roman catholics worship God and they believe in Jesus and his rising etc. they also believe in saints and hell and communion. their priests can only be unmarried men that's about all i can think of right now, but try kipped
The three that make up "god" (god, Jesus, holy spirit), plus Mary, Joseph, and about 2 million other saints. It's very confusing
Doesn't matter anyway, since there's no evidence of any kind that there is such a thing as god, Jesus, the holy spirit, or any of the rest of it.
Please join the rest of us in the 21st century, and leave ancient superstition and myth behind!
Jesus. All Catholics worship only God the Father Thur His only Son Jesus, who proceeds from the Father by the power of His Holy Spirit. These 3 things are of once essence. All other personalities in Catholocism function as examples of ideal Christians. Roman Catholics follow the Roman rite of THE Catholic Church. Irish Cathoilcs follow the Irish rite, German Catholics follow the German rite, Greek Orthodox follow the...well, hopefully you see the pattern by now
worship (v): to love unquestioningly and uncritically or to excess; venerate as an idol.
So far as I can tell, Catholics worship God, Christ, Mary, and about a billion saints. Unless you missed all the idols they like putting up in their churches, homes, on amulets, and the like.
As far as I can tell (I'm not a christian of any sort.. just an observer and hobby theologian) from observation and reference, the holy Mother Mary first, & the son Christ second...
They worship God. But also pray to saints and the virgin Mary because they don't believe in talking directly to God. They believe that if you pray to the Virgin Mary she will deliver the message to God.
They say Jesus but if you look into there teachings they put Mary (his mom) right up there almost like an idol. "Holy Mary, Mother of God." She was a human and a sinner just like the rest of us. Only God should be "Holy"
The Roman Catholics worship God. They recognize God as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
They have their beliefs summaries in the Apostles Creed:
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitter on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. AMEN.
Roman catholics worship many different symbols besides just Christ. See you have to understand that the catholics have their own Bible with extra books that the standard Bible does not have. Catholics believe that you can not talk to God personally but you have to pray to "the saints" to have them pray for you. That is why they pray to the virgin Mary for example, to have her pray for them. they also believe in purgatory, meaning that when you die you go to a "waiting room" until you have been prayed into heaven. This differs from Christianity because as Christians we believe that we can pray to God directly, as it says in the Bible. All you have to do is accept Him into your heart to go to heaven and you have a personal relationship with Christ. Catholics have a middle man by going to confession and confessing their sins to the priest and etc. They basically have rituals vs. reality.
Officially they worship the Trinity, that is, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit.
Unofficially, they worship Mary, Jesus' Mother, some also call her "Mother of God" which is to place her above God, thus it is idle worship. They have mostly abandoned the worship of Saints, some of whom never actually existed.
Roman Catholics worship the Triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Mary, the mother of God, is revered for her devotion and for her selfless submission to the Father's will.
The Saints are also revered and their aid is invoked for strength, wisdom, and guidance.
We are all called to be in the Communion of Saints and when we pass on to God's kingdom we will be one with the Saints. Very, very few people are condemned to Hell - have faith, love your neighbor, and look forward to eternal life.
