Is Your Church a Bible Church or Liturgical Church

The Protestant Church is all about the Bible; the Catholic Church is all about the Sacraments. Right? Not exactly.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

The Oxford Movement brought many protests forward and resulted in the Catholic Church gaining converts - John Henry Newman to name one. The idea to incorporate the beauty and tradition of the Catholic Church was most appealing to many anglicans. but had to be done 'delicately'

This ideal idea resulted in many converting to Catholicism
