The Roman Catholic Church is over a billion members !
He was frustrated and did not agree with what the church was doing. for example: - the pope had kids - the church was making money of indulgences (slips of paper pardoning sins) and stuff like that.
Because in the Roman Catholic Church it is prohibited for the clergy. The name of this very strict rule is celibate. Celibacy means that you mustn't marry and consequently, mustn't have children, you also must avoid sexual intercourse. The same rule is applied to the monks and nuns.
you havent stated what you wanted to do!!!
How does the status of ones fathers belief system have any baring on ones own belief system? Catholocism is only hereditary in the sense that ones parents teach their kids to believe the teachings of catholicism. One can easily learn these teachings from a friend or TV or any other means. If they chose to believe the teachings of Catholicism, then they can go to a Catholic church and go through the sacriments and join the Church regardless of what there father has or ever will believe. Likewise one can easily reject the teachings of their catholic parents and leave the church, they do not remain catholic just because their parents are catholic.Roman Catholic AnswerYou are Catholic if you have ever been baptized in the Catholic Church or if you have been validly baptized in a Christian denomination and received into the Church.
Yes, Roman Abramovich has 7 kids.
Martin Luther was angry at the church because he believed that the church was corrupt and people only needed to follow the bible and not traditions made by the church hope this helps. I'm in 9th grade btw sorry if I'm wrong.
This is where the growth of the Church is very evident. In different countries and amongst different cultures and customs, the Church is able to adapt for the needs of the people. Though the rituals and traditions stay the same in every Catholic church around the world, how these are celebrated can differ. For example, I have seen a traditional Samoan dance in full cultural dress during the offertory procession. I have also seen a traditional Philippino dance during the presentation of the word. In a Maori catholic church, often traditional calls from a woman in the church rings around during the elevation. In terms of age, I have seen kids being called right up to the altar during the eucharistic prayer so they can see exactly whats going on and be part of the consecration. The church is flexible in terms of celebrating cultures. It also helps us all to celebrate our differences and the cultures God has given us to share with others. Rather aptly, that is why the name Catholic was given to the church - catholic means universal and universal means extending to all.
Barley, ash and porridge. They ate so much barley they were nicknamed the barley men.
Yes, we believe as Catholics that once the wine is consecrated it turns into the blood of Jesus Christ , some churches use grape juice though and all of us only take one sip anyway so it isn't a very big amount.
