HISTORY: First Catholic service for centuries to be celebrated in chapel of King Henry VIII

A bit old news but it's still relevant for both Catholics and members of the Anglican communion and various Protestant churches of all denomination to recognize what binds us together more than what divides us. And to recognize that THEY ALL CAME FROM JERUSALEM to ROME and to the WORLDWIDE CATHOLIC CHURCH! -CD2000

The first Roman Catholic service for more than 450 years is to be celebrated in the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace.

Archbishop of Westminster Cardinal Nichols will celebrate Vespers and the Bishop of London, Dean of the Chapel Royal, will preach in Henry VIII's chapel, built by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in the early 16th century but taken from Wolsey by the King and rebuilt.

Henry VIII broke with Rome and established the Church of England after Wolsey failed to secure his annulment [it was actually a 'DIVORCE' that's why Rome refused his request. (Britannica)] from Catherine of Aragon. Henry's third wife Jane Seymour gave birth to his only son Prince Edward at Hampton Court. His fifth wife Catherine Howard is said to haunt the palace, where she had faced accusations of adultery. The King married his sixth and last wife, Catherine Parr, at Hampton Court.

The Genesis Foundation and the Choral Foundation are working together to make the service possible, as the first Latin Rite of the Catholic Church to be celebrated since the 1550s at the Chapel Royal.

A spokesman described it as "an unprecedented coming together of the Catholic and Anglican churches on such an historically important site".

It's Imminent, Islam will Rule the United Kingdom unless....

The British Anglican Church has corrupted it's religion from the core by importing pagan practices such as homosexual consenting adults to be Ministers, women priests and worse ordained as bishops, married and divorced priests. As an anti-dote, Islam is offering an spiritual extreme alternative such as opposing homosexual union (not even allowing both sexes to legally marry them), women's rights, their role in public and strictly implementing religious piety.  While Islam is gaining its ground, UK's Prime Minister Cameron still cannot name it's enemy disassociating Muslim Extremists and Muslim Terrorists from ISLAM itself.

Church of England 'one generation away from extinction' after dramatic loss of followers

The Church of England has lost nearly two million followers in the last two years and is on the brink of "extinction", it has been warned.

The number of people in the UK who describe their beliefs as being Church of England or Anglican dropped from 21 per cent to 17 per cent between 2012 and 2014- a loss of around 1.7 million followers. The number of Anglicans in Britain is now thought to stand at around 8.6 million.

The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, has warned that unless urgent action is taken, the organisation is just “one generation away from extinction.”

The figures have been revealed as part of the NatCen’s British Social Attitudes Survey, the UK’s longest running poll of public opinion.

Over the same period, the poll found that the number of Muslims in Britain grew by close to a million making it the fastest growing religion in the UK. 4.7 per cent of Britons now describe themselves as Muslim, amounting to 2.4 million.

When asked about their religious belief, the survey found that the most common response was having no religion. 49 per cent of people do not describe themselves has having any belief.

Peter Brierley, a former Government statistician who advises religious groups, said of the new figures: “It is very serious for the Church of England and they know it.”

“The problem is that it has a lot of elderly members, but when they die off there aren’t enough younger people to replace them.”

The First Woman Bishop Soon!

The Church of England and its women priests! (The Telegraph)

The Apostate Fake Church of England which is ruled by the Queen of England has finally approved its first woman bishop after decades of struggle according to The Telegraph

The first woman priest  was approved by the General Synod in 1992 and the ordination took place later in 1994, breaking the long tradition of the Church of England to ordain only male priest, thus alienating it further with dialogue with the Catholic Church, whose supreme leader is the Pope, the Bishop of Rome.

The ordination of its first woman priest caused a deep dissent within its rank, from its clergy and its members crossing the Tiber River and asking the Bishop of Rome to accommodate them.

Since then, the good Pope Emeritus Father Benedict XVI created the Anglicanorum Coetibus which he himself would supervise, adhering to the teachings of the Catholic Church but retaining their Anglican Tradition.

