They reunited with the RCC in 1555 and split away again in 1570. They incorporated some Protestant elements but ARE a Catholic church, just not ROMAN Catholic. The term "Catholic" is similar to how the term "Orthodox" ( such as Greek, Russian, Egyptian etc) is used to definite a religious system of beliefs, practices etc. The term "Anglicans" derives from "Anglo" referring to England. Their official name is the ANGLICAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, using 'Anglican' to show their non submission to the ROMAN Catholic Church. The ACC considers itself to be both Catholic AND Protestant.

Thank you for this great video. I am a Sunni Muslim. The Caliphe or successor was the political leaders for Muslims. The first 4 caliphas were close companions to the prophet. However, theological questions were answered by the most learned of the Prophet's companions, including the Caliphe. Later day Caliphas did not have a role in the religious guidance of the Islamic community, in most cases. Actually, history has recorded many cases of disputes between a Caliphe and a Muslim religious leaders. This is a very simple explanation for a very complex history. Thank you again for this very concise comparison. May all people be guided to respect and caring for all humanity.

@@lailayas a very good question. As mentioned in the video, there are different sects of Muslims. Each sect may have more than one opinion on a specific matter. As far as depicting prophets and religious leaders in images and sculptures, Sunni Muslims generally don't do that. The reason is to not fall into idolatry. That is giving the drawings per sculptures a sacred nature. Shiite Muslims, generally, hang drawings of Ali and his descendants out of respect and reverence. This is a very short summary. All Muslims respect and revere the prophet Mohammed as well as all prophets of God. Insulting any one of them is a great insult to us, this includes drawings, writings and any kind of insult. Insulting Jesus, Moses, Job, Abraham. Isaac or any prophet of God is just as bad as insulting the prophet Mohammed. Muslims are more emotional about the prophet Mohammed because we are daily involved in his teachings. So, I would say that the cartoons used in this video are not against Islam in an insulting way.

The thing with Judaism is that we have Sephardim and Ashkenazis, two distinctly different groups. Originally, we did not have this split, but over time we moved into two regions: Catholic Europe, and the Muslim Middle East and North Africa. The Europeans became Ashkenazis, with their own literature, while the African/Arab Jews became Sephardic, with their own literature. For example, in Halachic literature (Where Jews can find most interpretations of laws, the Original Shulchan Aruch (A comprehensive guide for Jewish law) was originally written for Sephardic Jews, while Rabbi Isserles added on the Ashkenazic version. Even before this split, there was the time of the Geonim in places like Babylon, who headed excellent Jewish institutes, often with a different way of teaching Torah from one another, so you seè, Judaism has often not had a big leader, usually a local Rabbi or authority. Really, the only way to properly “rally” Judaism would be the Messiah coming and rebuilding the third temple. (Interestingly, in some very thorough Halachic works, there are laws for after the building of the third temple)

Islam part was messed up though

Can't talk on behalf of other religion but Islam, but there's something I want to correct. According to Sunni Muslim (can't talk on behalf of Shia because I'm not one of them), the founder of Islam is not Prophet Muhammad PUBH. He was simply the LAST messenger of the deen (way of life) out of the 25 messengers mentioned in the Quran and at least 124,000 (estimated, correct me if I'm wrong) messengers as explained in a hadith. The Quran simply says that there's a prophet for every nation (tribe, kindom, etc.) including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Jesus, etc. but the exact number is not mentioned, and Muhammad will be the last and final universal prophet of the deen of Islam (the seal of all prophets and messengers). The revelation that was given to Muhammad that relates to the oneness of God (Tauhid) is consistent with the previous revelations that were given to the other prophets. The revelations that relates to religious practices, dietary laws and conducts, were changed and developed along the way. The big difference is that Muhammad's revelation is intended for the whole world until the end of time, while previous revelations were only relevant and applicable to each of the previous prophet's time and people. The Sunni Muslim perspective towards religious and political leaders is that we have to obey them but not so much as to exalt, glorify, praise and worship them (even to prophets, that's why there's no images, idols, etc.) And yes, political and religious leaders are only seen as human. They make errors sometimes and it is inevitable. Again, this is from the perspective of Sunni Muslims.

