The Protestant Church had a large range of roles that differ from the Catholic Church. There are numerous branches of the Protestant church that allow women to enjoy full equality with men, including the right to become ordained ministers. Churches opened positions of authority for women in increasing numbers, giving hope to the idea that full equality between all individuals is in the not-too-distant future. However, women in the Catholic Church aren’t allowed to be priests. Protestant priests can get married.
Why would past rulers or governors try to mix church and state together? Church and state are separate and should say separate. I don’t know why in the past the government has taken over the church. We don’t want history to repeat itself. Also, the government could offend migrants if they are in control of the church and religion.
Marian devotion is however, generally not a feature of Protestantism. Christianity emerged from patriarchal societies that placed men in positions of authority in marriage, society and government, but, in various respects, Christ and early Christianity were more inclusive of women. According to the New Testament, Christ appointed only male apostles, but women were active from the beginning as followers of Christ. As devotion to Mary rose in popularity in Catholic Europe through
The Orthodox Church begged for unity as it often had times keeping the land. On the other hand, the Catholic Church was in no hurry to begin to patch things up with the Orthodox
With the church unable to produce arguments to defend the story of Genesis three against the growing number of questions about it, more and more people defected away from the church, preferring to listen to science. The Roman Catholic Church still holds to the literal picture the Bible presents us with, and holds that sin is the inherited defect that all humans are born with, because we are all descended from Adam, who committed the Original sin. This view is partially held by followers of the other denominations, but more often it is a much looser idea. For example, the Church of England does not put so much pressure on whether or not Genesis three is literal or not, rather their church leaders tend to look at what it contains slightly differently, by suggesting that whether or not the Bible is literal does not matter, as it still provides us with the means of how to live a life away from sin. Another issue that arises out from this however, is the person of Adam, is he
Mary believed that it was her duty to restore the true faith and the true Church. Mary executed a total of 238 Protestants. This included big Protestant figures such as Ridley, Cranmer and Latimer who were later seen as heroes in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. She believed that by burning them, she was freeing their souls, saving them, so they could go to heaven. Also, Mary struggled to re-establish the Catholic faith as she was unable to restore monasteries and chantries and unable to restore land due to rested interests.
"First cause," being a term used by Catholics--at least traditional Catholics of the past--is seldom heard by most Americans, this being a more-or-less Protestant nation. Coupled with congenitally dysfunctional educational concepts, this lack causes Americans' thought processes generally to "begin in the middle" instead of the beginning. The result is many a logical progression of thought which unfortunately has its beginning in a false premise. This error extends to the "right sounding" demand for "children's rights." Of course, the Catholic first cause is God, the real starting point to any believer, but for purposes of this forum concerning the plight of parents and children in America today, it should suffice to begin with the basic
Out of the eight main points of the settlement, I found that Elizabeth had rules that would please both Protestants and Catholic’s. For example one of her new laws was too be in charge of the church (pleasing Protestants), but not called ‘Head’ and was supported by bishops (pleasing Catholics). Another example of a Catholic based law was some church courts would remain. This is seen as pro-catholic because Protestants were against any form of church courts. Yet, the settlement was clearly not entirely favourable to Catholics.
I think Elizabeth was a very successful Queen, but on the other hand she did cause disagreement and executed lots of Catholic e.c.t. Elizabeth could be as ruthless and calculating as any King before her. One of the problems Elizabeth faced was religion and I think she managed it well I think this because she made all of the churches a mixture. Elizabeth was a Protestant and her mother was a Protestant so I would thought that she would of made all the churches, Protestant, but she was good queen and managed the religion well. She kept the Monarch as the Governor of the church not the Pope which is Protestant, I believe this is a good idea because the Protestants will still think she is a true Protestant and she will be popular with them.
Catholicism Being baptized by a Catholic church and raised a Christian, I naturally became curious as to what the differences were between these two religions. Through my research and observation of a Catholic service (mass), I’ve learned that there are many similarities in their beliefs and that it is their practices of worship and salvation methods that becomes the dividing factor. Many people, including myself, typically mistaken Catholicism and Christianity as two very different religions. The fact is that they have an interrelationship, figuratively speaking. By this I mean that Catholicism is simply a denomination of Christianity.
