Anglicanism vs Roman Catholicism

Postby Folder Land » Tue Apr 03, 2012 7:44 pm

If you had to choose between Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism or death, what would you choose? I really don’t want to give my opinion after I hear your guy’s opinion. I can hypothesize that most of the folks on Nation states would go with neither because of the high rate of Agnosticism

Edit:
Well, I used to be an atheist when I first joined nationstates.net. I was raised a Roman Catholic but left. The main reason I joined my country's Anglican Church is because I agree with them more on current things. For one, I will NEVER recognize the current Roman Catholic Pope or any other pope as the leader of anything. Secondly, I don't believe anyone is infallible, especially the current Pope of that Roman Catholic Church.

I also fell that the Roman Catholic Church is joining the "We are Arminian, but we are going to sound like Calvinists to bring people in" bandwagon. I don’t believe that Roman Catholic church is the “one true church”.

Roman Catholicism, but one day the Anglicans will come back to us, once they're tired of gay marriage or whatever.

Seriously? I'd flip a coin, pick one of the religions. What do I care about telling the guy with the gun what he wants to hear?

I'm Roman Cathoic. So I would chose it; but Anglicanism is fairly close to Catholosism believe it or not. I believe in one God and the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church.

To the op: perhaps you should edit the opening piece then to generate some discussion/debate, because currently, there is really none: just which one would you pick.

High Church: more elaborate ceremonies, some are Anglo-Catholic tending in their beliefs;
Low Church: less formal, more Protestant in their practices and beliefs.

High Church are rather similar to Catholics in terms of services compared to their fellow Protestants, while Low Church are more similar to traditional Protestant lack of purdy rituals. Really just the side effect of the Anglican Church being put together without a backing ideology in the middle of religious conflict.
