catholic church victoria

Please, I need simple but concrete answers from people who know about the subject (I’ve found many people who confuses Anglican with Protestant).

If you could clear my doubts, I would be more than thankful.

Victoria
If you can, enumerate.

I was brought up High church of England but am currently living in a predominately Catholic country. The main differences i have found are
1: Transubstantiation The Catholic Church believes in the literal transformation of the wine and bread. The C of E believes it is figurative.
2: Marian Worship (The worship of Mary) Is not part of the C of E
3: Catholics are not supposed to accept the host at a Cof E church but would be permitted by the Cof E . Anglicans are banned from accepting at a Catholic church by papal order.
4: All non Catholic churches are supposedly outside of the "true church" ie those that do not accept the infallibility of the Pope.

I am just an ordinary bloke so i hope i have the above correct and have no intention of insulting anyone if i have not.

A beautiful old Catholic Church named one of the EIGHT WONDERS OF KANSAS in 2008. If you are traveling and have a little extra time this church ...

The submission of this assignment must appraise the role and influence of religion to the current situation of abortion.
I have chosen an article from oct 08 that explains the bill reform. Here is the article;

12 October, 2008
Catholic opposition to the Victorian Government’s Abortion Law Reform Bill intensified Australia-wide this week as the controversial legislation moved towards a vote in the Victorian parliament – a clear confrontation between a State government and the Church.

In response to a Day of Prayer, to defeat the bill, called by the Archbishop of Melbourne, Archbishop Denis Hart, thousands of pro-life supporters packed Melbourne’s St Patrick’s Cathedral last Sunday, with the legislation, having been passed in the Victorian legislative assembly, due to be debated in the upper house

Archbishop Hart, in a rare presentation to the Australian media, vowed to defy the new law if it came into being: Catholic health care workers would not comply with the so-called reforms.

Catholic Health Australia’s chief executive, Martin Laverty, declared the bill would deprive Catholic health services of the ability to act in accordance with conscience.

The new laws tabled would give women open access to abortion up to 24 weeks into pregnancy.

And women in the later stages of pregnancy could also qualify, at a doctor’s discretion.

“If it passes, we will be put in an untenable position,” Mr Laverty said.

“The Bill provides a mechanism to remove our right to be different from others...our right to keep providing the Catholic maternity services we’ve offered Victoria since its beginnings. It may be taken away,” he said.

“The bill may breach Victoria’s Charter of Human Rights. It relies on a component in the Charter that exempts its application to abortion law. Legal opinion says the drafters were wrong to do so.

Legal opinion offered to Catholic Health Australia affirms the Bill breaches the Charter.”

“With the Bill mandating some health practitioners to act in contradiction of their conscience, staff in Catholic hospitals may face discrimination at law.

Under the legislation doctors with a conscientious objection to abortion would be required to refer a woman to doctor who didn’t. They would also be obliged to perform abortions in an emergency if necessary to protect the woman’s life.

Archbishop Hart said “I would say we can’t perform and we can’t refer ... we have nowhere to go.

“That is a firm, irrevocable position and I believe it is the only position that people of conscience can hold,” the archbishop said.

At one stage in the Day of Prayer vigil thousands from the congregation and others, singing hymns and praying, converged on the steps of the Victorian Parliament where spontaneous speeches were made.

The demonstration closed Melbourne’s Spring St for more than an hour

Faiths represented during the Day of prayer included Melbourne’s Anglican archdiocese, the Uniting Church, Presbyterian Church and Lutheran Church.

Archbishop Hart told the congregation “We are here as brothers and sisters ... we testify to the unique value of each human without distinction from conception to natural death.”

Catholic Health Australia represents the 15 Catholic hospitals that operate in Victoria, some of which have done so for more than a century.

Martin Laverty pointed out that over that time those hospitals had always worked in partnership with Victorian government and the Victorian community.

“They are centres of excellence in cancer, cardiovascular, trauma and, of course, also in the maternity care they provide,” he said.

“Our opposition to abortion is clearly known. Our hospitals are an integral part of Victoria’s health system, handling up to one third of births across the state, each year.”

“Catholic health providers contribute significantly to the State’s health system. In turn the system has respected our principles as Catholic providers.

“Given the massive scale of Catholic services in the wider health system, why should this change now?”

