Hmm like a test ??
in my own words too eh?
Mary - She is adored, there are statues in churches and in private homes, sometimes for decoration, or for reminders. Some statues are old and forgotten and some are right out front in the church. Known as the Mother of God and spouse of the Holy Spirit one prays to her so she can also pray to Jesus for them. Catholics think she stayed a virgin all her life and had no other children than Jesus. The whole assention part, I havent spent any time on.
Pope - Catholics figure he was descended from Peter, not in blood but in authority. He is head of all the churches and representive of the Catholic Church. Seems to write alot of books on different things, that I didnt know, I found that interesting. The last pope John was it? from what I heard of his speeches, he seemed pretty good and if Bono respected him enough to wear the rosary (after he gave him the sunglasses) well that was good enough for me.
Confession - confess to a priest, seems to me something you could do daily, but in practice looks like once a week more due to hours open. You want to confess to have the sin removed, because you dont want to die with unconfessed sin. One needs a priest to let them know the sins are forgiven. Last rites are just before you die to clear up those. You feel if a person dies then they will have to go to…
Purgatory - to think about that sin, havent quite figured out how one clears this up. Pretty sure one isnt wandering like Kane until they get it, but some way to clear up that unconfessed sin. purgatory is a step to Heaven not hell. hells just one big step down
Eucharist - communion with the difference of the wine actually turning into the blood and the wafers actually turning into the flesh. The wine is a special kind and the wafers are unleavened. Its all treated carefully if there is any left and stored in a tabernacle or something til the next time. Seems most important thing in the service to do and is done each Sunday and perhaps at other occasions, and or Mass times. Also a sacrament which I believe is a particular thing or cermony thats done as obedience.
done, any stars for me ?