@Sajeel Hussain ehhh no.. the way of life or "religion" that he/she who submits to the will of God, in Arabic, can be shortened to Islam. Arabic is a beautiful language in ways that is concise and at the same time does not lose its meaning. So Prophet Muhammad S.A.W never ever did bring a new religion, he just continued what was preached by Adam, Abraham, Moses and Jesus to bring people closer to Allah S.W.T and guide them to the true and proper way on how to worship the Almighty. Prophet Muhammad was not just for a certain tribe like the previous prophets, as mentioned by Ardian Putra in the comment above, but for mankind as a whole. And the way of life of Adam Abraham Moses and Jesus were that of "submission to the will of God, Allah S.W.T. " WHICH in arabic means Islam. The true Jews and Christian (Ahlul Kitab) of the past according to Islam are those people who submitted to the will of Allah and so, they are in fact, Muslims. That is why those who newly embraced Islam are called Reverts, not converts. Because it never was a new religion to begin with, but a continuation and purification of the religion from corruption by people throughout time.

A different history which I believe might make them eligible for another "faction" of Christianity. The Head of the Anglican Church is the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, a position inherited from the Catholic days. For the Episcopalians, the presiding bishop is Micheal Bruce Curry. Welby is technically above Curry, but I believe most Americans who worship as Episcopalians would not have known that. So add Archbishop Justin Welby to your list of religious big-wigs.

True. Pretty mature

The Islamic part was pretty spot on. The Sunni Shia split occurred because some believed the successor should have been due to blood line, while Sunnis believe that blood line isn't a just reason, and that experience, maturity and spirituality are more important. Most Muslims are Sunni; which are split into 4 schools of thought or 4 'imams' where practices differ slightly; then you have salafis/wahabis which started in the middle east which wanted to 'purify' Islam from pre-islamic traditions. They're mostly located in Saudi Arabia and the gulf Arab nations, but due to their affluence and money set up mosques and madrassas all over the sunni world. Shia are mostly concentrated in Iran and neighbouring areas, with pockets throughout the Muslim world. Shia themselves are split into many different sects, which some may consider heretical. While many sunnis dislike Shia, and salafis outright declare them as non muslims, most sunnis are indifferent. In the Sunni world, since the Ottomans fell, there hasn't been a central spiritual leader. The Saudi government controls the 2 holiest cities, while the Israeli government controls Jerusalem. Each country might have a chief mufti (leader) or mosques led by an imam, or a jamaat (congregation) lead by a sheikh. It's a dream of religious Sunnis for Muslims to be united under one caliph again, but it's impractical due to the different nationalities, languages, interpretation of islam and politics in modern times.

Great video but just to add something to the Christian leaders for anyone interested. Often everyone lumps all Orthodoxies in under "Eastern" but there's two large distinct branches, the Eastern (Greek, Russian, Most of eastern europe) and the Oriental Orthodoxies, who broke off earlier, and are predominantly in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Egypt (known as Copts), and Armenia. They are similarly decentralized, but they recognize the patriarch of Alexandria (ironically now in Cairo) as their first amongst equals, and he is often called the "Coptic Pope". Also anglicanism is one of the more hierarchical protestant sects. They recognize the British monarch as their leader, but in practice the Archbishop of Canterbury is closer to what we'd picture as their patriarch P.S. (edit) I know there's an Assyrian church of the east which broke off even earlier and has a patriarch type guy, but it's a small group and I don't know much about it so if anyone wants to chime in and clarify anything please do. But they're the only other major branch which claims apostolic succession (traces origins to 12 apostles) that I am aware of

I don't know if I would say that Anglicanism-Episcopalianism is THAT hierarchical. From what I understand, it's quite similar to Eastern Orthodox Christianity in that all bishops are equal. And where I live, at least, the Bishops are elected by a local conference rather than appointed by someone higher-up, and theological questions are settled democratically in larger councils. Likewise, no Anglicanism-Episcopalian "autocepholy" or whatever that word was, has power over another, and the Archbishop of Canterbury is merely the "first among equals" in the global "Anglican Communion." I mean, to the extent any denomination has bishops at all I guess it's more hierarchical than the more evangelical denominations.