Dr Brigid McKenna, policy officer for the Sydney archdiocese’s Life, Marriage and Family Centre, has described the bill as “a terrible anti-life bill” which “would be likely to increase the rate of abortion”’

She added: “If passed, Victorian law will abandon vulnerable unborn human beings and their mothers.

“The law will also fail health care professionals by omitting a no-disadvantage conscientious objection clause for doctors, and compelling nurses to assist in a late term abortion against their conscience.

“Abortion is not ‘an ordinary medical procedure’. It is never therapeutic or healing or caring. Abortion only ever ends a human life and wounds human hearts.

“We should legislate for life, not death.”

The bill to give Victoria the most liberal abortion regime of any state has been supported by the Lower House (47-35 votes), with Premier John Brumby confident

Please do your own homework! You need to use your brain, not ours!

To have heard this history you must be of a certain age heritage and religion

That heritage and religion ruled the land with an iron fist (who can afford velvet gloves ?) for more than 2 centuries but has faded in the past decades .

The definition of a good Canadian is loyalty to the Empire and to the Sovereign . So says the Loyal true Blue and Orange Lodges the Masonic loges the protestants and the subjects of the Queen ( these were serious all business men and the women were worse)

The concessions of the Queen (Victoria) to the defeated French were seen as dangerous . They allowed for Catholic schools and the preservation of French in Canada . This was done because it was thought it would save having to defeat them again later

The public school system was to be the representation of the Protestant church ( that statement is laughable now ) and the Catholics would be allowed to collect property tax from those who claimed to be Catholic in order to establish a separate school system .They have retained their religious views and ideals to this day and preach loyalty not to the Soldiery but to the foreign powers of the Papacy

My Grandmother never caught the contradiction as she preached loyalty to the King in England but scorned the idea of loyalty to the Pope as he was a foreigner

My "book of Common Prayer" assured us all every Sunday that the bishop of Rome has no jurisdictions in these realms of England ( Is that statement of faith even in the new "book of Alternate services" ?)

Is the Catholic church still seen in any way as a dangerous 5th column out to steal our peoples away from the Queen and destroy all that we have fought for and built ?

_____________________________________

I ask this because I did the unthinkable today and went to church ( The Anglican church of Canada) ..... in a city - The Rev now appears to preach unity .

Is this a rural ( which tends to be a time warp) vs an urban feeling

Or am I just that far out of date ?

Or has there been a purposeful campaign to forget this portion of history because it is just unacceptable ?

Or is it a response to overwhelming immigration which has left "us" far more cooperative than ever before ? If so was Jack Webster right when he said to then Prime Minister Trudeau that he knew he could never break the resolve of the British persons in Canada and so he sought to water us down into insignificance by his immigration schemes ?

Am I even allowed to ask such questions ?
For the record --- I was raised in an educated by the Anglican church of Canada --

I left about a decade ago ( give or take) ---


So --- any and all who would like to point out my poor spelling and lack of grammatical skill now have a name to associate it with. It was neither the public nor the separate school system

LOL

The fate of a farm kid in a religiously run school LOL .... I wonder if they meant to create a complete nihilist pantheist ( yes I can merge those two seemingly contradictory ideas but I have written far far too much already

Yes the Catholic Church is still a dangerous group. In fact, any group that takes itself that seriously is dangerous. Resent history has proved this to be Fact!

My fiancee is Canadian and we would love to get married in either Victoria or Vancouver. I want to get married in a Catholic Church, but I don't know if my fiancee is OK with that--so we're looking into other options.

Where are some nice locations to get married in Victoria and/or Vancouver? I am looking for a place that can accommodate 100-150 guests, quiet and private, with beautiful ambiance and character. I love gardens and the outdoors, so perhaps an indoor/outdoor setting that allows guest movement? If we don't get to be married in a church this site will be used for the wedding and reception--so it would need to have accommodations for the ceremony.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I just need some examples to start with!
My style is traditional and elegant, so a location that matches this would be ideal.

The English Inn would fit your style! Very traditional and elegant looking. Haven't been there myself yet, but it is one of my top choices for Victoria and I thought of this place right away when I read your question.

In Vancouver, this place is my top pic but not sure if it is what you are looking for. (The ceremony is held on a heart shaped island! =D) Check out the pics! And good luck! =)
