I know that God knows what He is doing....it is just not easy having a family in which I am the only Catholic. I do pray that my family will be Catholic also someday. The more I study, the more I see how much some of the core beliefs are so different between Catholicism and Protestantism. Although we all believe in Salvation through the Blood of Christ.
All of the Orthodox have valid lines of Apostolic Succession, therefore their sacraments are all considered valid.Does the RCC recognize the Sacraments of other denominations as being valid?
But we do not generally recognize Roman Catholic sacraments. Although if a Roman Catholic converts to Orthodoxy, some churches (mainly the Greek Churches) will not re-baptize him or her, but receive him or her by Chrismation.
Thank you, DedicatedLittleFaith. I am happy for you that you're getting married!
Well, my husband was actually raised Catholic. But he didn't have any personal faith, and he feels it was Christians of the Protestant faith who gave that to him, when he was in his early 20's, when he first met me. So to him, the Catholic Church is something he left behind. He couldn't understand at all why I would be interested in it. It all started for me when God gave me faith in Jesus' Real Presence in The Eucharist. Then it took about 2 years until I finally became Catholic. Long story! But I am SO happy.
I do think being of one faith is the best, of course. I just have to wait and see what God has planned. One of my Priests said my husband is still Catholic!Since he was baptized as one. So hopefully, one day he will be back. He does have strong faith in Christ and is a good Christian man. I am very thankful for that. We have been married for over 20 years, so it troubles him that I have changed. I try not to make an issue of it. All I can do is pray and show love in everything.
What I would really like to know is, which Churches does the RCC consider to have a true Holy Eucharist?
It should be noted that while they are valid, receiving sacraments from these groups in normally considered illicit.The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, SSPX, and Polish National Church and a few others who have valid Episcopal ordination.
