Jan 19, 2012 - You guys really do have a total belief you are right - LOL - how can people support a church that loves Nazi's, buggers children, abuses children, is corrupt, has a Nazi as its leader and is hypercritical to the core ?? You see whichever way you look......York Minster is Church of England not Church of Rome - Protestant :-) - each to their own

Jan 20, 2012 - @HappyJack269 .... when all else fails, protestant deflection...truth is all men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God...or is that line from one of the bible books Luther the jew-hating unfaithful priest deleted from the canon...oops...LOL...ya cant win...right is right and wrong is wrong...and btw...the founder of my church is Jesus Christ...not stupid drunken unfaithful, jew hating, murderous and did I mention lecherous and syphilis ridden "King Henry VIII". LOL

HappyJack269 Says:

Jan 22, 2012 - Rock on Henry !!!!! - There is falling and falling huh? Falling is one thing - buggering childrens lives up sexually and mentally is another. . . As you say - all men have sinned - just Henry had what it took to remove superstition, smells, bells, bongs and gongs - why do you guys need all that to celebrate Communion huh ?? I read no account of all that in the bible - why all the gold and silver in your churches - just a plain wooden alter is fine, why all the rich garments ??

krPeter2010 Says:

Jan 22, 2012 - the anglican church is just one of many 16th century made up religions.

HappyJack269 Says:

Jan 24, 2012 - You got to admit - Anglican Chant is more - rounded and mysterious than plainchant - which is divine in its own right. So, my Catholic friend - again what's the big deal with mass ? Why not None, Sext, Prime, Vespers, Matins etc ?? and why the Garments . . . can't simplicity just do ? Do you really believe in Transubstantiation -? I don't - I prefer the memory but ? I try not to dislike Catholics - but you're a bit - extreme - we CoE are not so - we are right - defensive ? 

krPeter2010 Says:

Jan 25, 2012 - I prefer Rachmaninoff...lol...the garments are Roman street clothes which belie the age of the faith and Fr Cranmer wanted simplicity because he was trying to revert to a more privitive form...unfortunately his 16th century scholarship regarding the early church was very poor...he idealized something that had no precident in history...he simply 'made up' a religion...as did a few back then...One should not take what they invented seriously, however.

HappyJack269 Says:

Jan 30, 2012 - So - why do you need Roman Street Clothes ?? Why was Cranmer poor - it can't simply be because it had no precedent in history - of course it had - it was based on the Gospels - and humility - Catholics always pull out the - we're older than you card - true, however, the protestant religion recognises humility in its teaching, its based on the same thing, they invented nothing, just reformed the way of thinking through the ten articles into a more pure and simplistic ethos -

Feb 13, 2012 - In these dark days it's about time Christians of ALL denominations pulled together and stood together - and stopped this ridiculous infernal bickering! We all believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savioiur and our God.

HappyJack269 Says:

Feb 18, 2012 - True - but some of us get sick and tired listening to the Catholics preach about the failings of the Protestant Church, when, if they read the teachings of Cranmer through the ten articles of religion, they might understand its differences, and the key words, humility and reform, rather than opposite ends of the spectrum. How can a Protestant Religion take a religion seriously that has a brutal track record in Child Abuse, supported, or were seen to support the Nazi movement?

lollyclan Says:

Feb 18, 2012 - I understand what you are saying. I've been both, RC and Protestant but the ill-feeling of one group toward the other is the direct reverse of what Jesus told us to be. There will always be faults on both sides because we're all human and are all full of flaws. If we all just look to Jesus and not judge, as He commanded us, we'd be truly spreading His light to the world. I have decided long ago to be a "non-denominational" Christian - Jesus is enough. God bless, Lolly x

Feb 18, 2012 - Hi HappyJack, I just posted a message in reply to yours but forgot to hit "Reply" so it's just sitting there directed to no-one. Sorry! Silly me.. Lolly

Feb 19, 2012 - Cramners articles of religion are actually 39 and not 10. Just want to point out that it was the short reign of Edward VI where there was much desecration of churches. If he had lived longer and had children then anglicanism as we know it would not exist. Elizabeth went for a compromise and restored many fine churches. She initially wanted religious tolerance but it was only after a papal bull against her life that things changed. Rome shot itself in the foot on this one.

HappyJack269 Says:

Feb 29, 2012 - What a surprise - Rome made a mess of things again. Rome - the mighty Pope - the Mighty St Peters - nothing to do with humility, purity and the worship of Jesus, a symbol of power. An organisation that protects child molesters - proven time and time and time again in Ireland and the UK - an organisation that tried to be-friend the Nazi's, an organisation that wrongly believes it is always correct - Cramners articles of religion were reform to a pure, humility, and honesty that was required.

Mar 26, 2012 - Dear HappyJack269,Yes, the Church has made mistakes in the past - plenty, you would agree - but these do not compromise her divine foundation and character.And you really ought to do a bit more reading, which would prevent any future lamentable generalizations of the kind your have recently written.

dmnilsen1234 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Again, to HappyJack269,The Catholic Church certainly contains saints and sinners. However, it has never been the policy of the Church to protect child molesters, and she also quite craftily opposed the Nazi regime in ways for which she was best suited. Note, for example, the great efforts of Pope Pius XII to protect Jews wherever he could. This is all on record.

dmnilsen1234 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Lastly, one would be hard-pressed to find a better example of pride than Archbishop Cramner - who thought that the 1500-year old Church had gotten it wrong and that he had gotten it right. One cannot judge his intentions, but only his effects, which were lamentable, and led to the brutal persecution of the Catholic Church in England, and more so in Ireland.

May 20, 2012 - As others have commented, the Church of England is reformed Catholic, not Protestant. I can only assume that the poster of this recording isn't English, and doesn't know what he's talking about.
