Hello I am writing a paper for my religion in society class and want some factual answers so I thought I would come to the source. The questions are to help me understand the Catholic church in greater detail. They are as follows:

What is the Church’s basic message?
What are the 5 key doctrines of the Church?
What does the church expect from their followers?
What are members supposed to do to stay in good standing with the Church?
How does the church teach individuals to live their lives?
Describe what a member’s typical week concerning religious practices would be in the church. Are there special holidays, or key dates? Are there Rituals or traditions practiced only by the church?
Do you feel the Catholic Church will continue to grow and remain strong in the future? Please expound.

Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

Varies greatly depending on degree of understanding, willinwss to obey, opportunity. At base: Attend and participate fully in Sunday Mass, receive Holy Communion at least Once per Year ( weekly or daily is better and encouraged) Go to the Sacrament at least once per year, avoid serious sin, and lead an active visible Christian life.

Sunday’s and "Holy day’s of Obligation. Easter being the most important Feast followed by Christmas.

Certainly: The Catholic Church is the ONLY Christian church actually founded by Christ, was the ONLY Christian Church for the
first Fifteen hundred years, is the ONLY Church with a 2000 year
history of consecutive belief and rule, and the Entire New Testament was written by Catholic’s. Not bad, heh?👍

1ke. my friend in Christ,

Which of my replies were not “factual?” Or would you have simply chosen other answers?😊 I wan’t trying to write a book.:o

By the way, “New Advent” is one of my favorite sites, so we agree on something.

If I am teaching something not in conformity to Magistrium Teaching PLEASE let me know, so that I can (and will change).

God’s continued blessings,
PJM m.c.
