Essay on The Catholic Religion

Catholicism is the belief that God made the world and all creation. God's son, Jesus, was conceived immaculately by a virgin named Mary, who was chosen for this very holy task. (Adair, 2012) Jesus was created in the likeness of God and was born with the Holy Spirit's miracle. We do not know very much about Jesus' childhood. However we do know about Jesus as a man. He healed the sick, performed glorious mysteries, and included all people even sinners and tax collectors. Jesus set an example to include everyone and love your enemies as you love everyone else. Jesus was born so that he could die for all human beings on Earth. Catholics believe in Christ's death and resurrection. Jesus was killed on a cross with other sinners and buried, yet he still rose again. "Catholics believe that Jesus is 100% man and 100% divine." (Richert 2006) He is not half man and half holy. They also believe that Jesus embodies everything that we should strive to be. We can strive to be like Jesus, but there is no way that we could even rise up to his level. Catholics are said to believe that they cannot be on the same level as God.

Both Catholicism and Christianity are a lot alike when it comes to the topic of deity. There is not much that separates the two religions when it comes to differences in this aspect. Both religions believe in God as to be three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and

Catholicism is one of the most recognized religions in the world. The most common misconception about Catholics is that practitioners are obsessed with rules and they judge people if they make mistakes. True Catholics see life from a different perspective, that of love, which has nothing to do with following a series of strict guidelines established by the church.

This Latin Catholicism was similar to Eastern Orthodoxy in that they both tried to link to the Classical Era and to reconcile the Roman Empire.

Most ways of practicing Catholicism are carried out through formal practice. These include The Eucharist where they commemorate the Last Supper where bread and wine are consumed, Baptism where water is sprinkled on to a person’s forehead symbolising the purification and admission to the Christian Church and Confession where people confess their sins and have them absolved by a priest. Islam have many ways people can practice their faith through holidays, the Hajj, prayer and Mosque attendance. Islam have holidays such as Ramadan which is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed and people fast throughout the whole month where they develop self-control and Eid ul-Fitr is the end of Ramadan where there is a celebration thanking god for self-control throughout the month. There is also the Hajj which is in the five pillars of Islam where every Muslim must pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime. They also have a Mosque attendance which is similar to a mass in Christianity but they do it on Fridays and the men and women are separated (Quiazon, 2014). Catholicism and Islam practice their religions very differently making them two very unique

First and for most,catholics have a lot of beliefs such as against abortion,rape violence etc. Beliefs helps you understand for who you are as a person to the community.Abortions in my belief is dreadful even though the little person inside you isn't walking or hasn't even experience the world.It's a living thing that deserves too have a opportunity to live and experience the world.Second of all, it shows how people see you in perspective;in addition, believing in your belief is what holds on too your future.

What defines Catholicity? Does being a Catholic only mean being a person who attends mass on a regular basis and observes the rules that the Church tells them to follow? There are so many angles and perspectives that one person has the ability to look at the term “Catholicity” as. For me, being a true Catholic involves being in touch with my Catholic Identity. The very being of myself, from the way that I behave towards other people to my thoughts and thinking, is what makes up my Catholic Identity. As a student of a Catholic school and as a Catholic, it’s my responsibility to show other

Catholics do not believe in that it is the power of the church to add truths contained in the “deposit of faith” . Catholics also do not believe in that it is not allowable to break a lawful oath or to tell a lie or do any other wicked thing whatever for the sake of promoting the supposed interest of the church of for any good however great likely to arise from it. Catholics believe one God believe that this only God is absolutely one in His infinitely holy essence as also in all His perfections, in His omnipotence, His infinite knowledge, His providence, His will and His love. They believe in are lord Jesus Christ who is the son of our

All Catholics believe in the Blessed trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All three of them are recorded in the bible at sometime. God the Father is mention at the flaming bush on the mountain with Moses and is given the Ten Commandments. God the Holy Spirit is mention during Pentecost as tongues of fire over the apostles. God the Holy Spirit isn’t man but is seen usually

Catholicism is a term used to refer to the practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Catholicism is a universal religion that institutes a continuity with the early Christian church founded by Jesus Christ. There were over 17,483 parishes in the United States alone in 2014, recorded by “Services” a Catholic data base. The Catholic Church has had many influences on the New World she established herself in. She has had an influence on every life, place, and idea she touched. Some examples she had important influences on include: the colonization of America, many laws that have been established, education, hospitals, and organizations. Therefore because of these many influences Catholicism is the most important factor in the development

Most people wouldn't expect for ‘Catholic’ to mean Universal, but it does. The word ‘Catholic’ came about, “...over a period of some decades after Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection...” (“Roman Catholicism”). The word ‘Catholic’ was created years after Jesus. “The bishops spread out across the world to form a ‘universal’ church,” including the bishop of Rome, “...(traced to the apostle Peter) holding primacy” (“Roman Catholicism”). When

First, Catholicism and its teachings are based in love and acceptance. I have read enough parables and works of mercy to know that this religion is a structure to provide values to a large group of people- values of compassion, hope, and tolerance.

Hi guys! So my religion project is on the importance of going to Mass and the first question is “Why do Catholics have to go to Mass every week? Can’t you ever miss Mass? Hopefully by the end of my presentation you guys will learn more about the importance of going to mass and the Church’s teaching.

Catholicism is one of the largest denominations, or branches, of Christianity, holding approximately 1.2 billion followers around the world, myself included. (“How Many Roman Catholics are There in the World?”) Although Catholicism and Christianity are largely similar, it is the differences that are extremely important in setting them apart. These differences include acceptance by God through following Jesus or living a good life, and how God tells us to live which is either through the Bible or the Pope. Even though I am not a devout Catholic, nor will this paper even be about Catholicism, my ignorance towards the differences between the religions allow for my approach on religion to be misled, much like many others. In many cases, society is given a misleading approach towards religion because there are overstatements, stereotypes, and one-sided arguments made and placed onto them, such as those in Jainism.

Catholicism is just one of many religions that proclaims to believe in God, but it is unique in that it claims to be the true religion to reach the promises of God. It is important to go back into the history of Christianity and the foundation of the Roman Catholic Church in order to understand its position in today’s work and how their beliefs and traditions were
