Q: How did the protestant reformation impact on christian churches and the catholic church today?
what impact has been made to the catholic church and the protestant churches... today?
A: The biggest impact that the Protestant reformation had was in commerce. Since the protesting countries stopped arguing religion, they become cognizant of the economy. England introduced banking, other countries introduced new economic concepts. Catholic countries stagnated. You can still see this effect in the economies of Catholic and Protestant countries. I am fuzzy on the concepts, but you can look it up. It was basically an economic reformation.
Q: How did the Protestant Reformation influence the Scientific Revolution?
Scientific Revolution/Protestant Reformation--how did the Protestant Reformation influence the Scientific Revolution in Europe
All I really need is a thesis. I can find the rest out I just need something to work with.
A: Before the Protestant Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church was the ultimate authority regarding all thought and it was considered infallible. When Martin Luther questioned the authority of the church it cast doubts on its infallibility. This paved the way for alternative thinking.
Q: How did the nazis deal with catholic and protestant churches?
How did the nazis deal with catholic and protestant churches?
And how did the german public react to it?
A: It is only right to place the Jews first on the list of the Nazis' victims. The 6,000,000 murdered Jews (1,500,000 of them were children) represented two-thirds of all Jews in Europe and one-third of all Jews worldwide.
However millions of Catholics and other Christians were also killed. No one knows exactly how many. I've seen claims of up to 42,000,000 but I could not find documentation for this number.
One example, over 6 million Poles perished during WWII. That was 22% of the population of the country. Three million were Jews. Most of the rest were Catholics.
Two of the most famous Catholics who died in the concentration camps are:
Saint (Sister) Teresa Benedicta (Edith Stein) died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz on 9 August 1942. http://www.ewtn.com/faith/edith_stein.htm
Saint (Father) Maximilian Kolbe was a Polish priest who died as prisoner number 16770 in Auschwitz, on August 14, 1941. http://www.auschwitz.dk/Kolbe.htm
Also remember most the the allied military dead were Christians.
A Soviet KGB plot to implicate Pope Pius XII and the Catholic Church with the Nazis in the Holocaust has recently been uncovered. See these articles:

Q: What is the protestant church's stand on a second marriage?
I married a catholic guy 4 years back. The marriage didn't even last 2 days, but I never got a divorce. I am now getting one and will be free in 2 months. Can I marry in a church again? I am a protestant though. Will the church agree to this? What if he comes and creates a scene at my wedding?
A: The gospel and the Bible mentions marriage and divorce. You can get married again if your spouse has cheated or died. There are also other cases like abuse and so on that is accepted as well. This is to go for all Christians. I don't like to separate us. Peter set out one Church under Jesus' guidance. Church meaning one body. We all share the same wonderful God and Lord. Congrats on finding love again! Your ex should not make a scene. He's not marrying you, the Lord is. God Bless!
Q: what's the difference between a protestant bishop telling you to repent and be baptized and a Catholic one?
As in, what's the difference in you sitting in a Protestant church listening to the preacher preach that the Kingdom of Heaven is nigh at hand, and that you repent and be baptized in the name of the Lord. And sitting in a Catholic Church hearing the same thing.
Why is one right and the other not?
what do you mean it's not in there?
A: Because the Catholic priest will not say that to you. If you are raised as a Catholic, you were baptized as an infant. Which is not what God told us to do. He says we must repent and be baptized. He also says baptized by immersion, not by the sprinkling that Catholics do on babies. A baby does not need to be baptized because they are born without sin. You need to turn your life around and be baptized as soon as you realize the correct reason for doing it.
Q: What is the exact difference between a Protestant and a Catholic?
I heard that Protestants are against buying your faith.
I am also a Protestant.
A: They are different sects of Christianity.

Q: What happened during the Protestant inquisition?
Which Protestant sects were involved? Did they kill a lot of Catholics? Did the Protestant inquisitors also persecute other Protestants of different denominations?
