Maria Helbig on 23 Jan 12"In 1870, the First Vatican Council declared the primacy and infallibility of the pope. This increased significantly the division between the two churches. Other points of conflict were: The developing Protestant world-wide missionary movement The increasing role of Mary in the Roman Catholic church, as evidenced by dogmas that she was assumed body and soul into the glory of Heaven at the time of her death, and that she was conceived without sin."

Erinn Woods on 24 Jan 12Reasons for Conflict: " The Roman Catholic Church refuses to recognize that Anglican priests have been legitimately ordained and that their bishops have been legally consecrated. This means, for example, Roman Catholics and Anglicans cannot receive the communion elements together. bullet Catholics believe in the existence of Purgatory as a place and state after death. Anglicans do not."
