Catholicism

Well, honey, Catholics typically stick to their own approved translations like the New American Bible or the Douay-Rheims Bible. The Holman Christian Standard Bible isn't one of their go-to choices, but hey, if a Catholic wants to read it for personal study, they're free to do so. Just don't go quoting it in Sunday mass and expect everyone to nod along, capisce?

It actually it is from a Hebrew word that literally means, "save now, we pray." It could also mean a cry to the Lord. People sang this before the Crucifixion of Jesus in Calvary. Listen to this song: Hosanna by Hilsong United. It can further explain :).

"Keep the Faith"

In Latin, it would mean 'Hosanna in the Highest'.

In my country in Spanish it would be "Osana en el Cielo", or if you translate this in English it would be "The Holy one is in the Heavens" or "All of God that is in Heaven". There are many different ways to interpret it.

According to Vatican historians who had access to the Vatican Secret Archives and some documents within the Apostolic Penitentiary and according to the oral traditions of the Early Churches located in the Middle East and Asia Minor, there are certain families or houses typically known to have blood descent from certain Apostles of Jesus.

For example, the surname Andraos is attributed to Andrew (Andraos = Andrew), the surname Semaan is attributed to Simon Peter (Semaan = Simon), the surname Matta is attributed to Matthew (Matta = Matthew), the surname Hanna is attributed to John (Youhanna = Hanna = John), and the same applies to the rest of the Apostles.

Generally, these families are still Christian today, and they reside mostly in the Levant, the region covering Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and parts of Turkey.

They belong to Churches such as the Greek Orthodox (Antioch), the Melkite Greek Catholic (Antioch), the Syriac Orthodox (Antioch), and the Syriac Catholic (Antioch).

Andy Williams was raised in a Lutheran household but converted to Catholicism later in life. He was married in a Catholic ceremony at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City in 1991. Williams remained a practicing Catholic until his passing in 2012.

Yes, "Friar" should be capitalized when referring to a specific individual or as part of a title, such as "Friar Tuck" or "Friar John." However, if used generically to refer to any friar in a non-specific way, it would not be capitalized, for example, "the friar at the monastery."

Well, let's think of the Gospels like different colors on our palette. The order of length of the Gospels, from longest to shortest, is Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John. Each Gospel brings its own unique perspective and beauty to the canvas of the Bible. Just as each color is important in creating a masterpiece, each Gospel plays a special role in telling the story of Jesus.

Extreme Catholics are often referred to as traditionalist Catholics or ultra-conservative Catholics. These individuals adhere strictly to traditional Catholic teachings and practices, often rejecting Vatican II reforms and advocating for a return to pre-Vatican II practices. They may also be associated with groups such as the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) or sedevacantism, which reject the authority of the current Pope.

Oh honey, a biretta is that fancy hat worn by Catholic clergy, like a fashion statement straight out of the Vatican. It's got those three ridges on top representing the Trinity, making sure everyone knows they're not just wearing any old hat. So next time you see a priest rocking a biretta, just remember it's not just a hat, it's a whole religious vibe.

Most likely not. The Church recognizes the baptism of souls in most Protestant religions as being sacramental. This means they are the same as being baptized in the Catholic church. In order to be sure, talk to your priest or catechist to determine if through the RCIA program you need to be baptized or not.

Oh, dude, "I am my brother's keeper" is a phrase from the Bible. It basically means you should look out for your siblings or take responsibility for their well-being. So, like, if your brother forgets his lunch, you're the one who has to save the day with a PB&J sandwich.

A building for a community of nuns and monks is typically referred to as a monastery or convent. Monasteries are residences where monks live and practice their religious beliefs, while convents serve the same purpose for nuns. These buildings often include living quarters, prayer rooms, libraries, and other facilities to support the spiritual and communal life of the residents. Monasteries and convents can vary in size and architectural style depending on the religious order and traditions they belong to.

