* The doctrine of Seven Sacraments affirmed 1439
Okay guys: It appears that you do not know what the word "sacrament" means. So here is the meaning.
In order to qualify as a sacrament, the Roman Catholic Church states that it must meet the following three criteria:
a) the external, that is a sensibly perceptibly sign of sanctifying grace,
b) the conferring of sanctifying grace,
c) the institution by God or, more accurately, by the God-Man Jesus Christ. Thus, sacraments are not merely a symbol, but are believed to actually confer "sanctifying grace" upon the recipient.
The Roman Catholic Church believes that all of their seven sacraments were instituted by Christ Himself.

1) Baptism, which the Roman Catholic Church teaches removes original sin while infusing it with sanctifying grace.
-
As long as we are in the flesh we are separated from God. Baptism does not remove this state of existence.
Romans 3:
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past,
-
Outward sign of Grace within is a false theology as it is taught. Grace within is the baptism of the Holy Spirit not the baptism of repentance. The church blurs the lines of what is being stated. Water baptism is not the baptism of Jesus nor is it an outward sign. If a person is baptized in the Holy Spirit it shows in who they are from then forth.
Acts 1
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Water baptism has nothing to do with it.

-

2) Penance, in which one confesses his/her sins to a priest.
-
Penance is not what is meant by the words of Christ Jesus. The word used is μετάνοια - metanoia. This is a change in the mind. Not confession or reconciliation.
Luke 15:
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
-
Luke 5:21
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
-
So the Church in Rome establishes itself as God but is not God. Jesus is God therefore can and does forgive sin. This is because of metanoia, a change of heart/mind, not because of confession or baptism.
-
Confessing our sins to one another is correct the offices as set up by the church in Rome is an addition to scripture.

-

3) The Eucharist, considered the reception and consumption of the actual body and blood of Christ.

Transubstantiation the eating blood and flesh of a human is added by the church in Rome and most likely (without further time consuming research) comes from one of the many ""feasts"" that Christians were admonished to not participate. The Roman church has be well known to alter and absorb traditions of the area they exist, just renamed the time and feasts or celebration to align is someway with cherry picked bible verses and obtuse exegesis.
-
The word "is" was and should be today understood to be the word "represents".
For example in Mattew 13:37-39 Jesus taught: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels”.
Jesus uses for of 'to be' (is and are) to mean “represents” or “symbolizes”.
The sower is the Son of man, meaning of course, that the sower represents the Son of man. tares and good seed do not turn into children the teaching is ridiculous to the point of absurd.

-

4) Confirmation, a formal acceptance into the church along with special anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Confirmation is to join and agree to the beliefs. This is completely unbiblical. Either a person is or is not Christian. There is no conferring of the Holy Spirit by a confirmation process nor by the baptism of water..

John 20:22
After he had said this, he breathed on the disciples and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

Being a Christian
The baptism in the Holy Spirit is more than classes and belonging to a group. It is a full dependence on the Spirit for guidance and strength in all circumstances. As Jesus stated by every Word of God not by bread.
"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control" (Galatians 5:22).

-

5) Anointing of the sick, performed by a priest using oil, anoints the sick person´s forehead and hands with oil; associated not only with bodily healing but with forgiveness of sins. When performed on a dying person it is called Extreme Unction (last rights, final anointing).
-
James 5:14
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
and
The oil doesn't heal, Jesus does.
Nowhere is the office of priest given to a certain few.

-

6) Holy Orders, the process by which men are ordained to clergy.
-
About 200 A.D. two of the church's leaders, Hippolytus and Tertullian, revived the notion of a "special priesthood," with that title to be worn only by the clergy. By the end of the fourth century that office had been formalized, and the "laity" accepted second-class status in ministry.

-

7) Matrimony, which provides special grace to a couple.

The marriage bond is sacred.

Catholic Churches all over the world recognize the pope as their supreme leader. For many years, the Roman Catholic Church was dominant in England. Then England went through that period in the late Middle Ages where it became a very dominant nation with a powerful navy and rich colonies in the New World supplying it with wealth. The British leadership didn’t like being subservient to the pope and the Roman Catholic Church who was seen as an old world lapsed power, so they wanted a way to break off from the Roman Catholic Church without causing too much upheaval within their own populace. So they came up with the Church of England (Anglicanism) and they referred to this new religion as ‘reformed Catholicism.’ But all it really is, is Catholicism minus the pope and minus the Vatican’s authority, right? There’s still all that pomp and ceremony, phony rituals and bizarre rites of passage associated with Catholicism, right? But they have their leader, ‘the Archbishop of Canterbury’ and also the reigning British monarch is supreme leader of the Church of England but this was all just to replace the authority of the pope with British authority, right?

Cool question!

Yes, I think you've just about hit it right on the nose.

Except I do believe that King Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife and the Pope at the time was adamant on him not getting a divorce of course it was much better than what he did before - behead his wife.

Anyway, Henry's scribes and advisers reminded him that he was the KING and that he could change anything he wanted . . . and so he did - by the way he did get that divorce.

But the Church of England wasn't that much different from the Roman church, except she had no Pope and the break from Rome made the Archbishop of Canterbury the spiritual head of the Church of England and the King became its secular head. Henry VIII authorized the archbishop to fire the surplus clergy and to start the process of consecrating bishops to fill any vacancies. Therefore, he gave the Archbishop of Canterbury the task of translating the liturgy from Latin into English. The first part to be done was the Great Litany, a national prayer of repentance and deliverance.

