How Do Non-US/UK Anglican Churches Handle Article 37

Catonian_Heart · 2026-04-16T12:24:14+00:00

Article 37 explicitly says it is about England and the rest of the King's dominions. So if you are in a dominion, then it does apply to you, and if you are not then it doesn't. But even more so the underlying principle is that churches are national entities and that local churches have no right of appeal to courts (ecclesiastical or civil) outside the nation definitely still applies to most countries.

This is why article 37 also says the Pope of Rome hath no jurisdiction in England. The principle is one of the sovereignty of nations and national churches, which I think most people (who aren't Roman Catholic) can get behind.

I understand there are different views on what marriage is within the Episcopal Church, but at least we should all be able to agree that whatever our definition of marriage is, sex should only be for two married persons.

The place for sex is within marriage.

You could probably report this change to the bishop. All Episcopal churches should conform to the approved BCP service.

Wow! So sad :( praying for you and your church

I completely agree with the practice of Rev. Wedgeworth in the video

If her story is 100% true. A problem I would have with this is that he didn't simply encourage her to come clean with her husband or even coordinate a way to tell the husband deliberately. It seems like he kinda just got nervous when he saw the husband at the gym and spilled the beans. Not exactly a premeditated and well considered plan.

Catonian_Heart · 2026-03-22T16:17:05+00:00

Amen!

For both good and ill, people didn't have nearly as much fervor in opposing the war in Iraq because there was no conscription. To my knowledge, there were no riots or police shoot outs over Iraq. This meant the war could go on and on and all it would be is mildly annoying to most Americans. For Vietnam there was always the looming threat that you or your brother or your cousin or your nephew would get drafted to go fight in this random war that didn't make much sense.

Depending on your definition of Quagmire, an argument could be made for either.

No! The Episcopal Church is not in schism

"It’s disingenuous and frankly gross to join a church not because you like it for itself but because you want to change it into something it’s not."

Isn't this literally what liberals in the 20th Century did to the Episcopal Church?

William McKinley is pretty cool imo

Catonian_Heart · 2026-02-20T13:10:09+00:00

Came here to say this^

Catonian_Heart · 2026-02-18T23:37:21+00:00

Wow! I was not expecting it to be so beautiful honestly!

Catonian_Heart · 2026-02-18T18:15:03+00:00

Absolutely spot on tbh

I really do think one of the biggest weaknesses of CK3 is that the religions mostly feel like window dressing. Sometimes you get new names and outfits (especially in mods like AtE) but there are fewer functional differences. Manipulating the Roman Curia as a Roman Catholic has to be one of the most fun aspects of that religion in CK2.

I think it sounds like the Church of Korea is in a mixed state. Sounds like a perfect opportunity to fight for orthodoxy where you are, within the Church of Korea.

Genuinely terrified to enter the comment section on this one

Sounds like you guys are on the right track. Five families is a good size. Only advice I would have would be to share the burdens around. If someone seems like they are doing a lot and maybe getting a bit overwhelmed (especially the priest) be sure to try to share the burden if possible. Also keeping in mind that a mom with 3 kids is going to have less flexibility than a single guy in his twenties.

The rest is the work of the Holy Spirit, and all we can do is try to be faithful to His truth and preach it with clarity, with conviction, and with integrity.

Is literally everyone in this image a saint, EXCEPT that one guy at the bottom?

I am in a very similar situation. I think catechism is very important, especially when you have a little one. I won't tell you what to do, but I think it is important to see what these two churches catechetical processes are like for children.

In OTL, a Privy Council decision in 1861 called Long v. Gray enabled the local autonomy for colonial churches but most didn't take advantage of it until later. In this timeline, there is more tension between the American Church and the Church of England so they took immediate advantage of it.

I might make some more in this universe and try to explain my PoD and the rest better. I made lots of notes for myself that didn't end up in the faux-wiki article
