Heyyyy, just wanted to clear something up for the people asking about why Catholics pray to Mary and the saints. Catholics see Mary and the saints as an extension of their Holy Family...sort of like a supernatural support system, if you will. So when they ask Mary and the saints to pray for them, it is a lot like when you ask your friends to pray for you when you are going through a tough time. The idea is that even when you don't have friends around that you can ask to pray for you, you still have someone who has your back in a more human-way. Also, as far as Mary is concerned; a lot of Catholics (particularly women) find Mary to be a great way to connect to their faith. Mary is a role model because she risked everything for her belief in God and devoted her life to Christ in a way that no one else ever could. Catholics also believe that Mary is the only fully-human person to ever live without sin. Growing up as a Catholic girl, Mary was very important to me because she was someone that I could relate to when the cast of characters was a so male-dominated. I don't consider myself Catholic anymore, but I still connect strongly with Mary. I hope this clears things up! And if any of this upsets you, just drink a glass of water and go on a walk and remember that Catholics don't really care if you think that they are engaging in "idol worship", the same way that you don't really care that they think your communion is fake. We all believe different things. It's okay.

Here is a good read www.signs-of-end-times.com very interesting just keep an open mind. I just don't belive the stuff about being gay and stuff ... I mean its wrong to rape or force your self on a person of the same sex but not if its LOVE cause LOVE will always win.. GAY IS NOT A SIN!

This is really important to clarify: Roman Catholics do NOT believe that being homosexual, i.e. Experiencing same-sex attraction, is a sin. We believe that it is a sin to act on this attraction by pursuing a romantic and/or sexual relationship with someone of your same sex.

As a Roman Catholic I was taught JESUS LOVE'S THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.

King James destroyed Christians. he removed all their power by rewriting the bible and leaving out every thing that gives us power. GOD assigned Arch angels to us to help us, all we have to do is ask. I believe King James worked for Satan. Matthew 7:21-23 is speaking about protestants. They're not lost, but they're not really saved either...

Holy Mary is the Mother of God the Word Incarnate Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world from sin. We are blessed to call her our Mother because according to the Holy Bible Jesus gave Holy Mary His Mother as our Mother when He was hanging on the cross and Mother Mary was with St. John the Beloved so we call her Mother Mary. Just like our mom she is loving and helpful, the only difference is she is Immaculate, sinless and Holy and she is chosen by God as the Mother of God the Incarnate Word His Son Jesus Christ because she is Obedient to God. Therefore, God cannot deny her request for her sons and daughters who are in the world. The Saints are just and good persons while they were on earth or sinners but forgiven by God and renewed their life and become me obedient to God's will and Commandments so God reward them with eternal life, in heaven with Him for all eternity. So they are not dead but can hear our prayers and will intercede and help us with our request to God by their merits and good works while they were on earth we are confident that God will hear them for our petitions that we asked through them may be granted by God. Amen. +AMDG+

Jesus has supported firmly Traditional Marriage that is a marriage between a man and a woman as shown in the marriage feast at Cana in Galilee where He attended. Jesus even made His first miracle because of His support for Traditonal Marriage and it is also in the marriage feast at Cana that Jesus shows that the request of His Holy Mother Mary He cannot deny for it is in the marriage feast at Cana that His Mother asked Him to give his first miracle that He turned the water into wine to the delight of the bridegroom and family and guests at the feast of the marriage in Cana, Galilee. Amen. +AMDG+

Romans 8:34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Matthew 18:19 "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. So there is no need to pray to Mary or any other saint! And as for down here on earth we pray for each other to come in agreement . That is why a lot of Catholics are saved but powerless in the spirit.

Hebrews 4:4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: "On the seventh day God rested from all his works." (Holy Quran 50-38). And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness. The Quran describes : God is Great and powerfull The bible decribes : God rested from all his works = Weekness You have to make the choice people before is too late

The truth is that before 1054 and the East–West Schism everybody in the world was "Catholic". This distintion did'n even exist before. But after 1054 and Martin Luther the original belief is called "Catholic" and the other with different names