@@jeremyt.9909 I am part of that community(though not Nestorian). I will try to summarize our history. We are called Nasranis and believe Saint Thomas founded our church. Historically, we were part of the Nestorian Church based in Iraq from about the 4th century to the 16th century. The arrival of Portuguese in the 1500s caused a lot of divisions and splits. Overtime some joined the Catholics, Protestants and other sects. Some joined the Syrian Orthodox Church and I am part of that community. Only a few thousand remain Nestorian.

Funny that the office of Caliph degraded as a spiritual authority over time yet the Papacy, which I would argue was just as much a political force for most of its existence (despite ruling directly over less territory). I wonder if there was a shift in perspective following the Turks' conquest that was later applied to medieval caliphs as well, or if it had to do with the declining prestige of the caliphate after the Abbasids or what

I'm no expert on Islamic theology, or even Muslim history. however my theory for the difference between the two would be that the Papal succession was decided by the Cardinals of the Catholic church, who tended to elect fellow clergy to the role of pope. whereas the title of caliph was largely based on lineage, and ultimately, power. which meant that non-clergy candidates were both possible and likely. i believe this contributed greatly to the decline in the religious significance of the Caliphs, as more and more non-clergy "secular" caliphs came into the position. whereas in the Papacy, the cardinals acted as a filter to ensure that the popes remained primarily clergy. helping to maintain their religious significance (although that significance has waxed and waned itself) also, i just want to say that i am a HUGE fan of your videos! keep up the good work!

10:15 I think I have some interesting things to add to this. Every position in the church is "sustained", in other words, every leader must be given the consent of those they lead, "Our sustaining is an oath-like indication that we recognize their calling as a prophet to be legitimate and binding upon us." - Russel M. Nelson, 2014 Someone cannot become a prophet until he is sustained by the top 15 leaders in the church (Quorom of The Twelve and First Presidency) with unanimity. A lot of importance is put on the members to do a kind of sustaining: studying and praying to find the prophet to be true and of God as they might scripture. They must do this before they can enter into callings or perform duties believed sacred, as importance is put on having a strong web of spiritual guidance, which can come from scripture, personal revelation, or advisors, and is validated through one's own personal connection with God.

But because he is so well known and beloved both by Tibetans and foreigners for political/social-spiritual reasons, in the media he’s usually the one who serves as the face of Buddhist authority around the world. In reality the Dalai Lama is just a monk of a certain Tibetan tradition and doesn’t hold much ecclesiastical power

They started with a woman (or a guy but I remember my parents saying it's a woman) who left the LDS church and started one at her own. Although their religion is quite similar to ours, I believe, there are still a lot of things that they do that 100% contradict the Church's beliefs. Also she removed our traditions outside the church such as praying with our arms crossed in public and on our knees when praying alone. Sorry if a few things might be confusing to you since english isn't my native language , BTW idk if Adventistas exist in the US or not. Cheers from Brazil!!

Also forget what I said about Adventists I mistook them with another Church here in Brazil called Bola de Neve xD that's why I said that I didn't knew that they existed in the US.

Yeah, the breakaways are the ones that are always embroiled with the polygamy and child marriage scandals (look up Warren Jeffs). They pretty much broke off in 1889, when the church outlawed polygamy. Another main break away happened in the mid 1840s, after Joseph Smith was martyred, some people believed that the next prophet was going to be one of sons, or a relative of his, contradicting already revealed doctrine. Those that wanted the bloodline movement, broke off after the next prophet was chosen Brigham Young.

I lived in Utah for 19 years. I've been a member of the church throughout my life (32 years).

JJ, you've got the best sound effects.
