Why are Catholics important?

Answer 1

A Catholic Church is important to Catholic people because it is the house of God and a building that should be given over entirely to God's worship. However, a Catholic Church is even more important to Catholic people because they believe Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is God the Son, really dwells there in the Most Blessed Sacrament, which is really and substantially Christ's Body and Blood.

Another Perspective

Any church is important to its members. Religious groups that rely on rituals and observances require a place where the religious community can meet and carry on their rituals. The Catholics are strong believers in rituals and churches play an extremely essential role as the hub of any Catholic community.

It should be noted that in many regions in the US, Catholic churches are closing in great numbers. The problem of dwindling churchgoers and lack of clergy has resulted in a policy of merging several parishes. That development is causing anguish for the parishioners whose churches are being closed and sold. They find they must travel to neighboring towns and new parishes to worship. Many parishioners are extremely distressed to find they have no ownership in those churches although the churches have been supported by their tithing for generations in some cases.

Answer 2

Because Catholic is the one true Church that Jesus established and the Catholics are God's people.

If you have not already, go to the nearest Catholic Church and enquire.

Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics are important because God loves them. Catholics are important because they have been baptised and are sons and daughters of God, and brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ. Catholics are important because they are called to be better people, to be saints, and to enter Heaven when finished with this life.

Answer 3

Answer

The importance of a catholic church is that it is Gods home and that you have peace and quiet to talk to the Lord of heaven without any distractions or noise. Another thing is that the priests of that church treat it well and makes sure Gods home is lovely to pray in for other people.

AnswerThe importance of the Catholic Church cannot possibly be overemphasised, or, for that matter, even fully explained. The various explanations thereof run for pages in the index of the Catechism. To begin with the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, outside of which there is no salvation. The Catholic Church is the ways and means that Our Blessed Lord uses to sanctify and save people. It is guaranteed by God, and sustained and led by the Holy Spirit, which the Holy Father as Christ's Vicar on earth. As the only reason any of us are on this earth is because of God's love for us, and for us to decide where we want to spent eternity, the importance of the Catholic Church is transcendent.

Answer 4

It seems as if you are asking this question from a secular perspective. The Catholic Church is not just an institution or corporation. The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ and includes the Church Militant (the people alive on the earth), the Church Suffering (those who have died and are in purgatory), and the Church Triumphant (those in heaven with God). Secular people, many Catholics, and even many protestant Christians that I know, see the Church as something that they do on Sunday, and which has a bunch of good moral pointers to carry them through life. For a sincere Catholic, it is just exactly the other way around. The world is something that God has given us sort of as an exercise. When we were put in this world, God gave us dominion over it (think Adam and Eve). They sinned and fell, in doing so, they gave dominion over this world AND themselves to Satan, and he has been the ruler of the world ever since (John 12:31, John 14:30, John 16:11). The Catholic Church is Christ operating in the world to bring people back to the state in which they were created initially. Go into any Catholic Church in the world, and look up towards the front, you will see a candle burning. That candle indicates that Our Blessed Lord is physically present, waiting in the tabernacle, for you. The Catholic Church is God Incarnate, we are in this fallen world with a bunch of non-believers who, shall we say, don't have their priorities straight. The Catholic Church if our lifeline to the life that we were created for, and where we hope to spend all eternity.

Answer 5

Roman Catholic AnswerBecause it is the only Church that Jesus Christ established. Moreover, He promised to be with it until the end of the world, and sent the Holy Spirit to guide It into all truth. Every other "Church" was established centuries after Jesus ascended and it was established by one man or another for his own beliefs. It is the Church that wrote, approved, and guarded The Bible for the past two thousand years, it is the Church that speaks Our Blessed Lord's Word in season and out, and despite constant persecution - which Jesus Himself foretold - It remains - as He promised - intact for the past twenty centuries and until the end of the world. It is the only Church that can speak for Christ, the only way in which He promised salvation. To ignore His words, and all of history is done only at one's own peril - eternal peril.
