 | | Structurally Roman Catholicism is one of the world's most centralised religious faiths. | | | Within Roman Catholicism itself, debate on the subject now focuses on whether this statement is meant to invoke papal infallibility and raise the rule that women cannot be Roman Catholic priests to the level of an irreformable dogma of the Roman Catholic Church. | | | Catholicism, from the Greek katholikos (καθολικος), meaning "general" or "universal", is a religious name applied to two strands of Christianity. |

| | Catholicism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The term Catholicism, derived from the Greek adjective καθολικός (katholikos), meaning "general" or "universal", is widely understood to refer to the Church, governed by the Bishop of Rome and the bishops in communion with him. | | | Catholicism has two main ecclesiastical meanings, described in Webster's Dictionary as: a) "the whole orthodox Christian church, or adherence thereto"; and b) "the doctrines or faith of the Roman Catholic church, or adherence thereto." | | | However, other Churches that trace their historic episcopate to the apostolic succession — such as the Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, the Churches of the Anglican Communion, and the Old-Catholics — consider themselves to be branches of the Catholic Church. |

| | Anglo-Catholicism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The movement Affirming Catholicism is an example of the more progressive approach to Anglo-Catholic theology and practice. | | | From that time, through Archbishop Laud and the Caroline divines, up to the time of the Oxford Movement Tractarians, and the Anglo-Catholic Congesses, to the present day of Affirming Catholicism, there has always been a strong theological party within Anglicanism which has sought to stress apostolic continuity all the way back to the apostle Philip. | | | So, while the nineteenth-century Anglo-Catholic movement began partly as a reaction to latitudinarianism, secularism and Evangelicalism in the Church of England, the movement's heirs in the contemporary Church are far more diverse and in many respects more inclusive. |

| | Catholic Culture : Document Library : The Trouble With Anglo-Catholicism |
| | The modern resemblance between Catholicism and some sections of Anglicanism derives from the fact that the churches of the Anglican communion were influenced by a ritualist movement in the nineteenth century. | | | Genuine Catholicism does not involve adherence to types of ritual but acceptance of the successor of Peter as pope and head of the Church on earth. | | | However, Forward in Faith accepts the ordination of women as deacons, and it would be impossible therefore for this group to transfer to the Catholic Church. |

| | Anglo-Catholicism |
| | Anglo Catholicism has emphasized the doctrine of the incarnation, sacramental theology, and ecclesiastical polity. | | | At the same time less appreciation was given to the principles of the Anglican Reformation, and the movement became suspect in the eyes of many because of the large number of conversions to Rome out of Anglo Catholicism, especially that of John Henry Newman. | | | The Anglo Catholics sensed a real threat to the church rather than a help in this relationship with an increasingly secular state. |

| | The Oxford Movement: Its Contributions and Its Limitations, by Frank Gavin (1933) |
| | He is candidly acknowledging that the traditional positions on the Church's infallibility, and the Doctrine of Original Sin have been surrendered, and writes in a distinctly critical vein of the three or four decades of the recent development of intellectual Anglo-Catholicism. | | | Catholicism strongly emphasizes a three-fold focus of religious interest; on God, the fellowship of men and self. | | | They were then a new ethic; a revindication of the Church's place in relation to civil, secular, and ethical society; and a revindication of the religion of Catholicism. |

| | The culture of Emerson has also been the culture of a romantic Catholicism that a significant number of Anglo-American intellectuals have looked to as the only viable alternative to the rootless autonomy still celebrated by many as the promise of American life. | | | Catholicism, at least as metaphor, still serves as the demonic “other” of secular modernity. | | | As with Norton, Adams had no use for Catholicism as a living faith, and recoiled in horror at the immigrant Church overwhelming his beloved Yankee cities. |

| | I also object to the assertion that classical Anglo- Catholicism is “dead.” Greatly diminished, without doubt; but then, look how mightily the Oxford Movement and the reclamation of catholic doctrine and practice grew from a tiny handful. | | | It assumes that Anglo- Catholicism is inherently incomplete or defective, and that all Anglo-Catholics sense this and are looking for something to complete or fix it and themselves. | | | It therefore can seduce a great many Catholics into thinking that Catholicism is possible in an Anglican fashion: with all the spiritual comfort which all those sacred rituals can give, but without significantly curtailing the individual’s freedom in matters of faith and especially in sexual morality. |

| | Anglo-Catholic Social Theology |
| | One of the primary goals of Affirming Catholicism is the retrieval and reinsertion of the doctrine of the Trinity into the centre of Church life. | | | Affirming Catholicism is thus a movement of hope which honours the mystery of the Trinitarian fullness and believes this will always have unforeseen and liberating consequences for Christian living. | | | Since the Second World War there has been a decline of Anglican Catholicism in part because its causes have succeeded: the Church of England is more sacramental than it was and many of Catholicism's social concerns were met with the creation of the welfare state and growing post-war affluence. |

| | Anglo-Catholicism got me out of a potentially unpleasant dilemma by allowing me to shelve any decision on the Catholic Church's claim to have the fullness of faith. | | | I thought that an apt description, for I was leaving the almost-got-it-right Catholicism of the Anglicans for the fullness of faith to be found only in the Catholic Church. | | | My husband had strong opinions about Catholicism, few of them favorable, and he had made it plain that being married to a Catholic was not something he considered with enthusiasm. |

| | The American RC Church is rife with a “cafeteria Catholicism” far worse than the “pick and choose” attitude of Anglo-Catholics, which was at least motivated by genuine piety even if that piety did not measure up to Mills’s idea of genuine Catholicism. | | | And as for “Catholicism Lite”- well, this Friday will not be in Lent; but I am not allowed to eat meat anyway. | | | Similarly, polls tell us that the majority of Catholics do not believe that the consecrated elements of the Eucharist are the body and blood of Christ; but this does not alter the fact that the Catholic Church continues to authoritatively teach transubstantiation. |

| | Now, it has been stated by Roman Catholics that the Tudors had no intention of keeping catholicism, let alone the doctrine of the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Holy Sacrament. | | | These "reforms" were carried out to so grotesque an extent, in theory, that the new Church of England seemed to owe more to the heretics of Geneva than historic catholicism. | | | Many radical Protestant reformers had their way with the boy king and changed many things, mainly abolishing what were believed to be superstitious and repugnant "Romish" practices. |

| | An outpost of Anglo-Catholicism (which holds that Anglicanism is, with Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, an equal branch of the One Catholic Church), St. Mary's felt constrained to leave the Episcopal Church in 1976 when the national body voted to ordain women. | | | Studying the Bible as a young man, he "realized that the Bible teaches Catholicism." Zuk attended Mass between 1964 and 1969, in that latter year going regularly to St. Ferdinand's, San Fernando. | | | The officiant, Father John Barker, ascended the pulpit and preached the best sermon I had ever heard up to that time, filled with references to the Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, and the Sacrifice of the Mass. |

| | First, not all that glitters is gold: what happened in Anglicanism as Anglo-Catholicism became larger and more noticeable in church life was not the conversion of most Anglicans to Catholicism but rather a toleration of Catholic trappings and of Anglo-Catholic beliefs as opinion, not essential matters of faith. | | | Anglo-Catholics believed in community and continuity: continuity with medieval Christendom, with Catholicism, the universal Church. | | | Some Anglo-Catholics themselves fell for this and basically gave up their faith while settling for a place in the English (and American) mainstream. |
