    Here are a few of the differences from the Rcc:

    - they are members of the Church of England.

    - Archbishop of Canterbury is similar to the Pope

    - married priests

    - priests in same sex relationships

    - looser parameters on marriage, contraception & abortion

    - no real authority or heirarcy "on paper" but the churches must be in "communion" with their 4 parts - howevever they have "no binding authority". the Rcc just state - pope, vatican, etc.

    - they have looser parameters on receiving Communion

    they are much more liberal

    they are know affectionately as Catholic Lite.

    As a individual who has been countless religions, i will inform you some rapid variations between those religions. because of the fact that anybody is already discussing mormons (LDS), i'll start there, i became into LDS the longest sixteen years. Mormons purely have faith the Bible is actual as long as this is translated properly. Which basically ALL religions have faith basically yet, the mormons of direction carry it countless steps forward, this is basically translated properly because it confirms or is of an identical opinion with their different doctrines and books. The LDS church is an evolving faith and stay politically maximum suitable. occasion...the LDS church does not enable blacks to hold the priesthood because of the fact they supposedly had the mark of Cain. God meant revealed that the curse became into lifted. Ask any LDS why they do no longer drink coffee or tea and that they are going to say the caffeine yet ever watched them drink coke, mountain dew or and so on. Mormons even have faith that we are ALL Gods and could sometime if we live worth adequate would be arising our own worlds like earth. In Romans it speaks of a church the place it says I bear them checklist that they have got a definite zeal for God yet no longer in accordance to His will, and so on in case you keep interpreting financial ruin 9 into financial ruin 10 you will see the correlation. there is an surprising internet site referred to as Mormons in Transition that has alot of supplies. The seventh Day Adventist are christians who notice Saturday because of the fact the Sabbath because it is scriptural and are additionally vegetarians and have alot of Revelation Seminars that are very informative on the tip cases. Protestants are non catholics. Catholics declare to descend from Peter because of the fact Jesus gave Peter the keys to the dominion, traditionally Catholics created the assumption in the Trinity in the time of the Council of Nicea, beforehand of the that folk have been one God believers having descended from Judaism. Methodists are a breakoff from the Catholic church. There are variations between religions and their doctrines which i don't have faith is God meant yet guy's unwillingness to purely take the Bible for what it says and stay it. we'd opt to take the areas we adore and discard the areas we don't rather than renounce to the Lordship of Jesus.

    Like their cousins the Episcopalians.....they can look and act like the Catholic Church, but don't have to follow the rules.

    Some call it "Catholic Lite"....a very good description.
