religion roman catholic

Is it just called Roman Catholic? Or is it like a Muslim follows Islam. I know that being a Roman Catholic goes under being a Christian, so is the religion a Roman Catholic follows Christianity?

Comparative Religion - Roman Catholics

Well I was asked this question alot recently and I always answer that some other religion actually abide by them. But I just want to be more sure then I am now.
So tell me, is it a sin to permently tattoo our bodies in the Roman Catholic religion?

Hello,

I have never heard that at all; just heard it was sinful to mutilate yourself like cutting off your ears or nose etc.

Cheers,

Especially when it was the Romans who had Jesus killed. What would they know about preaching of Jesus when they were his persecutors? I don't care if they were supposedly converted. That doesn't take away what they did. The ultimate biblical crime and they were responsible for it.
Let's not forget that their messiah was also a judean jew. Nowhere did he say he was a catholic. So how can you say yours is the correct one?

Huh? Do you really not know the difference between the Roman empire and the Catholic Church. Did you never study any history of the Roman Empire or the Church?

It was the Roman Empire that crucified our Lord. It was not His Church that killed Him. Jesus' Church NEVER persecuted Him but remained faithful to His teachings. When Jesus was crucified the Church had not even formed. It formed at Pentecost and the Catholic Church were those persecuted and not those doing the persecution. How did you get so confused. Perhaps you are the victim of a false teacher or at best an ignorant one. God bless!

Is this why King Henry VII split from the Roman Catholic church to start the Anglican church? Did all the main leaders of England..i.e Chancellor etc need to be in agreement for the King to get the divorce?

First, it was Henry VIII (8th) not VII (7th).

Second, don't listen to have the people who comment on Yahoo Answers (like Anna) as they know as much (or less) about this than you do. I'm not picking on anyone, least of all you, just stating a fact.

No pope has ever, or will ever, grant a divorce because Jesus Christ made it clear that He was against divorce when He said "What God has joined, let no man divide."

Henry VIII first wanted an annulment and tried to state that he should have never been allowed to marry Catharine in the first place (Catharine being his brother's widow). However, The Church wouldn't allow the annulment for the very fact that Henry fought so hard for the right to marry Catharine (his brother's widow).

To the point, Henry changed his tune when the syphilitic king spread the disease to his wife can caused her to miscarry. So he wanted a new wife, because he was a terrible womaniser, and he wanted a male heir. Since the Church wouldn't grant his annulment, he decided to make his own church and said that the current English monarch should rule over the English bishops.

I'm doing a religion project
and i have to write down the rules that apply to this religion.

question: What laws/rules apply to this Christian Community

Matthew 22:36-39 states:

"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"

He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

All of the other commandments, laws, and rules are just applying these two commandments to everyday life.

With love in Christ.
