Very true, but this reality is often misinterpreted.

Many say “see all the religions have things in common” and jump to the conclusion that the Catholic faith is nothing special, merely one among many.

This is false.

The reality is that all faiths contain some elements of truth, some more or less than others, because all faiths trace their roots back to the same source. We are all descendants of Adam and all peoples had knowledge of God’s revelation. Following the destruction of the Tower of Babel, humanity was scattered and languages were confused. Each group of people had some knowledge of the truth, but it was corrupted by sin.

Pax and God Bless.

Yes exactly 🙂 Every religion is special on their own way aswell
 
No Catholic worship any statue, unless it is someone that literally knows nothing about their faith at all.

Statues are used to remind us of the people that we believe are Saints (or of Jesus, who was a real human being). We do not make “graven images” because we make no attempts to make an image of God as God, that would not be possible. We do make representations of Jesus (most of them wildly wrong in virtually every detail), but that is because he chose to become a human being, and we make a representation of him in his human body.

The ONLY thing that the Catholic Church, and its members worship is almighty God, in any and all of the three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

We venerate Saints, just as we should venerate our parents, grandparents, etc. But that is a VERY long way from worship!

Perhaps, we can say that all things belong to God. Catholic did reclaim the things that were taking from God by pagans. The Catholic church maybe just redirected them towards God.

Rosary is not a pagan. last right is not a pagan things.

We cannot know what is in the heart of man. They can be very nice yet their heart is full of evil intentions. The Church is surrounded by enemies trying to destroy what she has. Lets not be naive about human beings.

Why on earth would a Catholic ask these things or even think there might be some truth to them??
 
Because I was just wondering what other people think I don’t think that but some others do .

Dont worry about what others think about our Faith. It is nothing new to the CC. She has been battled throughout the her life. Satan is not going to rest in trying to take the Catholics out of the Church because that pleases the enemy of God.

the enemy will use anything to destroy our faith. the beautifull things of our Faith is given to us by God. He knows us better than we do. He gives us many things and signs that makes us different from the rest of the world. Fight for the beauty of the Church, architcture, statues, symbols, anything that is part of our heritage and Tradition, fight for it. Love Holy Mother, the Queen of Heaven. above of all seek to know God that you may understand the CC.

The CC is the only entity in this world you can be sure that you will never be deceived. Be at peace for you are in the Holy Church of God, the Pillar and Bullwark of the Truth.
St Paul said to those as he was passing on the Faith, hold on to the Traditions that was given to you. We must be faithful to Christ and His Apostles and fight for the Holy Church always.
