Ahem, this thread is about discussing/listing Catholic royals. The theological off-topic discussion, can it be taken elsewhere?

That wasn't aimed at you Danielane!I never oppose for opposing's sake but always with good reasons for me. But as you're not trying to change my mind, I won't try to change yours
Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was a Presbyterian, not a Catholic. She then converted to become a Lutheran.mirsada said:CP Mary of Denmark (was)

Layla, Presbyterians and Lutherans ARE Protestant.Layla1971 said:No she wasn't, she was Protestant.
Warren said:Layla, Presbyterians and Lutherans ARE Protestant.
Layla1971 said:Well, who knows these things! But, on ALL the news reports and articles about her, they've only said she was "Protestant" before becoming "Lutheran". So, I didn't know!
BTW, Sorry Von Shelesian!
We have the Church of England in England, and the Presbyterian Church in Scotland; like the Scots this church is a bit more dour. Mary comes from a Scottish background (remember her father's kilt at the wedding?) so her being Presbyterian should come as no surprise.pollyemma said:I've read in many different places that Mary was raised presbyterian. though, i guess a lot of people aren't too familiar with that term.

I really don't think there is even a loose relationship with Rome. When they split with Rome there really was no more association with Rome.....I think JP II's death was the first time in a long time that Orthodox religious leaders were in Rome (officially for a funeral of a Roman Catholic Pope).SpiffyBallerina said:There's a bit of a sticking point with the Eastern Orthodox religions (Russian, Greek, and such) because they are not considered protestant but they are not quite Catholic. After Vatican II, there seems to be more of an attempt by Rome to reach out to the Eastern Christian religions (by adding the very important "light" sayings and so on). The Eastern religions are essentially ethnic versions of Catholicism with a lose relationship with Rome.
(P.S. - Sorry if I didn't spell the religions correctly. I'm Roman Catholic and I don't usually write out the names of these religions. I don't mean any disrespect at all.)
In the 11th century the Great Schism took place between Rome and Constantinople, which led to separation of the Church of the West, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Churches of the East. There were doctrinal issues like the filioque clause and the authority of the Pope involved in the split, but these were exacerbated by cultural and linguistic differences.
The final breach is often considered to have arisen after the sacking of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204. This Fourth Crusade had the Latin Church directly involved in a military assault against the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople, and the Orthodox Patriarchate. The sacking of the Church of Holy Wisdom and establishment of the Latin Empire in 1204 is viewed with some rancor to the present day. In 2004, Pope John Paul II extended a formal apology for the sacking of Constantinople in 1204; the apology was formally accepted by Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople. (Many things that were stolen during this time: relics, riches, and many other items, are still held in various Catholic churches in Western Europe.
In 1453, the last of the Roman Empire (with its capital at Constantinople) fell to the Ottoman Turks. By this time Egypt had been under Muslim control for some seven centuries, but Orthodoxy was very strong in Russia; and so Moscow, called the Third Rome, became a major new center of the Church at that time.

Kalina practises the orthodox religion, her wedding was in Bulgaria for the orthodox rite.crisiñaki said:Margarita, Kyril, Kubrat, Konstantin and Kalina of Bulgaria and their families are all Roman Catholics, the only ortodox are Simeon and Kardam and his family.
The Queen Sofia came to Spain in the epoch of Franco, then the religion was a question of State, it was necessary to be a Catholic or be a Catholic. The topic of the orthodox religion was very polemic in its moment; and I am thinking about remembering that even at the time, in Spain only there appeared the images of the catholic wedding, but not of the orthodox one.Lady Jennifer said:IDid people make Queen Sophia of Spain's conversion from Greek Orthodox to Catholicism (sp? I'm Catholic as well but I don't know if I spelled that right ) a big deal?
Maybe a Civil one?Furienna said:Didn't they even have three weddings? One Catholic, one ortodox and then a third one?
