[edit] Saints

User Backnumber1662 may not like the idea of saints, but that is no reason to muck up an article. Fixed some edits. Morgaledth 02:16, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Catholic"

What is meant by the term "Catholic" as applied to this society? Some may think it means it is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church but that is apparently not the case. -- Beland 21:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

In an Anglican context, Catholicism usually means High Church Anglicanism or Anglo-Catholicism, that is, Anglicanism with vestments, ceremonies, and some theology not dissimilar to Roman Catholicism. This is opposed to, for example, Low Church Anglicanism, which is sparser in ceremony, vestments, et cetera. - Anon.

The word "Catholic" must be very carefully handled. The Church of England is the only Catholic Church in England, according to both its own formularies, and English Law. This must be respected. So too, however, must the desire of another denomination to be known as the "Roman Catholic" Church in England. Timothy Titus 12:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
It seems odd that a patron of this Anglican society, Lord Nicholas Windsor has been reputed received into the Church of Rome. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC).
