They coexisted and then split over cultural differences between the Greek based East and Latin based west. Jesus was born to a faithful Jewish girl, Mary. Christ taught that no man comes to God but by me. I do not find any validity in either religion not being a denomination.. God, Jesus, man, then woman because she was made from man No man can or is ever permitted to change his word..
Jesus was never pompous in His teaching. He was meek but yet bold like we His followers should all be. Sent in Christian love. If you believe that only the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus then you are wrong.
Not if you were a Catholic or not. The word is of no private interpretation. A denominator is used to bring together things of difference to become like.
I agree. We are not perfect nor or denominations. Jesus died on the cross for all of us but he did command St. The Pope is our leader who guides us based on the truths passed down. Similar to a President but guided by the Church. May the Peace of our Lord be with you always. I believe quite the contrary. Changing denominations or religions shows a lot of thought. Rather than just accepting the religion in which I was raised I thought of other religions.
I was raised Catholic but had trouble with a lot of their tenets. After thinking long and hard I attended an Episcopal service. That was six yeas ago. I felt at home almost immediately. I consider myself an Episcopalian in my religious practices. I was raised Baptist all my life, and only this year I started to attend a local Episcopal church. Hello Danielle. This so called religion was created by Peter and Paul, based loosely on the writings of Mark; not Matthew Luke and others.
Throw in Constantine and the various councils, and you have the book that you worship. The New Testament has suppressed this info.
Women were on an equal basis, based on the Jesus I know and follow. I he neighbors who elongated to St. The visit to the Pope to Chile and the dark part of the church made me take this decision too.
I am baptized. A change is made because you discovered something, not that you lost something. Faith without question is not faith, but fear. How totally wrong. Faith and fear are total opposites. You are very wrong! Why on earth would you say that to someone. Children follow their parents decision as where to go to church.
They then move on and may marry someone who is not of the same faith. That is personal and it is between god and that person! You are aware the its not a change of religion its a change of beliefs and a difference of endoctrination to a point.
I am a man raised in the Catholic lifestyle and beliefs my whole life as well. But I never agreed with inequality in the church. As for the politically charged monarchy in Rome. God is my Sovereign not the pope he is flawed and corruptible because we all are. The Lady above has the right to choose for herself where her religious path takes her and her family.
You Meli, do not. I would suggest that before you berate others about the choices and decisions. You take a hard look at yourself and your bepiefs as well as your treatment of others.
Christians do not act that way, we comport ourselves in a manner of respect and decency. Were I you, I would reread my Bible in matters pertaining to Respect and deference. I have long felt that the differences in certain parts of Catholic doctrine and my 9wn personal moral compass were at a bit of an empass. So this has helped to reassert my point of view a bit. As well as to assuage some of that burden on my spirit as well.
It is not an easy decision to change the core of your faith and beliefs. Even when doing so may help you to better walk with Him and to be at ease with His presence in your life. Fore God gives us those challenges in life that he feels we can handle. Remember those words Meli. I am aware that this article and these posts are a bit out of date, but I felt compelled to respond inspite of that fact.
Griff, well said. I was raised an Episcopalian, however my mother was Methodist Father Episcopalian. The Episcopal Church was about 12miles away so Mama brought us to the Baptist Church around the corner. We were the only Episcopalians and kids loved to make fun of the name. When I was in the 6th grade my parents enrolled us in the local small Catholic school.
So I was a bit conflicted. After the birth of my daughter I converted to Catholicism which was a mistake. Who are you to decide someone does or does not have faith? Are you for real?
Faith is believing in God. How people practice their faith varies but they all have faith. She changed a denomination. We take all of it. So yes receiving the body of Christ requires preparation. The mass is nothing more than the last supper. It was the first universal faith. All others are excerpts from the book. The truth has got me. I really appreciate the information you have here. I just wanted to clear up a couple points.
We as Episcopalians high church do consider ourselves Catholic, just not Roman Catholic. Low church Episcopalians consider themselves protestant. High church Episcopalians do often pray to saints. The Holy Rosary is prayed every Sunday before mass at my episcopal parish.
Darlene you are of the same option as I. Now finding out that a cardinal tried numerous times to lure seminarians to his bed. I have fought with the decision. But I am changing to the Episcopalian Church. I feel the same as you. Our parish is run by money not by faith this is how I perceive it and very into politics which I believe is not a part of worship or interjected into the homilies!
I have been brought up as a cradle Catholic, practice the the religion very personally, I cannot accept in good faith that priest are being sheltered from all these terrible accusation. I am to search my local Episcopal diocese for an Anglo-catholic communion. I understand your concern and frustration with this issue. I would say, however, that no religion is without scandal or sin. We are dealing with human nature. God knows.
