Saint Quiteria Research Paper

St. Ignatius of Antioch understood the Christian faith to be objective and sensible, stating that Christianity is fundamentally a religion based in historic, tangible realties . He was adamant to the fact that Jesus Christ was a real human with real flesh; he encountered real suffering and died a truly human death. Ignatius saw Christian faith and the person of Jesus Christ in such a way that it put him at odds with the Gnostics, who held to a Docetic Christology that was circulating widely among the Church. For Ignatius, this was a serious issue that needed to be addressed due to the purity of the faith and the truth it held. At stake was the validity of the incarnation, suffering, death, and resurrection of the person of Jesus Christ. If this is not real or true, Ignatius believed that man

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini was born in Sant'Angelo Landigiano, Italy in 1850. She was born the youngest of the thirteen children by Agostino Cabrini and Stella Oldini, who were cherry tree farmers.

Saints Perpetua, Saint Felicity along with several others showed bravery a courageousness when they refused to renounce their faith as Christians during the reign of Emperor Diocletian in Rome sometime between 202-203 A.D. During this time, Christianity was not a recognized religion, therefore, it was illegal and anyone who was found practising Christianity was sentenced to death if they did not abide by the accustomed religion practised. Many of Romans practiced polytheism which is the worshiping of multiple deities, which are usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses. Because Christians believed in one God, numerous were persecuted for their faith. The Christian martyrs no the other hand did not care that they were sentenced to death, in fact, they believed that by dying for what they believed in would bring them honour and put them one step closer to their God where he was waiting to welcome them into the Gates of Heaven. According to “Martyrdom viewed as a second baptism, a baptism in blood, was seen as an instant guarantee of a place in heaven at Christ’s right hand, and of the forgiveness of all sins.” To the martyrs, there was nothing more

When I first went to St. Mary's in preschool did never wanted to go because I just wanted to stay home. That's how it was for my early schooling years, but eventually I made friends and was having a good time at school. I think that the School of St. Mary has made me a better person throughout my life. My favorite thing at St. Mary's was the sports some years we didn't win often and other years we did. At school the teachers helped me reach my academic goals and were very nice to me. Now in eighth grade I like going to school to see my friends and teachers. In school right now I have a lot of fun. My favorite at St. Mary's are math and science. With great teachers like Ms. Baniewcz I can reach the moon. St. Mary's has taught me well and I will

My doctor of the church is St. Leo the Great. St. Leo the Great was born in Tuscany, Italy where he was sent to Gaul, somewhere in Western Europe, to settle a dispute between Aetius and Albinus, the two highest officials. While he was away Pope Sixtus 111 died and Leo was elected by the people to become pope. On his mission Leo defended the true divinity and true humanity of Christ. He also taught about Christ’s presence in the Church. St. Leo the Great fought heresies and at one time even burned their books and warned the Roman Christians against them. Leo strongly said that everything he did and said as pope for the administration of the church represented Christ, the head of the Mystical Body. In 452 Attila the Hun advanced toward Rome to

Saints are always different from everyday people, thus no one understands them in their lives, only a lot of years after their death. Joan of Arc was a saint like this as well, she was too far ahead of her times and was killed by her fellow men, because they didn’t know what else to do. She was canonized in 1920, after 489 years of her death. In my opinion, she was not only a saint, but meant to be an angel and showed a good example to all of us, how to behave ourselves in the name of honour, honesty, and glory.