"Wet dreams" are vivid dreams that cause males to become sexually excited during sleep to the point of a nocturnal emission. According to the moral teachings of the Church, "wet dreams" are simply not sinful. This is because they occur without the full consent of the will. Since there is not proper consent, it cannot be sinful. Even in those rare cases where the person may feel as if he is controlling the dream's events, his will is still not culpable. If the person still has scruples, he should talk to his confessor.

What can be sinful is whether anything was done before sleep that would cause such dreams (looking at immodest pictures, or readings, etc.). Also, upon waking from such a dream, the man should seek to calmly clear his mind of the images that may be present there. To linger upon them can become sinful.

In the years from 1875 to 2124, Easter has appeared (or will appear) on April 18th in the Western Church on the following years: 1897, 1954, 1965, 1976, 2049, 2055, 2060, 2106, and 2117. I emphasize the "Western Church" because the Church in the East (the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches) utilize a different calendar to calculate the date for Easter.

For more on the date of Easter, see the "Related links" below.

"In excelsis" is Latin for 'in the highest'. The phrase is found in many Christian expressions in the New Testament. It is also a part of the ordinary mass, and is the title of many major classical productions. Vivaldi, Bach,, Mozart and others have musical masses in which a significant section is entitled the excelsis, or Gloria in excelsis deo. YouTube has many performances of the Gloris, as part of major musical productions through the last few hundred years.

All Protestant denominations had their origins in the Catholic Church. Some of them broke directly from the Catholic Church, such as Anglicans and Lutherans. Others eventually split from the original Protestant denominations such as the Baptists, Puritans (Congregationalists), Methodists, etc., to form their own sects. The Orthodox Churches were part of the original Catholic Church but split with them in the Great Schism of 1054 due to doctrinal differences. However, members of the Orthodox Churches are not considered as Protestant denominations.

No COGIC clergy including Bishops earn a Salary unless they are an employee of the International Church (which is an Incorporated business) or a local church (which are independently incorporated) . If they are employees then specific rules apply with regard to tax with holdings. Most monies received are called Honorariums, and are not subject to the same strict tax rules. However, it is expected for COGIC clergy to individually report monies received for services rendered to the IRS.

Please keep in mind, COGIC clergy are not paid for doing ministerial work, an Honorarium is not considered mandatory or expected.

The General Board of the COGIC along with the Presiding Bishop, General Supervisor and Elected-Officers each may receive a specific Honorarium set at the discretion of the General Assembly. All information is made public to those ordained clergy and specifically chosen lay members participating in the General Assembly.

The mass texts that are recited every day

Yes. I was born on the Wednesday before Easter in 1943. My birthday date is April 21. April 25 is the latest that Easter falls for Christians except in the Orthodox church when it can fall even later. I think my neighbor told me that Passover has to occur before her church celebrates Easter.

Until 1517, there were only two branches of Christianity; the Roman Catholic Church, which had the Pope as its head, and the Eastern Catholic Church, also known as the Orthodox Catholic Church, which was led by the Patriarch of Constantinople (later called Istanbul). If you were Christian, you were Catholic. In 1517, a Catholic Monk named Martin Luther nailed a list of 95 things he found wrong with the Church on the door of his parish church in Wittenburg, Germany (although lately there has been some question whether or not he actually and literally Nailed them). These were the 95 Thesis that were the basis of the Protestant Reformation. The "Protestant Reformation" was so called because Martin Luther, and the people who followed him, Protested the injustice and downright Blasphemy that they saw in the Catholic Church. There were all sorts of practices of the Church with which they disagreed, but the two Basic ideas that inspired the Protestant Reformation were (1) the idea that Every person had personal access to God, and had no need of a Priest to mediate with God for him/her, and (2) the premise that Faith alone was sufficient for Salvation. The Catholic Church held, and still does, that a combination of Faith and Service (works) was necessary. The churches that carried on these beliefs are called Protestant, and the people who attend are known as Protestants.

The Seven Deadly Sins in Tagalog are translated as "Ang Pitong Kasalanan ng Makamundo." In Tagalog, "Ang" means "the," "Pitong" means "seven," "Kasalanan" means "sins," and "ng Makamundo" means "of the world." Therefore, the complete translation is "The Seven Sins of the World" in English.
