Etna was where Typhon was confined; Lemnos was where Hephaestus had his forge. Vulcanalia was the god's festival in late August and it was then that Vesuvius erupted spectacularly in AD 79, burying Pompeii and Herculaneum and claiming many lives, including that of Pliny the Elder.
Eastern Catholics recognize the Papacy as the valid vicar of Christ. Presumably you mean Eastern Orthodox, and the answer to that is yes, although technically he's supposed to swear an oath to protect the established Church of Scotland.

The Act of Settlement specifically only removes current and former members of the "Church of Rome" and their spouses from the line of succession, however the monarch also must be a member of the Church of England.
Words (and for that matter dictionaries) should be used intelligently and, most of all, with due regard for their etymologies, and LightSpectra's right.

I know, Eastern Catholics aren't Roman Catholics. That was the definition the dictionary gives. Maybe I'm giving the writers of the dictionary too much credit presuming that they know the difference between the Roman Catholic Church and the Catholic Church.

There was a time in my life when I thought that journalists, people who write encyclopedias and book reviewers could be trusted, since all you need to really understand a subject is a general knowledge of it, and access to raw facts.
Now I trust nothing, unless it's written by somebody who has a doctorate on that specific subject. Even then I scrutinize it, because I've read plenty of people with Ph.Ds in philosophy that haven't the faintest clue of what they're talking about (one of my professors assigned works by E. A. Goerner on Thomism; the prompt was to identify a least three factual or logical errors per page).
