalid. Thus no priests were validly ordained, and if there are no valid priests, there are no valid sacraments save in those sacraments were the minister is not ordinarily a priest (i.e. baptism and marriage). This invalid ordination rite was used for a long period of time, long enough that no legitimately ordained ministers remained by the time they rectified the rite and returned to a legitimate form. However, some more traditional branches of the Anglican Church have sought out ordination at the hands of Catholic bishops and brought legitimate orders back into limited circulation within Anglicanism. Sacraments, preformed by these ordained ministers, are now valid, but are still considered illicit by the Church, as they are performed outside of Her and without Her consent.

Can you receive the sacraments in the Roman Catholic Church if you are baptised in Anglican church?
The Catholic church only recognizes one baptism, therefore, if you were baptized protestant, you do not get baptized again if you convert to Catholicism. You will, however, have to go through classes before being able to receive your first communion. If you do this as an adult, you attend RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) and you will receive your communion and confirmation in the same mass.
What is the Sacrament of Reconciliation and why is it important?
Going to confession is not important, but confessing our sins to God is very important. God has made it possible for us to come to Him directly for the forgiveness of our sins. This means we don't need to go to confession to confess our sins before a minister or priest. We can go directly to the Lord in prayer.

What role does an abbot play in the church?
In Christianity, an Abbot is the leading monk of an abbey or monastery. Abbeys and monasteries are communities of monks -- men who have dedicated their lives to God through the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and in light of the charism, or Rule, of the founding Saint. The most famous and pervasive Monastic Order is the Benedictine Order, which derives from the teachings of St. Benedict, father of Western Monasticism.
The Abbot is most often elected to the position by the monks of that particular monastery, and may also be appointed by the heads of the Order. Depending on the Rule of the religious order, the Abbot may be given the position only for a specified time. In some cases he may be a mitred Abbot -- that is, an abbot who is permanently consecrated to the position as an equal to a bishop. His role is that of a spiritual leader, business administrator, and public representative of a given monastery or abbey. Because monasteries and abbeys are not churches for the public, his primary concern is the work and prayer life of the monks.
An Abbess is the religious sister (nun) version of the abbot.
In modern times the Abbot is distinguished by wearing a black, brown, grey, or white zuccetto -- colours depending on the religious Order. The zuccetto is akin to a yarmulke, the Jewish skullcap worn by devout men. Zuccettos are also worn by monsignori (in burgundy), bishops (in pink), and Roman Catholic cardinals (in red). And like the other three ranks of church hierarchy just named, they also wear a pectoral cross -- a large cross or crucifix hanging round the neck and hanging to mid-chest.
What is the difference between sacrament and sacramental?
Simply put Sacramentals are things or actions that are used to show respect or love of God while Sacraments are rites where God acts directly on the person. However, if you need more specifics then:
Sacramentals are material objects, things or actions (sacramentalia) set apart or blessed by the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Churches, the Anglican Churches, and Old Catholic Churches to manifest the respect due to the Sacraments, and so to excite good thoughts and to increase devotion, and through these movements of the heart to remit venial sin, according to the Council of Trent (Session XXII, 15).
Examples of rituals that are sacramentals are making the sign of the cross, bowing the head, genuflection, prostration, the imposition of blessed ashes (the ashes themselves are also a sacramental).
Other examples of objects that may be considered sacramentals are holy water, ashes, bells (especially church bells), blessed fire, blessed salt, candles, the nativity scene, the Advent wreath, crucifixes, holy oil, holy water, incense, liturgical vessels (e.g. chalices), a Mary garden, medals (e.g. the Miraculous Medal or the Saint Benedict Medal), palm branches, graves, funeral palls, religious habits and scapulars, rosaries, vestments, or wedding rings.
A sacrament, as defined in Hexam's Concise Dictionary of Religion is what Roman Catholics believe to be "a rite in which God is uniquely active.
