圣公会与天主教:真正的区别与比较

  • 圣公会并非罗马天主教会。其宪章称其为“普世圣公宗的组成成员”,自称为新教且大公(catholic),且未与罗马教廷共融。
  • 双方都有主教、弥撒,并声称拥有使徒统绪。罗马教廷不承认圣公会的圣职有效,而这种拒绝解释了其余大部分差异。
  • 《宗座照顾》(Apostolicae Curae) (1896) 宣布圣公会的圣职授任“绝对无效且完全作废”;坎特伯雷和约克大主教在次年驳回了这一论点。自2009年起,圣公会信徒可以通过个人教长区以团体形式加入天主教会,其依据为 《圣公会团体》(Anglicanorum Coetibus).

  • 目前最明显的区别:1976年授权女性担任司铎,1989年出现首位女性主教,以及2015年授权同性婚姻仪式。双方均完整持守《尼西亚信经》,并承认对方的洗礼。
