**Since when was Anglicanism part of Rome? As far as I know, it never was. It had its origins from Henry VIIIth. He could not have a divorce under the Catholic Church, so he created his own religion, Anglicanism. In other words, the Church of England. He made himself the head of this church. That means the Pope isn’t the head of it. Today, the Queen of England is the head of it. Using his own religion, Henry VIIIth did serial marriage and serial divorce. That wasn’t the worst of it. He had the women he divorced…executed. So much for obeying the 10 Commandments. So as you can see…The Anglican church remembers much of what it leaned when it was part of Rome.

Anglicanism was never part of Rome. To be part of Rome, it has to have unity with the Pope. Believe me, it does not have unity with the Pope, on account of some of the things they’ve done. The best example I can quote is their “priesthood” of women.

Before the reformation, what was to be ‘The Church of England’ was ‘The Church in England’.
The former became the Anglican Church, which is divorced from Rome, the Latter was the still married wife of Rome.
Being divorced does not make her a different person, and she still remember former days.
I’m sorry, I thought that the simple similitude of a divorce would be understandable.It makes no sense figuratively, let alone literally. The Anglican Church is not part of Rome and never was. The only divorce that took place was Henry VIIIth’s various divorces of his wives through the Anglican church.
You sound like you honour such a manmade church, or am I getting the wrong impression from the complex way you write? You are difficult to understand since you do not use simple English.
To what is this relevant?Yes, there was recently an anglican ‘priest’ in canada who denied that christ ever existed stating that Paul always says’ the Christ’ in his works, not Jesus- he thought that all of chrisitanity stemmed from ancient egyptian heresy- and the Jesus was made up etc. How rediculous!
Ugh. You still write pretty complex. I’ll assign numbers to each statement just to help me keep track.I’m sorry, I thought that the simple similitude of a divorce would be understandable.
I will put it plainly.
The Anglican Community is a recent name for the Church of England.
The compromise was that all the teaching up to that time was accepted by the new seceeded church, excepting Papal authority, which was transferred to the king.
- Before the reformation, there was no Church of England as a separate entity, there was however the Church in England, which was simply the English branch of the Church of Rome.
- Henry, whatever else his sins, could not tolerate a worldly higher authority to himself, so he severed the link between the Church in England, and Rome, forcing that church into secession. I used the similitude ‘divorce’, as appropriate for the secession.
- Some of the clergy refused to comply with the secession, and many paid with their lives, but on the whole, secession was accepted, though, under duress.
- So the Anglican community is a schismatic catholic church, which accepts most of the doctrine prior to the schism.
- This is what I mean when I say she remembers when she was part of Rome.
Her history does not start with the schism, only her separate history, as a divorce does not change the person of the divorcee, or her memories.
I hope this clarifies the similitudes I used.- As for me honouring the Anglican church, she is my mother: Moses said: Honour your Father and your Mother.
I regret the secession, and I personally work for re-unification, but I am just a footsoldier.
Ugh. You still write pretty complex. I’ll assign numbers to each statement just to help me keep track.
- Why do you call the Catholic Church “the Church of Rome”? For a temporary time, the Vatican was at a different city, not Rome. It is not correct to say “Church of Rome”. It is correct to say “Church of Christ”, as Jesus established His Church way before the Reformation, while He was still in His humanity on Earth.
I am sorry if you find this term offensive, or in your eyes, inaccurate.
The name used is actually the name used by Anglicans, (and some protestants), for what you call the Church of Christ.
Actually, Anglicans consider themselves to be members of the Church of Christ, as do most protestants.
To say that we, and they, are not is deeply offensive.
We, and they accept that they are schismatics, wrt Rome, as are the Eastern Orthodox, the Jacobeans, and the Nestorians, to list a few other Catholic Churches.If my criticism seems harsh, it is not intended so, but unless you can see through the eyes of you colocutor, your word fall on the ground.
- There was no divorce. You cannot take a man and create a woman and say that’s a divorce. Henry created his own church because Christ forbade divorce and Henry wanted to make divorce allowable. Henry divorced [and had executed] more than once. These things are horrible to do, no matter how they are justified. In marriage, the two become one. In essence, Henry ripped himself into many pieces rather than learn to love a single woman.
