Would you say Berkshire is more old money White Anglo-Saxon Protestant and Surrey is more new money immigrants?

Amongst the wealthier classes of London, isn't it true they regard the residents of Berkshire to be more Old Money, much more White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, than Surrey? Don't these people look at Surrey as more a bastion of New Money, and people of non-British origins and non-Protestant backgrounds?

Yeah i'm in agreement with the above answer. The nice parts of Berkshire and Surrey are snobby old money. There are still some crap parts of both countys though.

Can a greek orthodox be a godmother of a catolic?

I am a greek-orthodox and my little niece is catholic. She is going to have her 1 communion this June and wants me to be her godmother. According to a catholic tradition can I participate in this ceremony and be her godmother?

I don't particularly understand the question because you get godparents at baptism, and not at first communion. For baptism, at least one godparent must be Catholic, and the other can be pretty much anything. Those godparents are godparents for life, and the child gets no more after that. In other words, the godparents gotten at her baptism would be her godparents during her 1st communion as well.

What happens when you are baptized in the catholic religion then you change your mind?

My friend was baptized catholic as a little girl and her other friend is baptist and for a birthday present my friend is getting baptized in the baptist faith. Would she get like excommunicated or something?

Who in the heck gets a baptism for a BIRTHDAY PRESENT?

HELLLLLOOOOOOO?????

That's not a gift one human can give to another — it's a gift of the Holy Spirit — who last I heard didn't "do" birthdays. This is so sneaky and disrespectful — baptisms are not birthday presents — get her a pair of earrings or something.

As a Catholic your friend should know that we acknowledge ONE BAPTISM FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. She already had her baptism and should not do it again. Not because of the church — but for respect of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Just get her a pair of earrings and call it a day.

How did the nazis deal with catholic and protestant churches?

How did the nazis deal with catholic and protestant churches?
And how did the german public react to it?

It is only right to place the Jews first on the list of the Nazis' victims. The 6,000,000 murdered Jews (1,500,000 of them were children) represented two-thirds of all Jews in Europe and one-third of all Jews worldwide.

However millions of Catholics and other Christians were also killed. No one knows exactly how many. I've seen claims of up to 42,000,000 but I could not find documentation for this number.

One example, over 6 million Poles perished during WWII. That was 22% of the population of the country. Three million were Jews. Most of the rest were Catholics.

Two of the most famous Catholics who died in the concentration camps are:

Saint (Sister) Teresa Benedicta (Edith Stein) died in the gas chambers at Auschwitz on 9 August 1942. http://www.ewtn.com/faith/edith_stein.htm

Saint (Father) Maximilian Kolbe was a Polish priest who died as prisoner number 16770 in Auschwitz, on August 14, 1941. http://www.auschwitz.dk/Kolbe.htm

Also remember most the the allied military dead were Christians.

A Soviet KGB plot to implicate Pope Pius XII and the Catholic Church with the Nazis in the Holocaust has recently been uncovered. See these articles:

How did the protestant reformation impact on christian churches and the catholic church today?

what impact has been made to the catholic church and the protestant churches… today?

The biggest impact that the Protestant reformation had was in commerce. Since the protesting countries stopped arguing religion, they become cognizant of the economy. England introduced banking, other countries introduced new economic concepts. Catholic countries stagnated. You can still see this effect in the economies of Catholic and Protestant countries. I am fuzzy on the concepts, but you can look it up. It was basically an economic reformation.
