Anglo-Catholicism

[NDIrish]

why?!

1 Corinthians 1:6-10:

6 As the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
7 So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime, in the day of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

That's why.

NDIrish, i won't post further as that would be breaching the rules of your forum, but i believe that a schism is necessary in order to preserve the one and holy church that Christ established before his ascension. Therefore one might say that what you regard as schism is in fact reversion to orthodoxy. Just a thought.

So you admit it!
You did separate and are not part of the Catholic Church.

An amusing thought at that...to think that Henry VIII's divorce was required for "a reversion to orthodoxy"! suuuuuurrrrre.....

According to CF rules, and more specifically to OBOB rules, this is the definition of the Catholic Church:

Welcome to the One Bread, One Body Catholic Forum. This is the place to discuss issues and topics relating to the Catholic Church---that is, Christians and churches who are united under the leadership of the Roman Pontiff, and who believe in Holy Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magesterium of the Church. All Christians are welcome and are invited to discuss issues with us. . . .

(Emphasis added)



These rules are excerpted from here:

Accordingly, in my view anyway, the following post, in implying that the “Roman Catholic church” (sic), i.e., that Church under the authority and leadership of the Bishop of Rome, is somehow not preserving Catholicism, is unacceptable, at least here in OBOB.





This thread is now under staff review. I am closing it in the interim, until other staff weigh in. Stay tuned . . .
