My anglican friends consider themselves the true Catholic church. They will say "Rome left us, not the other way around." Now, some churches will be more high church than others. Some will be so high church that they are really what's known as "Anglo-Catholic", basically Catholic in every regard except they don't follow the Pope. You might have been to an Anglo- Catholic service.Originally Posted by Jim Chabot

The Anglican church is not protestant. Never has been. The only thing protestant about it is the fact that Protestantism was used to justify Queen Elizabeth rule. It was really only Protestant because it was not Catholic because they disagreed with the Pope. Like Susan said they are pretty much Catholic except for the Pope.

Yeah, that does seem to be the thought process. I can't help it, to me it's hilarious. It isn't possible to be Catholic, unless you are actually Catholic. One cannot be Catholic without the Pope, it's kind of a hard and fast rule over there, papal infallibility, tradition, apostolic succession and all that.
Everybody else is protestant. Especially the Anglicans because they are protestant on the basis that the King of England wanted to commit sin. The pope wouldn't grant him an annulment, so old Enery the Eighth decided to take over the church, declare himself pope and grant his own divorce, annulment or whatever. I can't help but to laugh. I suppose that it might be the best way for them to forget about their origins?
For come strange reason no one wants to admits to being protestant even when it is something to be proud of. I've even heard Baptists claim that they aren't protestant because they can trace their origins back to the first church, but somehow strangely hold to the five solas that they didn't inherit from Luther.
Then again I suppose that the Catholics are really the first protestants, since they claim that the Orthodox church left them.
I had better quit because this is the easy going fun thread and I don't want to ruin it.
It's just way too funny though.

Yeah, I can make my head spin trying to figure it all about but then give up when the headache starts.

I hear ya there!
At the great risk of getting us kicked out of our nice cozy corner I have to admit that over the past few days I've been forming a thought. I've been musing on the possibility that many denominations, no church with any real claim to anything, and no cohesiveness on the upper muckety muck leadership level, could possibly have been the plan all along. Kind of a tower of babel sort of thing. The Israelites had pretty much centralized, consolidated and codified the "god business" into their greedy little hands. Perhaps the only way we could truly be a kingdom of priests, is that God had to confuse our theological languages?
Sometimes I think that I think too much though.

Just read that Saul of Tarsus' possible Roman name could have been either Gaius Julius Paulus, Marcus Antonius Paulus or L. Aemilius Paulus. That's another piece of mental flotsam running around in my memory banks for posterity.

Actually I find philosophy quite fun. Most people I talk to hate it because they seems to like stuff to be rigid and concrete and I find that way to boring and does not allow me the freedom to express what I feel or how I think. They always seem to say don't you find anything concrete and my response is pretty much what do you think is concrete.
"Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek."
Concrete is a mixture of Portland Cement, lime, aggregate and admixtures. It is a versatile building material with many uses, including driveways, walks, house foundations and even kitchen counters.

I must had too many bad experiences with philosophers. In my experience it was usually "believe my way or else you are an idiot." I can't take that so I just avoid it all.
