I think that King Henry V111 began the Church of England. where does this differ to christian beliefs?

Question

Where do both religions differ. I do not believe in anything religious but would like to know the difference. There are Church of England schools. Why and what do they believe? please

Answer 1

Well Henry V111 created the Church of England because when he was a Catholic he wasn't allowed to divorce his wife so he created the Church Of England which pretty much has the same teachings of Catholism but you are allowed to divorce. Well as for him, he was allowed to behead his wives.

Answer 2

Pope Clement was under the influence of Phillip of Spain and Henry vlll was his aunt. No way was he going to let his aunt be divorced by Henry vlll. our 'enry thought, " Blow this, the Pope is just a puppet. I'm orf!" It should perhaps be remembered that the church of Rome had in any event become very unpopular in England not least because of the tithing system in which one tenth of the harvest was given to the church. Whilst this enabled the Church to help the poor it also made it very rich and proud (a human failing let's be fair) .Had it not been for this he would not have got away with it. As it was many parts of England stayed with Rome. Queen Mary tried to go back but Elizabeth would have none of it. it was about this time that the Inquisition was in being an action which I understand the Church of Rome today regards as an error,. This is just as well because it happened before the counter reformation and the Doctrine of Infallibility. So the Church of England is Christian and accepts the Nicean Creed and the Book of Common Prayer is a translation of the Latin and The Authorised Version (king James's) was an attempt to bring the wwords of the Holy Bible into the realm and understanding of the ordinary man and woman

Answer 3

Henry VIII split the Catholic Church in England from the authority of Rome. He did not begin the "Church of England". The religion of the land remained firmly Catholic until His death. The Mass of the Catholic Church was still performed and celebrated in Latin.
After Henry's death, his son, the boy King Edward VI (though more probably his advisers) swung the Church violently into the sphere of protestantism, only to be swung back to Rome's Authority under the rule of Queen Mary.
Finally in the reign of Elizabeth I, the Church ended up in the mish-mash it remains today of being "Catholic and Reformed".
Although many will disagree, there are far more similarities than differences between Rome and Canterbury, the two Churches enjoying a far more cordial relationship than in former Centuries!

Answer 4

Henry certainly did not start Anglicanism as we know it today. He kept in place everything that Roman Catholicism taught, except that he substituted himself for the pope. The Reformation in England had to wait for his death, and indeed, his body was barely cold before politicians and bishops were running around making changes; they ended the belief in the change of bread into Christ's body, though they still made people go to church to receive bread from a priest as if the bread was Christ's body. They said that the pope had no authority, and that only the Bible was to be obeyed, but they did not obey it themselves, because they decided what people would believe, and made them go to their parish church to listen to it. Like the Roman Catholics, the Church of England still had bishops, people who controlled parishes in a region called a diocese; and they still do.

After a time, people saw that there was not much improvement, and new denominations arose- Methodist, Baptist, etc., where people had more control, though not as much as the Bible gave them. It is only today, when people are giving up the denominations and meeting in their own homes, that they get what they want, the full democracy of the early church.

Answer 5

Henry VIII, a fairly devout Roman Catholic, founded the Church of England to grant himself a divorce. His only real doctrinal change, the C of E still doesn't sanction divorce, is that it made the King head of the Church in England instead of the Pope, and made the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury answerable to London instead of Rome.

Answer 6

Sounds like you may be a bit confused. The Church of England (or Episcopal Church in the USA) IS a Christian church.
In fact they are pretty mainline Christian. Check out the link below!

Answer 7

Royalty do not have last names. These were originally invented so that people with the same name living in the same place could be told apart, but royalty have never needed that. They do have a "house name", though, and Henry VIII was of the House of Tudor - so if he had a last name at all, it was Tudor.

Answer 8

The Angelica/Episcopalian Church is, in may regards, very similar to the Catholic religion.

The are more open on divorce (the whole reason why they started, to a large extent) and having women and gays serve in the church. They are also less inclined to believe in the intercession of saints and Mary as Catholics do.

Otherwise, they are fairly similar in overall theology (faith + works, for example) and that they way they conduct the liturgy.

It is probably best to think of them as a very liberal wing of the Catholic belief system.

Answer 9
