The relationship of the Anglicans and the Catholics are similar to the relationships of the Catholics and Orthodox. Anglicans see the Catholic Church the same way the Catholic Church see the Orthodox. The Orthodox see the Catholic Church the same way the Catholic Church sees the Anglicans.
And they are lost defining Doctrine on the level of laity, and not seeing the One MYSTICAL BODY. I’m sorry I wish we didn’t have to suffer through this. However suffering is sanctification.
Gary have you read the whole thread? It really isn’t about Anglicans and zip codes v
Ah I see.
No I read this page and when that reached the we are the church, no we are the church thinking I stopped.
CAF sure helps to kill time when you’re getting your hair done.
Now that’s a derailment.
It varies from parish to parish, and every from the particular Church itself. I think Russians will never give Communion to Catholics. Ukrainian Orthodox would give to Ukrainian Catholics, not sure about Roman Catholics. It varies in reality. But even if the Catholic Church herself sees the Orthodox as true Apostolic Churches, I’ve come across many Roman Catholic priests who think very less of the Orthodox and would probably not give them Communion anyway.
That there is one church of Christ, that is true catholic church, the church that recognises the pope as its head and that only they belong to it with any certainty, we may of course discover that other individuals belong to it in the next life but they do not visibly beling to it and no church, protestant sect or body corporate belongs to or is part of it.

Guanophore may find this disagreeable as do I.
Ha ha. Good to know.
Ha ha. Good to know.
I think this sort of thing can easily cause confusion among laity who take the time to think about it. If the Pope is not the head of the Church, them woe to our One True Apostolic Church.Guanophore may find this disagreeable as do I.
Well, the head of the Church really is Christ. The Church is the body with Christ as its head.Ha ha. Good to know.

I pray that this pope or the nest one will define this once and for all.
Yes, of course you’re right. What I meant is Christ is the head, but the Pope is his Vicar on earth.
Amen.
Have you read unam sanctum, the council of Florence, the council of Trent or the Vatican councils? The head of the church is the pope who is the vicar of Christ, who acts in Christ’s place with his full authority. Of course Christ is the head of the church but the pope is the head of the church on earth and acts in his place with his authority to say otherwise is a heresy condemned by The Church on numerous occasions.