The following are the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church:
- Baptism (Christening)
- Confirmation (Chrismation)
- Holy Eucharist (or Holy Communion)
- Penance (Confession)
- Anointing of the Sick (known prior to Vatican II as Extreme Unction (or more literally from Latin: Last Anointing); informally, the "Last Rites")
- Holy Orders
- Matrimony
I believe that in this case the answer is yes, as long as she receives the sacrament of penance for the years she was living in an an improper situation.
When do people take Sacraments in the Catholic Church?
Baptism is given shortly after birth, or at Easter Vigil after the completion of Catechism classes for those who are converts.
The Eucharist is given around the age of seven in the Western Rite, and at the time of Baptism in the Eastern Rites. It is received continuously (each time a Catholic attends Mass) so long as the recipient is a Catholic in the state of Grace. It is also given as part of Anointing of the Sick, and if the Anointing that is done is Last Rites, the Eucharist is received as Viaticum.
Confirmation is received, in the Western Rite, around the beginning of High School (now), but before the Second Vatican Council it was received at about the age of 10. In the Eastern Rites it is received along with Baptism and the Eucharist shortly after birth.
Confession is partaken in as often as a Catholic wishes, but it is the only way to be cleansed of Mortal Sin after Baptism, and it must be received at least once a year; although it is recommended that Catholics go to Confession once a month.
Anointing of the Sick is received whenever a Catholic is gravely ill or about to have surgery. When it is bestowed upon someone that is about to die it is called Last Rites and it prepares the soul for death. The Eucharist is given under a special name when it is given with Last Rites; it is called Viatcum, which means: "Food for the journey"
Holy Orders is only received by men who are becoming part of the Ordained Priesthood, and it can, like Baptism and Confirmation, only be received once because it imparts an indellible mark on the soul. Men who have completed all their college, seminary, and Diaconate programs are usually around 25 when they receive Ordination to the priesthood.
Matrimony is received anytime two people are married (usually over 18) and is a dissoluble bond. The only times Matrimony is celebrated twice is when a previous marriage is determined to be invalid (through an annulment), or if a widow/widower remarries.
Use seven sacraments in a sentence?
I went to celebrate mass as my son was baptised before taking confession and Holy Communion while my nephew was being confirmed at the wedding of my sister who requested benedicion as part of the service.
OR
Once a person is baptized, confirmed, and receives Holy Eucharist then that person is a fully-initiated member of the Catholic Church who can then go to Confession, get married in the Church (or become a priest through Holy Orders if he so desires), and receive the Anointing of the Sick if he is ever in danger of death.
How was marriage elevated to be a sacrament?
Matrimony is considered a (sacrament) inthe Roman Catholic church. This is on rather sketchy scriptural grounds, the Biblical wedding of Cana (sometimes called Canaan, in deference to the Old Testament, believed these are the same place. This is the only Wedding mentioned directly in the New testament(as distinct from analogies and parables). This was the site of Jesus" first miracle of changing water into wine. Most Protestant churches, while they have Church weddings, do not consider marriage itself to be of sacramental (or equivalent term, such as Divine Ordinance) value. this does nto mean they devalue the rite, but it is not considered a sacrament. Luther opposed the idea of Matrimony being sacramental, as it(Opens the doors to other vocations having God"s command such as ther magistracy (the judicial apparatus) Judges are not sacred officers in this country, and they weredn"t in Germany in Luther's time. However, there is such a thing as a judicial or court-house marriage.In most Protestant denominations only Baptism (John the baptist!) and Communion (a.k.a. the Lord"s Supper, analogous to Last Supper) are considered truly sacramental. Confirmation, usually tied-in to Whitsunday or Pentecost is a Religious observance, a sort of examination-qualification, for the faith, but is not considered to be a sacrament. It is one of the 7 inthe Catholic canon and requires a minimal Ep[iscopal Rank to administer. This writer was confirmed by Archbishop Boland in l967.