How the Church of England separated from the Worldwide Catholic Church? It was through MARITAL INFIDELITY and UNCONTROLLED SEXUAL DESIRES of KING HENRY VIII.

Here is Wikipedia:

In 1534, King Henry VIII separated the English Church from Rome. A theological separation had been foreshadowed by various movements within the English Church such as Lollardy, but the English Reformation gained political support when Henry VIII wanted an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so he could marry Anne Boleyn. Pope Clement VII, considering that the earlier marriage had been entered under a papal dispensation and how Catherine's nephew, Emperor Charles V, might react to such a move, refused the annulment. Eventually, Henry, although theologically opposed to Protestantism, took the position of Supreme Head of the Church of England to ensure the annulment of his marriage. He was excommunicated by Pope Paul III.

In 1536-41 Henry VIII engaged in a large-scale Dissolution of the Monasteries, which controlled much of the richest land. He disbanded monasteries, priories, convents and friaries in England, Wales and Ireland, appropriated their income, disposed of their assets, and provided pensions for the former residents.

Thus the CHURCH OF ENGLAND is an APOSTATE CHURCH, which separated from the TREE, now being cut, teaches heretical teachings and one of them is the ordination of women priests and now a woman bishop.

Will Pope Francis dialogue with an apostate bishop?

That's something we are not hopeful.

How a Protestant spin machine hid the truth about the English Reformation

By Dominic Selwood
The Telegraph

if Catherine had borne Henry a son, everything would be different…

...May 23, is the anniversary of King Henry VIII’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon —­ the event which started the English Reformation.

In 2003, Charles Clarke, Tony Blair’s Secretary of State for Education and Skills, expressed strong views on the teaching of British history.

I don’t mind there being some medievalists around for ornamental purposes, but there is no reason for the state to pay for them.

In response, Michael Biddiss, professor of medieval history at Reading University, suggested that Mr Clarke’s view may have been informed by Khrushchev’s notion that historians are dangerous people, capable of upsetting everything.­­­­­

In many ways, Khrushchev was correct. Historians can be a distinct threat —­ both those who create “official” history, and those who work quietly to unpick it, filling in the irksome and unhelpful details.

Rulers in all ages have tried to control how history sees them, and have gone to great lengths to have events recorded the way they want. The process is as old as authority itself.

The result is that generations of people learn something at school, only to find out later that it was not so. For instance, children brought up in the communist countries of the 20th century have little idea of the indiscriminately murderous mechanics at the heart of their founding revolutions. More recently, in the United States, anyone young enough not to have lived through the two recent Iraq wars might, if they only read political memoirs, actually believe that the wars were fought to root out al Qaeda.

So what about England? Has our constitutional monarchy and ancient tradition of parliamentary democracy protected our history from political manipulation? Can we rely on what we are taught and told, or are there myths we, too, have swallowed hook, line, and sinker?

Where better to start than with that most quintessentially English of events ­— the break with Rome that signalled the birth of modern England?

For centuries, the English have been taught that the late medieval Church was superstitious, corrupt, exploitative, and alien. Above all, we were told that King Henry VIII and the people of England despised its popish flummery and primitive rites. England was fed up to the back teeth with the ignorant mumbo-jumbo magicians of the foreign Church, and up and down the country Tudor people preferred plain-speaking, rational men like Wycliffe, Luther, and Calvin. Henry VIII achieved what all sane English and Welsh people had long desired ­– an excuse to break away from an anachronistic subjugation to the ridiculous medieval strictures of the Church.

We are brought up to believe that Catholicism is, well, un-English

For many in England, the subject of whether or not this was true was not even up for debate. Even now, the historical English disdain for all things Catholic is often regarded as irrefutable and objective fact. Otherwise why would we have been taught it for four and a half centuries? And anyway, the English are quite clearly not an emotional race like some of our continental cousins. We like our churches bright and clean and practical and full of common sense. For this reason, we are brought up to believe that Catholicism is just fundamentally, well … un-English.