A: Born about 1553 in a leading Protestant family of York, Margaret married a wealthy tradesman, John Clitherow, in 1571. Three years later, she became a Roman Catholic, although her husband remained Protestant. In March 1586, when she was in her early thirties, she was arrested for harboring Catholic priests. She refused to plead guilty or innocent, lest her children and husband be compelled to testify against her. The penalty for refusing to plead was to be crushed to death under nearly half a ton of weights. Even her Protestant neighbors respected her and refused to testify against her.
Why did Margaret Clitherow turn to the Catholic faith, especially in Elizabethan England? Not because of birth or indoctrination, nor because she was hoodwinked by superstitious, semi-pagan, idolatrous beliefs. For Margaret, the Church was an institution with historical continuity to the Apostles and the incarnate Jesus Christ:
"I am fully resolved in all things touching my faith, which I ground upon Jesus Christ, and by him I steadfastly believe to be saved, which faith I acknowledge to be the same that he left to his apostles, and they to their successors from time to time, and is taught in the Catholic Church through all Christendom, and promised to remain with her unto the world's end, and hell-gates shall not prevail against the same faith; for if an angel come from heaven, and preach any other doctrine than we have received, the Apostle biddeth us not believe him."
Margaret was convinced that a mere change at the top, such as Henry VIII envisioned and Elizabeth was establishing with finality, actually constituted a massive betrayal of Christ's Church.
On Annunciation Day (March 25) 1586, as the weights crashed down on the heavy oak door that covered her, as her ribs could be heard to crack, Margaret said, "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Have mercy on me." Her body was left under the door and weights from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., then stuffed secretly in a rubbish heap.
I have yet to encounter stories of the English Carthusians and Bridgettines or of Margaret Clitherow or John Forest in the pages of any standard textbook covering the Reformation in England. They shed a different light on the "glory" of the English Reformation.
This happens to be the most infomative investigation
on the Protestant inquisition that I can retrieve at this
point in time Bugoy.
Great question.
Interesting subject.
Q: Can I have a catholic priest and a protestant minister officiate my wedding?
I was raised Catholic and my future husband was raised Protestant. We will be getting married at a chapel and I was wondering if we can have both a Catholic priest and a Protestant minister officiate our wedding. Have people done this? I'd love feedback. Thanks.
A: Many years ago my sister married a catholic. The wedding was in our home church with our current minister officiating (we are Baptist) but a catholic priest was asked to "bless the wedding" with a prayer. It was quite nice, and, as my mother said to the few church members who objected, newlyweds need all the blessings they can get! Anyway, you will probably want to select one to be the primary officiant, and then have the other say a prayer or read a scripture. Since you are the bride and you are catholic, I would think the priest would be the primary. Talk to officiants and they will be able to give you more information.
Q: Can someone just be a Protestant and not under any of the denominations?
I understand that there are many different denominations under Protestantism, but can someone just be a "Protestant" in general? Or do they have to be a certain denomination of Protestantism?
A: There are churches that are called non-denominational, I dont go to one and i dont know that much about them but i have a friend who goes to one.
To answer your question yes, if your looking for a specific name for it then i dont know anything besides just saying Christian
Q: What is the significance of this warning from Revelation and does it relate to the Protestant Bible?
I warn everyone who hears these prophetic words in this book; if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book and if anyone takes away from the words in this prophetic book, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city described in this book
This passage is at the end of Revelation. What significance does it have and does any of this significance relate to the Protestant version of the Bible?
A: Just more phony Bologna
you mean the same unbiblical "apocrypha that was found with the Dead Sea Scrolls and all 73 books of the bible
Q: How does the Protestant Church celebrate Shrove Tuesday?
What services do they have on at the C.E churches? How does the usual Protestant family celebrate Shrove Tuesday?
A: Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Tuesday, is more a custom than a religious observance. Many Protestants receive the ashes on ash Wednesday, and that is fine because it is not a sacrament.
