Catholics and Anglicans

[followingtheway]

Another question, what are Anglican beliefs about the Virgin Mary and how do they differ from Catholics?

I met an Anglican who didnt believe in the perpetual virginity. Yet I met another who prayed the rosary

Yep. Mystifying, ain’t it? Almost as if there were various sorts of Anglicans, with various beliefs.

There is room for manoeuvre. This is generally due to the belief in sola fide. I personally do not take a view on the Marian questions because in general I do not think that doing so is not a typically anglican thing - the questions about Mary are only ever raised by EVa in conversation anyway.

The Anglican Divines of the 17th century tended to maintain the traditional beliefs of the Church with regard to the perpetual virginity of the BVM.

Bishop George Bull says in a sermon:

“Now the necessary consequence of this dignity of the blessed Virgin (that she was the Mother of God) is, that she remained for ever a virgin, as the catholic church hath always held and maintained. For it cannot with decency be imagined, that the most holy vessel, which was thus once consecrated to be a receptacle of the Deity, should afterwards be desecrated and profaned by human use.”

From a sermon by Bishop Jeremy Taylor:

“And He that came from His grave fast tied with a stone and a signature, and into the college of the apostles ‘the doors being shut’ , and into the glories of His Father through the solid orbs of all the firmament, came also (as the Church piously believes) into the world so without doing violence to the virginal and pure body of His mother, that He did also leave her virginity entire, to be a seal, that none might open the gate of that sanctuary; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, ‘This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord God of Israel hath entered by it, therefore it shall be shut.’ (Ezek 44:2)

True again, as to Hank and the 39. But do not over simplify Hank’s great Matter. Many, many details. And not so much Spanish pressure as Charles V, in his Holy Roman Emperor persona. True, he came of Spanish roots.

Granting of decrees of nullity, as also noting the existence of and granting impediments for a range of technical and canonical impediments in marriage, was quite commonplace in the day. It was a system designed to allow two things: the control of the sacrament of marriage by the Church, and the making and breaking of dynastic marriages for reason of realpolitik.

Hank’s story has long been a hobby of mine, and the occasion oy many posts locally.

Ah, fudge. Make it “granting dispensations”. Must have been asleep when I typed that.

OTOH, no one gave me a raspberry; maybe I’m not being read. Could get away with all sorts of wrong words, in that case.

Anglican _ the reverent or spiritual teacher didn’t receive the very important sacrament as the priest received in the Catholic church when they are ordained. Therefore, the communion isn’t valid and they don’t have any confession.

Catholic _ Contains all the blessed sacraments that were passed on from Jesus to the Apostles. _ They also believed in the Virgin Mary

There are many difference but two main ones is the fact that the Catholic Priest can replace the Lord during the sacrament of reconciliation and Eucharist and Catholic accept Mother Mary as the blessed virgin Mother.

The origin of Protestant was from a King that wanted to be able to divorce. Catholic cannot divorce technically because it is consider a mortal sin if your spouse start his/her life with someone else or if you start your life with someone else, due that it would be consider adultery.

the origin of Protestant was NOT from a king that wanted to be able to divorce. do you remember Martin Luther? John Hus?
