What is the difference between roman catholic and anglican church

No need for transubstantiation, or Holy presence just remembering Christ and his last message: Love one another even as I have loved you that others may see that you are one of mine. So grace before meals and start behaving as He wished and stop squabbling over man-made interpretations and fighting for personal importance. If it is almost the same then why not join back…. What are protestants protesting for now? Secondly, Anglicans typically have believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

Since the nineteenth century many speak of transubstantiation. There are NO significant theological differences between the churches. While all Christan based world is fighting among themselves regarding belief differences who is right and who is wrong,the others will take over who have the same direction in believes. We are all on a tourist visa on earth,once it expires all we take is our soul to God.

All materialism remains on earth in all different forms and shapes as they were there for thousands of years. We are just in transit…. Narrow-minded Bible believers!!!! Why would you pray for anything. If god is god, then god is in charge and does not need bozo human prayer. All thru. Bible we are told to pray. Our communication with. Read the Bible before u make yourself look stupid. The vital question is salvation of the soul.

No matter how the Roman Catholic Church will like to call it but each time the mass is offered the sacrifice of Christ is repeated. When Christ died on the cross he said it is finished. Christ sacrifice took place once for all time upon the cross and is never to be repeated because it paid the full penalty for sin.

That the mass is Christ being sacrificed over and over again on Catholic altars is the heart of catholism with the hope of eventual release from purgatory. I want no part of this because it is unscriptural. It amazes me how modern Christians still believe in human sacrifice Christ for their connection to a god.

Just like the Incas and other human sacrifice religions. Amazing how educated people can become so deluded and never really understand what they base their religion on. Mitchell and Vanessa have it right!

Thank you You are the only one so far to speak and portray what it means to love Jesus. I dont understand why there needs to be a discussion so much on the differences in the negative why not focus on what we all strive towards and that is serving and loving our Lord. Pride has no place within Gods children. Nor does feeling offended. Its all pride. We can learn alot from children they care not what religion you are nor your race nor you position they love and love in return without judgement and this is who the kingdom of God belongs to.

So let us be like them. The history of the papacy is frought of bribery, murder, incest, cruelty to other religions, torture and more sex scandals than a person can count.

Yes the Catholic Church has made a mountain of mistakes or I should say Catholic priests and bishops. So how is that possible when we rarely read of a story similar to Catholic priests fondling altar boys as an example In the protestant church?

Maybe properly the question should be the difference between Anglican and Roman Catholic. Roman Catholics typically assume that the Church of England broke away from England because of divorce rather than the fact that the Pope excommunicated Henry VIII and threatened a Crusade against him. Henry was no Harold Godwinson another English King removed by Papal decree however and he took action. So the Pope lost England not the other way round. And Henry sought an annulment not divorce.

Any good Roman Catholic should recognise the difference. There is only one true Church that Jesus created. It is man that broke away from the one true church to make it convenient for themselves.

Your understanding of the Anglican split from Rome is woefully simply and quite ignorant. The pope refused an annulment to Henry because he was politically captive to the emperor who happen to be nephew of Catherine of Aragon, the wife of Henry. Henry actually had the qualifications for the annulment, but the pope refused due for political reason. Henry broke away from the jurisdiction of the bishop of Rome, he did not break from the catholic faith.

You have accepted the false narrative and wrong doctrine that the the Church of Rome is the Catholic Church. After came Elizabeth who brought reforms into the church. She did not break from Rome, rome excommuncated her and by defacto the Church of England. Thus the split from Rome finally was initiated by Rome. Thanks for posting,some of your points are very educative and important for someone life.

We need to know God better. He prepared us for after his departure by saying when you eat take bread and wine remember me. So remember his teaching not only in communion but at home. That is wrong; Anglicans DO believe that. For Catholics, the bread and wine at Mass become flesh and blood despite the senses still perceiving bread and wine. For Anglicans, the bread and wine remain bread and wine, but also become the Body and Blood of Christ.

It is not really known!!!! Nor whether that it was James or Peter…first. Only opinions by what little written. I know you mean well, but you do more harm than good in this particular article. The real one, for opening up eyes and bringing out secrets , will be grafted back in!!! No doubt the Christian faith is a good one for all those who seek the wisdom of divinity.

The Anglican Church does not have a central hierarchy whereas the Catholic Church has a central hierarchy. The priest of the Anglican Church can marry whereas the priests, nuns and monks of the Catholic Church cannot marry and have to take a vow of celibacy. The Anglican Church originated during the Reformation. The Anglican Church does not have a centralised hierarchy which means there is no church or priest that is considered above all the others.

The Catholic Church has a firmly established centralised hierarchy with the Pope himself on the top and the parish priests at the lowest rung. While Catholics priests promised celibacy and are also applicable to nuns and monks.

When it comes to each church, Anglican Church avoids hierarchy while the Catholic Church embraces it well. The bread and wine in the Anglican belief is just a normal act while for the Catholic it is considered the blood and body of Christ. No matter what their belief or what kind of guidelines they follow.

Anglican and Catholic played a different role throughout history. The consecration in of an openly gay, partnered bishop in the U. Episcopal Church widened the divide between Anglicanism and Rome and opened rifts within Anglicanism itself, leading some Anglicans to petition Rome for a process to become Catholic while maintaining the liturgy and tradition of Anglicanism.

The invitation presumes, however, that these Anglicans accept not only the Roman position on the ordination of women and on the question of homosexuality, but also the Marian and papal dogmas, along with the Catholic understanding of the Eucharist.