Be Blessed:-)

Our discussions of the relationships between laws, community standards, moral attitudes, and codes of ethics reveal a continuum where each concept underpins the other, and where the punishment for misuse varies according to the level of promulgation. Perhaps in some ways we can also see a progression or movement of guidelines where the community comes to believe that generally accepted standards need to have "teeth" added to their expectations so as to improve enforcement. Within each category of guideline there is a degree of tolerance that blurs the edges between what is right and what is wrong, and which encourage the boundaries to move.
The United States of America was founded on the basis of the tolerance of religion, being populated in some part by those refugees from Europe who were not prepared to conform to the rigid, formal expectations of worship and catechism of the denominations of the Roman Catholic Church and Church of England. While the puritans themselves displayed certain lack of tolerance in dealing with their peers, the founding fathers built into the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights elements that establish tolerance as one of the major tenets of life in this country. The concepts of "innocent until found guilty", "giving the benefit of doubt", and the acceptance of evidence to establish guilt "beyond reasonable doubt", provide gray areas in application of law that have a profound effect on our way of life.

As contrasted with some other religions, the major religion of the United States preaches forgiveness, and provides the beatitude that when "struck on the cheek, turn the other cheek". Tolerance is a form of forgiveness where we attempt to put ourselves into the perpetrator's shoes. If we strayed that far over the line of lawfulness, would we not want to be forgiven?

Tolerance, according to my MS Word supplied thesaurus has equivalencies in open-mindedness, impartiality, liberality, allowance, variation, magnanimity, and lenity. Tolerance is a part of our lives in many of our daily living experiences. While there are community standards for our activities, we apply tolerance in our dealings with others daily. Two communicating people are rarely so alike that there are not things that we tolerate so that we can live together -- within certain limits. We tolerate that our friends and associates do not have the same accent or dialect as ourselves, that their eating habits -- both in the manner of eating and the things we eat -- are different, and that our beliefs differ. If we could only base friendship on the commonalty of some metrics of our daily activities, then we might find ourselves with a very small number of friends and colleagues. Even in marriage there is tolerance for the time spent in the bathroom or on the telephone, for the different ways of doing things. Tolerance is the realization that simply because something is different, does not mean that it is wrong. The emerging philosophy that we need to learn to live in a diverse society will only come to fruition if we are tolerant. But have far does our tolerance have to stretch? Are there limits beyond which we can go no further? Do these limits change with time and with changes in our environment?


Our Expectations of Tolerance
Consider a few cases where tolerance has an impact on the way in which we view both the law and act. An examination of automobile speed limits throughout the world reveals that there are three major zones of speed, that might well be classified as "slow" (commonly used for urban areas), "moderate" (for rural areas), and "fast" (for the well designed highway or autobahn). The discriminating speed limits approximate 30 mph and 60 mph in most countries. Why then are the speed limits in the USA set at 25 mph and 55 mph? Every driver believes that there is a tolerance in measuring speeds so that they will not be pulled over for exceeding the speed limit by 5 mph, since there is a question of the accuracy of radar units or the ability of a police officer to precisely judge a driver's speed by following behind. Thus though our official speed limits are 5 mph less than those enforced in other countries where there is not a strong belief in giving the accused the "benefit of the doubt". In 1995-1996 the upper speed limit in the US has been changed twice -- once to 65 mph and then to a speed at the discretion of the local (state) authorities. The first move was the acceptance of the realization that most drivers were already driving in excess of the limits, and thus the move to 65 mph was an acceptance of reality. The later move was a change to allow community standards to prevail and to tolerate variations in opinion of "safe speeds". Until the mid-1960s road intersections in the United Kingdom were primarily controlled by a "STOP" sign, the "YIELD" being generally used where two highways merged. Until that time the British policeman rigorously enforced the requirement to come to a complete STOP in an intersection. The lack of respect for the STOP sign and the general motorist's use of a "rolling STOP", combined with the need for the law enforcement personnel to attend to more important problems, eventually forced the government to replace the majority of STOP signs with YIELD signs. The widespread disregard for the law could have overwhelmed the courts if the law were to be enforced rigorously. In both cases practice, dissatisfaction with the law, and tolerance of action led to the change in the law.
Another common example of our tolerance is the littering law. As we travel down our roads we see signs that say "NO LITTERING, Maximum fine $200". We rarely hear of anyone actually prosecuted for littering, except where the case is flagrant -- such as dumping household garbage, or allowing garbage to blow off the back of a pick-up truck. We tend to be a little bit better in environments where we are present on a regular basis, or where there are others to see us. This is generally the areas where we walk, perhaps from the parking lot to our office -- with one exception -- the disposal of cigarette buts! Obviously we are much more tolerant of these tiny pieces of flotsam than we are of other discarded articles. Is size a factor in our tolerance?

Dude, you rumbled on like 20 pages front and back!
You must consider the people around you. Once you go talking, there's no chance for them to leave. You are the kind of person whom holding another person's hand while you were talking.

Cut yourself a slack. Ease up! life is much more beautiful if you take it a little easier.

Thats right, during the black plague of Europe and Asia, the Roman Catholic church, struggling to maintain authority, decided to spread a vicious rumor about how the Germanic Jews poisoned the water supply, creating the black death? Not so nice huh?

That's not true. They didn't KNOW what caused the Black Plague.
However, it was the Roman Catholic church that put a STOP to the Plague by using quarantine and cleansing rituals described in the Old Testament of the Bible!
