For Catholics: Why Do You Remain Catholic?

[Fri13th]

sure jud ka bro? the same judgement you pass to others will be the judgement that you will recieve.diba naa na sa bible? how come your passing judgements already, or this is just what you've heard or saw?

true, there are catholics who may seem like worshipping idols and whatnot.but you do not see the heart,therefore places you in no position to judge.and besides, are you sure that you don't fail in idolatry as well?
or you could have just taken the commandment about carvings and images too literally.kang kinsa man diay nang image ang naa diha sa Catholic church? diba kang Jesus? images of pagan gods and pasabut ana bro.like sa mga Jews in the time of moses nga naghimu ug golden calf.

and you stating that Catholics don't base their faith in the bible is such a huge claim, i hope you're right 'cause if you ain't you're in Big trouble..i hope the bible you read has teachings about judging others..
and by your claim, it clearly shows that you know nothing about Catholism..why dont you google it or ask a priest if you have questions about the practices,so that you may at least have the slightest idea before you talk.

and on top of that, how could you speak so lowly about other religion, is your religion perfect? are the people in your church perfect?are you perfect?
your attitude simply breaks the 2nd Law which is equally to the first one given
Love your neighbor as yourself..sorry bro, but your way of thinking is the very reason why the Christian Churches are so divided.

The Catholic Sun

Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
There’s always laughter and good red wine.
At least I’ve always found it so.
Benedicamus Domino!

Question sa mga Catholics, unsa ka importante ninyu ang confirmation? if wala mu na confirm mu matter ba ang inyung pagka katoliko? or what if naay mu ingun nga di mu matawag nga tinuod nga katoliko kay wa mu na confirm?

You are still Catholic/Christian by virtue of your baptism.

Confirmation is just one of the seven Sacraments celebrated in the Catholic Chuch (including the 23 sui iuris churches in communion with the Pope) and the Eastern churches.

According to the Catechism of the Church, regarding confirmation:

"Recall then that you have received the spiritual seal, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the Spirit of holy fear in God's presence. Guard what you have received'. God the Father has marked you with his sign; Christ the Lord has confirmed you and has placed his pledge, the Spirit, in your heart."

As I understand it, confirmation is just an initiation into spiritual maturity. It is an affirmation of your Christian belief to become soldiers for Christ -- in words, heart and deed, after your acceptance of Christ during your Baptism.

Catholics believe that Confirmation is based on Biblical precedent such as Acts of the Apostles 8:14-17:

" Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, for it had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit."

Although you may have not undergone through this sacrament, baptized Catholics are still bound to follow the Church teachings unless they have formally renounced their baptism. (Baptism by the way, is the foremost and most important sacrament in Church.)