I have known many good, faithful priests and cannot punish all because of some. That is not to say I want all bad apples out of the church. I respect Episcopalians possible bad spelling no disrespect and their decisions. I respect how close the faith is to Catholics. I love my church and feel we all need to worship in whatever way works for us but, please, do not expect perfection in any faith.
God bless you. Misguided individual!!!! Absolutely false. You must be Catholic to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion. Catholics believe that thru the consecration that the bread and wine truly become the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Other Christian faiths, or Protestants see it as a more symbolic gesture than a sacrament.
FYI the Eucharist is most certainly a sacrament! It is a hugely strong symbol of His body and blood. This is not correct. Ask any priest or check the back of your missalette during mass. The reason Episcopalians and other Protestants cannot receive communion in the Catholic Church is because they have invalid sacraments. Members of Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East and the Polish National Catholic Church may receive communion in the Roman Catholic Church since those churches are considered to have valid sacraments with valid apostolic succession.
Canon Actually, that is incorrect. Look on the back page of the misalette; there is a list of those that are in communion with the Roman Catholic Church that may receive communion they are: Assyrian Church of the East, Eastern Orthodox and several others. You have been misled by modern values. Women have a place within the church.
By their husbands and within the community, and of course to their children. Women should not, however, be allowed positions of leadership within the church or outside of it. As uncomfortable as it is to believe, there is a very good reason for this. Rita … I agree! Not a fair account of the differences between the churches. Most notably defining the the value of Saints within the church.
Catholics never worship Saints. I will try to believe that this misrepresentation was unintentional and not a nefarious attempt to misrepresent Catholicism. Thats a desgusting statement made from someone who says they believe in jesus.
Theres absolutely nothing wrong with having your own beliefs. Be open to a religion that makes you happy and feel good about yourself. Just because i am catholic doesnt mean i believe everything that is preached by catholics.
Have an open mind. Religous fanaticals kill others who dont believe what they do. Is that godly in any way? Thanks so much for clearing some things up. But 1 question, I always thought as an Episcopalian u had to be confirmed first before starting to take communion, but all guest where welcomed to receive communion. Has it changed? The Catholic Church was not founded by Jesus Christ. Christianity was developed by gnostic mystery cults which fashioned the mythological Christ Jesus as the Jewish counterpart to the god man of the Dionysian mysteries such as the Egyptian God Horus.
The information was very valuable to the layperson. Let the theological nitwits play word games they may impress themselves but not so much with us.
Wrong about the Catholic communion service. Protestants are allowed to participate in a Catholic communion service. Sharon Westey, you are incorrect. This is because we believe in transubstantiation, which happens when the priest blesses the host and wine. I am correct. Our priest said all people who are Evangelical are invited to receive the Holy Eucharist in the Catholic Church.
It was news to me too. You are free to receive communion in a Catholic Church regardless of denomination or religion. However, if you do not believe in what the host represents than what is the point? Otherwise, it is a bland tasting piece of bread. The same is true with episcopalians requirement to be Christian in order to receive communion. Thank you for that clarification.
You are correct. There is no Catholic card, but what is the point without faith? Sharon you are incorrect. The conversion practice is also spearheaded by the personal choice and desires of their souls. Christianity is the most practiced religion in the world. It has unique values from other religions that were mainly used during colonization. So, what is the main difference between episcopalian and catholic? The former allows women to be priests while the latter only men are allowed to be priests.
Keep in mind that religious conversion is due to influence from other religious practices and political affiliations. The rule of thumb is that no religion is superior to the other. Spread love and peace. This article provides detailed insight into the differences between episcopal and catholic in a tabular form. Take the time also to read through their similarities.

Crosses, statues and pictures are acceptable in Catholicism. Catholics widely use them as depictions of Christ, Mary, and the Saints. Stations of the Cross in use in some Episcopal Churches. Death by Crucifixion followed by Resurrection on the 3rd day and Ascension to Heaven. Confess to priests for absolution from sins in the name of Christ John Prayer to the Saints.
The Priest offer's God' absolution. Eternal Salvation in Heaven is the final home of the elect. No belief in purgatory. Our bishops are in the same unbroken line of succession from Saint Peter as Roman Catholic bishops. Bishops are elected and share power with other clergy and lay members in the church.
On the congregational level, the role of the priest is also different than the Roman Catholic Church. Each congregation can choose its own priest through a discernment process. Priests serve under the authority of their bishops and they are also more accountable to their parishioners.
