church of england catholic

Does being Catholic in England make you feel less English ? Possibly because the state religion is Church of England or the fact that a Catholic cannot be King or Queen of the country ?
Serious answers only

Not a bit. Catholics were English long b/f King Henry created the C of E.

Some of my friends have booked a catholic church so their daughter can be christened, they've sent out their invitations to friends and have just asked me to contact the 'Father' or vicar to let him know that they want a church of england service.

I've told them that I didn't think it would be possible as they are different religions but just wanted to check first. Thanks xx

One cannot book "a catholic church" for anything, they can probably book the parish centre for the function but the church itself cannot be rented out.
A catholic priest has no religious authority to perform an anglican ceremony.

I also want to know if the majority of the english people belonged to that church.

It used to be Catholic, but after the King slept with the Queens maid servant he was excommunicated from the Catholic Church and made up his own Church. Church of England. Which everyone was trying to get away from, till good ol Columbus discovered the Americas.

I know it probably depends on the city, size of church etc but an average idea would be helpful.

Is a donation also required? I've read between £100-£200 is the norm for this.

We would just like the wedding ceremony in the church, and the reception and evening do would take place in a hotel elsewhere.

Thank you!
Has anybody got married in Derby, England? Or nearby areas in midands??

It depends on the church and location, same as the US. A NYC church wedding is going to be much more expensive than a rural church.
Also, the church may require you to decorate with flowers as well.
Check into any pre-marriage classes the church may require before the nuptials.
Good luck!

Now that the pope has made way for Anglicans to convert easier into the Catholic church, are you considering it ? Do you think it is a good or bad idea ?

For those who thought it was rude of the Pope to offer, I offer a brief history:

In 2007, 400,000 Anglicans formally requested for the opportunity to rejoin the Catholic Church:
http://www.thefloridacatholic.org/rop/20 08_rop/2008_roparticles/20080710_rop_tra ditional_anglicans.php

The Catholic Church is just responding to this and other requests from Anglican groups and individuals. This is well thought out and planned pastoral concern and action.

There are already over 20 different Catholic Churches that make up the worldwide Catholic Church.

In addition to the Latin Rite (Roman) Catholic Church, the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches are in full communion with the Pope, and are part of the same worldwide Catholic Church.

Eastern Rite Catholic Churches include:

Alexandrian liturgical tradition
• Coptic Catholic Church
• Ethiopic Catholic Church

Antiochian (Antiochene or West-Syrian) liturgical tradition
• Maronite Church http://www.bkerkelb.org/
• Syrian Catholic Church
• Syro-Malankara Catholic Church http://www.syromalankara.org/

Armenian liturgical tradition:
• Armenian Catholic Church http://www.armeniancatholic.org/

Chaldean or East Syrian liturgical tradition:
• Chaldean Catholic Church
• Syro-Malabar Church http://www.smcim.org/

Byzantine (Constantinopolitan) liturgical tradition:

• Albanian Byzantine Catholic Church
• Belarusian Greek Catholic Church
• Bulgarian Greek Catholic Church
• Byzantine Church of the Eparchy of Križevci
• Greek Byzantine Catholic Church
• Hungarian Greek Catholic Church
• Italo-Albanian Catholic Church
• Macedonian Greek Catholic Church
• Melkite Greek Catholic Church http://www.pgc-lb.org/english/index.shtm l
• Romanian Church
• Russian Byzantine Catholic Church
• Ruthenian Catholic Church
• Slovak Greek Catholic Church
• Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church

Now into this beautiful mix of many cultures and traditions (but one shared doctrine), something like the Anglican Catholic Church will arise. Here is Pope Benedict's new Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedi ct_xvi/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_ ben-xvi_apc_20091104_anglicanorum-coetib us_en.html

Even Anglican primate Archbishop Rowan Williams wrote, “in the light of recent discussions with senior officials in the Vatican, I can say that this new possibility is in no sense at all intended to undermine existing relations between our two communions or to be an act of proselytism or aggression. It is described as simply a response to specific enquiries from certain Anglican groups and individuals wishing to find their future within the Roman Catholic Church.” http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.ph p?n=17440
