    As to whether or not Anglicans would have regarded the Conception of Mary to be immaculate in 1662, that's arguable. I wouldn't have thought so anyway, but certainly in the present Anglo-Catholics would hold to the Immaculate Conception of Mary.

    You do realize that there is a difference between celebrating the Conception of the Virgin and believing that she was conceived without Original Sin?

    The Orthodox for instance celebrate the conception of the Blessed Virgin but believe that the Dogma of the RCC that she was conceived without original sin is blasemphy.

    Okay News of the World is gone now because they did something unforgivable, frankly with the abuse scandal I can't see a way I could support an organisation like that.

    There are many churches that take 10% of a families income, well at least the Mormons have their own welfare system!

    You can be spiritual without the church, there are so many problems within the church and how they operate you either blank them out or stay away.

    It is the constructs of control, as you mentions sexism, ceremony but also dictating behaviour which is far more repressive than just basic guidance based on moral codes.

    You sound like you've already made up your mind so where to go now?


    Your question is how can you.. you can't. I can't imagine anyones soul would be saved from such a corrupted institution, if there was a God he would want a complete shut down and rejuvenation of the Catholic church that is not based on civilisation 2000 years in the past. That would never be allowed because of mans greed, the church is greed, secrecy and suffering above hope, support and guidence... if there were hypothetically completely new church it again in years to come would become corrupted, everything is flawed but these flaws have manifested into something much worse.


    the question is do you want to stay or be a free, kind and spiritual person without the shackles of these men in power?

    Did you read my post?
    In certain Anglo-Catholic parishes this feast is called the Immaculate Conception.
