Here is my question. Okay, i am not Catholic and i wanted to know what exactly their religion is. I HEAR Nancy McKeon may be Catholic and just wanted to know.

Like for instance do Catholics believe Jesus died on the cross for everyones sins.
I was just wonderin'. If anybody could feel me in on this it would be appreciated.

Sorry if it makes you guys uncomfortable talking about religion, but i am interested about other religions other than my own.

hi i am catholic(well half,im jewish also but i am being raised catholic) i will tell you some stuff cuz i dont really pay attention in ccd

yes we do believe that Jesus died on the cross and that all our sins will be forgiven, but we have to go to confession and tell the prist our sins and then he will forgive us of our sins~to have an abortion is wrong and against the religon~we believe that some day that Jesus will raise again...

My friend's boyfriend is Catholic, and she heard that when you walk in, you do a Hail Mary. And the Rosaries and decades confuse me. I think it's like this prayer that you say, but I'm still a lil cornfused... Thanx for all the info, I'm gonna print this out 4 my friend.

"For the Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations." Psalms 100:5

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17

I am Catholic so here's a few point.

Not all Catholics say the "Holy Mary" when they enter Church. It is customary to dip your fingertips in the Holy Water and make the sign of the cross.

The rosary is a strand of beads that can be mistaken as a necklace. For each bead you say a different prayer. It is stated how you say the rosary, but it is a little confusing so I will just skip that.

I was always taught that there were three big differences between the Catholic religion and other religions:

1. During the Eucharist the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ and not just a symbol of the body and blood of Christ.

2. The Trinity-Catholics believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are the same being and not three seperate beings.

3. As already stated, the emphasis on the Virgin Mary.

And just because I feel like saying it to clear up other perceptions if a Catholic enters a Protestant church THEY WILL NOT BE STRUCK DOWN AT THE CHURCH'S DOOR!! I went to a Luthern church once last summer and I'm still here.

nancysbiggestfan · 05-14-2001, 01:37 PM

I also believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is one being not three.

And just in case anyone is wondering my religion is Baptist.

Does anyone else have anything to add?

I have another question.
Is there different 'types' of the Catholic religion? I have no idea about this.
Just in case you don't understand what i am meaning, do some Catholics believe on thing but another believe basically the same except one thing or is there some stuff that Catholics don't have to do or believe.

does that even make sense? Well anyway any info on this would also be appreciated.

I'm going to try to answer this in the least-confusing way I can.

In 1056 (that year seems to stick out in my mind although I'm not completely sure about it) the Catholic church in Rome and the Eastern Orthodox church based in Constantinople split. I do not know the exact differences between the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox church except they are very similar and I can't remember why the church split.

Fast-foward to the Reformation in the 16th century. Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife so he could have a male heir. The Pope would not give him the divorce because the Catholic church does not believe in divorce. At this point you the Catholic church splintering and Henry VIII decided to create the Anglican church better known as the Episcopal church here. Henry VIII appointed himself head of the church and kept everything from Catholicism except you could get a divorce in his church. I hope that helped you out.
