Try it sometime…you might be surprised how God blesses you! Jesus loves his Mother!!! Catholics do not place more emphasis on Mary, We honer her as the Mother of Christ. We believe in the Communionof Saints, which means we can ask those not only on earth to pray for us but also those whom have died and are in heaaven.
We can ask Mary or other saints to pray for us, that we can atain eternal life. They are not useless in heave, all things work through God. How can some speak about Catholic whom have NO clue what they are talking about. I feel really sad for you and those and will ask the Blessed Mother to pray for you. As for depending on works for salvation, the Catholic Church teaches just what Ephesians 2 says, that we are saved by grace, the gift of God.
For many, those works may be confined mostly to prayer for others, as with housebound or those with little money to give, but these are also critically important in serving God and our neighbor.
Good to know, thanks. I was brought up Catholic and I never remember a single catholic carrying a bible into church or bible school. In the early days of the Chruch people were not allowed to interpret the bible on their own and this is a fact. I am not putting Catholics down but facts are facts.
Praying to a saint or Mary is not biblical period. There is nothing wrong with it but show me in scriptor where it says you should pray to a saint. The catholic church used to be as powerful as a kingdom. The church became corrupt because of man. So 30 some years ago it was a sin to eat meat on Fridays but all of the sudden it was no longer a sin.
I go by the word of God not a church. How can many things that used to be sins, some punishable by death, no longer sins today.
That is because the catholic church makes things up. I would rather go by the bible which is consistsent than to go by a religion. I do not dislike the catholic chruch but it makes no sense to me. For The Word, especially Jesus himself, should back this catho doctrine up methinks. Bible consistent , then why do have protestant religion have their own interpretation of the bible.
Sunday is a sabbath day for catholics …. Monday is the moon god Thursday is the god of Thor, they pervert all they touch just look at the little boys that they come into contact with. How exactly is it our fault people make shit up? The moon god? Either that was an ancient religion or a foreign one, but it has nothing to do with the Catholic Church. Also, look up the definition of perverted. Yes the Catholic Church sexualized every day of the week.
For real. Thank you for clearing up the glaring errors in this article. As I read through this website, I notice that all of the articles around Roman Catholicism are very anti-Catholic. Thanks Aaron. I think traditional ritual does play a large role in even our daily worship of God.
I think I would more likely follow learned men and women who have devoted their lives to the study of Christ instead of a few of the self appointed hacks out there that could lead me straight to the Kool Aid stand.
I do have serious questions — especially about pergutory which went mysteriously unanswered though I do understand the veneration of Mary and the Saints. Hi Kennedy. So good you are seeking. The idea of Purgatory comes from the idea that we need to be purified, unless we are truly entirely holy, before we can Come into the presence of God.
We cannot know that, of course, but the Church has long accepted that and it may be based on the scripture in the Book of Maccabees 1st or 2nd I forget which where prayers are offered up for dead soldiers by the living.
Those scriptures, the books, were removed, along with many others, when Luther formed the new Protestant bible. God bless you. Thanks for responding, I used to be a non-denominational protestant myself.
Catholicism offered an established set policy with historical, scriptural, and logical backing. Where sins are burned away for the cleaner soul. If u r gonna post differences you better know what they are first. I say biased opinions because you portrayed the Catholic Church in an untruthful negative light. Also just a few more tid bits:. Protestants contradict themselves on one main thing in my eyes, they believe that scripture is the only source for truth but no where in scripture does it say that its the only source.
Hence I feel Catholics are more justified believing in tradition and bible than the protestant mantra solo scriptural. I enjoyed these comments very much! Having been raised protestant, I have been wanting to hear a more Catholic point of view, as I think many of the Catholic traditions are lovely, and have been wanting to find out where in scripture or in history? To answer the solo scritptura sp? Background to the Reformation Martin Luther was a German monk.
The Reformation spread to Europe Luther's ideas spread and were developed further. The predominant religions in European countries from the time of the Reformation in the 16th century A stricter form of Protestantism called Calvinism became popular with the Dutch. In Scotland, Calvinism was called Presbyterianism.
Protestants only follow two sacraments- Baptism and the Eucharist the lord supper. They believe that the bread and wine they consume during the mass is nothing but a symbol of Jesus. Any baptized person can take part in the lord supper.
Protestants only worship Mary as the mother of Jesus Christ; they think she needs salvation like everyone. They also do not believe in the concept of saints, they worship solely and directly to Jesus and not through anyone. Both of them have their own beliefs, ideologies, and differences. History and religion go hand in hand as it has been a very important factor for ages. The fact that they both are Christians but yet so different is so intriguing. This shows us that our world is filled with such history and diversity.
Everything and everyone has their unique way of living and functioning. The differences has no end, even after so many years it still continues to dissect and change. New concepts and values will arise and the world will keep evolving. Skip to content Diversity is one of the many beautiful features of our planet. Catholics strongly believe that what remains written in the Bible was selected and chosen by the human authors depending on their scope and the direct recipients, to whom they wrote.
Hence, Bible and Tradition, for the Catholics, are the two pillars of faith, which contain the entire revelation. There are thousands of different denominations, which do not agree with one another. The main reason for such divisions among them is the individual interpretation of the Bible, as comprehended by the founder of each Church.
Whereas the Catholics have one apostolic Church under the leadership of the Pope.
