Church of England was RETURNED to Roman Catholicism under Queen Mary and did not separate again until Elizabeth I (and not because she wanted a divorce).

Excellent.

The sad thing is that this is a reasonable discussion but it has nothing to do with the thread. It's an educational article worthy of discussion.

Please refer to post 29 in response to your statement to me under another thread which read:

"Of course, for a Roman Catholic, there's one very big difference between the Catholic Mass and the 1979 BCP Rite II: the round white thing on the altar in the Episcopalian church is a piece of bread; the round white thing on the altar in the Catholic church is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ."

I do owe you an apology for not sticking to the topic of your thread. Forgive me.

The subject of the Eucharist is a sore spot, because so few take part in it in actuality. What really hurts is that the reason why they don't is because they've been led astray by certain historic figures who've turned their personal philosophy into their follower's liability.
