The Roman Catholic Church~ Questions

[necrotic freak]

---

i am not saying that they are God, i sed they are strange Gods, coz judging on how people praises them its equivalent to the Almighty One..

now you said it again.

One of my religion teacher answer me this: they are the messengers who'll deliver your prayers to our Lord. from the question why do we pray to saints? actually im confuse that time and still keep on asking her, can't we jaz pray directly to the Lord so no messengers needed?

my dear saints are not Gods...

well.. you really need RC catechism badly.. prone kaayo ka ana sa mga born against..

wouldn't have bothered to react but was a bit thrown off by your "born against" word play.
If saints are not considered as Gods, why do "some" people pray TO them? Why do they try their best to wipe their hankies to the image in the belief that they will be healed or that their problems will be solved?

Mao na akong question ever since. Take note of the word "some", because I know not all Catholics are practicing this.

born and baptised to be a catholic i respect my religion very well, but as i am growing and start to learn everything i change some of it.. no one say to me to do it, i jaz do it myself. wat i am trying to say is dat i am not the kind of catholic who praises saints. for my own understanding as what i read on the bible, it stated on the ten commandments: i am the Lord thy God thou shall not have strange God before me. So thats explain why coz its actually, saints are some of the strange God. I only believe in one God. He calls himself Jehovah or Yahweh...

Please know the difference between worship and veneration sis.

then again, looks can be very decieving...
sometimes we even praise other people(mga sikat-sikat)
as if they're God..Lol

Please don't base your understanding about the CAtholic faith by what you see...
it is best to seek answers and deepen your understanding. Tip lang na sis, dili ni pagdikta.

same answer with the question, why do you ask your friends to pray for you..
as Chrsitians we ought to pray for one another, diba Jesus said your love for another will prove that you are my disciples.

and Praying to the Saints | Catholic Answers

regarding trapo2x, it's a personal way of venerating..i don't do it kay wala lang ko na convict, i'm more on trying to follow the saint's examples.
but i don't have problems with other catholics "trapo2x" hehehe...like i said it's personal
Like sa pagtrapo sa picture sa atong palalabs hinlabi na ug nalayo or di ba kaha poster or item sa usa ka TV personality nga atong gihangaan nga naa sa ato.

point is, as long as the catechism of the Catholic Church is concerned kay Saints are honored, considered as prayer wariors(departed lang kay we also have prayer wariors who are still with us) but NOT worshiped.
