Isn't the Church of England a form of Catholicism? I thought that there were three types of Catholicism: Anglican, Roman and Orthodox. [Geopelia] Isn't Orthodox the Greek Church? The worship in most English village churches in the forties followed the Book of Common Prayer services (now superseded, I think). The King James Bible (KJV) was used for the Lessons. But there was "High" Church, I think called Anglo Catholic, which apart from having services in English not Latin, and not being headed by the Pope, might as well have been Catholic. There was all that incense, genuflecting and crossing themselves, even Confession. Fine for those who preferred it, of course. I think they were called the Cowley Fathers, in Oxford. ------------ I thought that word "Protestant" technically referred to the Protest of Martin Luther. I have never heard of King Henry the Eighth "protesting". Henry "kicked butt", he burnt and beheaded. Henry never "protested". ----------------- Luther was protesting against abuses in the Catholic Church, selling indulgences etc. Henry VIII wanted his marriage to Catherine of Aragon ended. (It's a long story, Google it.) He ended up Head of the English church, but still following many of the Catholic practices. It seems very sad that there should be so much animosity between >the two beliefs, especially in Ireland. ----------------------- I haven't completely understood. When they say "Irish Catholic," are they referring to the Anglican Church? Or are they referring to one of the derivatives of Lutherism. ---------------------- I think most people say Irish Catholic to distinguish between the Irish and the Catholics of other races, and the Irish Protestants. There are Irish Protestants in Eire of course, but far fewer than in Northern Ireland. > It's not for me to criticize either church, but if I had to pick one I'd > be > C of E. --------------- Sure. It ends up being about the people you most want to be with. Makes sense. ---------------- And the religion of one's ancestors, back to the Reformation. Before that, they would all have been Catholics, of course. In our family, "Chapel" wasn't considered respectable! But the Methodists have some lovely hymns. > I've been agnostic for years now, but still like the old hymns etc. That is the most sensible criteria for any religion that I have ever heard |:-) The second most sensible is being with the people you like the most. ---------- Thank goodness these days we can believe anything we like or nothing at all.

That means that three PhD reviewer's of professorial rank had to read this thing and write a written review of it and formally recommended for publication before it was published by the world's premier scientific publisher Elsevier Science Ltd. [Hammond, 2010-08-02 10:52] ------------------------------------------------- What I see is a paper published in a journal with (internal) discussions about psychology and a few speculative papers. Regardless of the content, no journal ever peer-reviews any papers. This is not only a matter of costs, it depends on the limited amount of qualified peer-reviewers, as well. It's the job of the editor - most times delegated - to decide which papers will be published. Sometimes, some cosmetic work is required to fulfill the one or other standard (vocabulary and style). Besides that, most books are peer-reviewed by one person, in general - a second or even third peer-reviewer only is consulted if there are doubts. That's the reason why I only searched for books - scientific work published as a book always is peer-reviewed, following international standards (a few flaws in a row can ruin the reputation of a publisher). Putting it all together, there is no evidence for George's claim. If his theory ever had been peer- reviewed by anyone who received a PhD in physics, history or egyptology, it had been rejected. I was interested what P.F. Merenda cited from his paper (context), but $19.95 for downloading a PDF is beyond good and bad. >> One last question: How many people do you think may >> worship a god that is computable with a simple cal- >> culator? > > As many as would fit on a pin head.
