Father Diaz didn’t mention the second alter behind the cruciform... the second alter is used for the Tridentine form of the holy mass, which is traditionally said facing the alter and the celebrant only faces the people during sermon and communion, and instead of English it’s said in Latin... As a Catholic I respect Your interest in our faith... If you are curious at all in learning about the old Latin form of catholic mass, I recommend you look into contact the priestly society of Pius the 10th god bless and have a blessed day

Trekker, it is my understanding that the difference you identified is, in part, the difference between a symbol and a sacrament. Evangelical Protestants believe in symbols - baptism is a symbol, communion/Eucharist is a symbol, etc. Catholics (and Lutherans, which is my history, and Anglican?) believe in sacraments, which hold similarities while at the same time are definitely different. You might be interested in doing research on what a sacrament is and how they are part of these faith ceremonies and theologies. Am understanding in sacraments puts the actions into a whole new context. (The Catholic Church has seven sacraments while the Lutheran church has only two: baptism and the Eucharist.)

[@mygirlpiper]

Trekker Mueth Thank you for your open mind Trekker I am a Catholic and it was so refreshing watching a civil and respectful conversation between two different denomination's - We Catholics believe in The Mystical Body of Christ, meaning " The True Presence of Jesus Christ in our 7 sacraments we offer" they become living sacraments because we believe our ordained Priest and Bishops have the power to call down The Holy Spirit amongst us to make those sacraments become living sacraments of the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ - For God has no past and God is not future He is always PRESENT ! - When the Priest does the sacrificial part of the mass, The offering of the bread and wine TRULY becomes The Body and Blood Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ " in the Eucharist Jesus is Truly Present." We do not repeat Cavalry we participate in the Cross at Calvary " you are truly present at Jesus sacrifice at Calvary through the Mystical Body of Christ." The power to call upon The Father through The Holy Spirit to change the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus is an awesome part of the mass performed in humility by the priest. Another living sacrament is the confessional booth, we believe the Priest who calls upon the Holy Spirit just becomes a vessel and we are actually confessing our sins to Jesus Christ himself, even though the perception a lot people have is that you are just confessing to a plain old man " no, the Priest becomes filled with the Holy Spirit and then we confess to a higher power and not just a man ! - There's just a couple of examples of we Catholics totally believe that our Church truly has the Mystical Body Of Christ and how our sacraments become Alive with the TRUE PRESENCE OF CHRIST - That's the heart of our Faith We Believe In His True Presence !!! - Hope I helped a little and TC.

Caroline, just to encourage you, I want to say that despite our denominations you'll always find open minded Christians in any group. Unfortunately, KZbin brings out a lot of arrogant people so you don't always see that. And it's disheartening as I've been called some terrible things by Catholics on here just for being Protestant. (FYI, there have been both RCCs and Protestants in my family's German side since the Reformation) But keep your head up, because most of us just wish to share the love of Christ with each other regardless of how we worship. 🙂 So from this Canadian I say: God Bless you. 🇨🇦

God created man, man created religion! God created man to serve Him, man created religion for its followers to serve. Man serves religion more than they serve God. Jesus wants us to follow Him, not religion. Jesus said I Am the way, not religion is the way. Jesus said Follow Me, not follow me then pick some brand of worldly religion to follow also. Jesus never followed a religion. In fact Jesus was against the religious people of His day and He even went as far as to call them the children of the devil. The 12 disciples never followed religion, they only followed Jesus. People seek after religion because Jesus and the Gospel are no longer enough for them. As Jesus is no longer enough for them they create a religion to follow. It is like the people of Moses' day, where the people created a golden calf and worshiped it. Religious people always need a religion to go through to get to God. Christians only need Jesus to get to Him and the Father. Any time that a church tells you that you have to go through them to get to God it is usually a cult. Christians will always attack religion because IT is not of God. Catholics will always defend their religion because THEY are not of God. You are either a Catholic or a Christian but you cannot be both. Either you follow Jesus or religion but you cannot follow both. Either you preach the Gospel or Catholicism but you cannot preach both. Catholicism isnt Christianity. It is mystery Babylon, the great harlot, the fornicator with all religions of the world. And she will be made destitute!! She will be stripped bare and cast into the burning lake of fire for all eternity. Catholics love their pagan idols such as mary queen of heaven and baby jesus. This mother and child were worshiped in Babylon as Ishtar and Tammuz, which is exactly what Catholics worship today. In Egypt the mother and child were worshiped as Isis and Osiris or Horus. In India the mother and child were worshiped as as Isi and Iswara. In China and Japan they are worshiped as the mother goddess Shing-moo with child. In Greece as Ceres or Irene and Plutus In Rome as Fortuna and Jupitor-puer, or Venus and Adurnis In Scandinavia as Frigga and Balder. In Phoenicia as Ashtoreth and Baal. It's time to turn away from religion!! It's time to put DOWN your religion, pick UP your cross and FOLLOW Jesus!!! Repent of your idol worshiping ways, repent of your religion, for the kingdom of Heaven is near!! Only Jesus is the way!! Jesus is the narrow path to salvation. Catholicsm is the broad path to destruction. Choose Jesus!!!

dak147 I doubt anyone worships pieces of wood and plaster and think that’s its God. “Catholics worship statues!” People still make this ridiculous claim. statuary forget about the many passages where the Lord commands the making of statues. For example: “And you shall make two cherubim of gold [i.e., two gold statues of angels]; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece of the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be” (Ex. 25:18-20). Similarly Ezekiel 41:17-18 describes graven (carved) images in the idealized temple he was shown in a vision, for he writes, “On the walls round about in the inner room and [on] the nave were carved likenesses of cherubim.” During a plague of serpents sent to punish the Israelites during the exodus, God told Moses to “make [a statue of] a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it shall live. So Moses made a bronze serpent, and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit any man, he would look at the bronze serpent and live” (Num. 21:8-9).

[@HappyCatholicDeacon]

@@Alexander-fr1kk I went from Pentecostal to Lutheran first after a crisis of faith. The birth of our 3rd daughter came with many complications and we prayed and "stood in faith" - but I felt as if I had lost my faith when I gave up "believing" for the miracle and let the doctor's do what they needed to do. My daughter and wife were fine thanks be to God! But that led me to question much of my upbringing and what I had been taught from the scriptures. We examined all of the denominations, who started them, what they each believed - and chose Lutheran as the 1st Protestants. That gave me some handle on the ideas of sacraments for God's grace, etc - but that just opened more questions in my heart. Than I read a book by a respected teacher "How to Go from Being a Good Evangelical to a Committed Catholic in Ninety-Five Difficult Steps" by Christian Smith. He had converted to the Catholic church and after reading that book, I started to examine the teachings of the Catholic church from Catholic sources...and realized I had been fed myths and lies about the Catholic church all my life. Every obstacle I had to the Catholic church melted as I read from early church writers and examined scriptures with my Protestant lens. I entered the church in 2012 -but would walk that journey alone for 4 years as my wife and children did not enter with me. I was not sure they ever would....but by God's grace - they entered in 2016 as well.

I’m a Catholic convert from Protestantism and I was not surprised by your reaction to the confessional. When I was was going through RCIA, I was most nervous about the upcoming confession, as I was a pretty rowdy person and had some doozies to confess. However, when the moment came and I struggled through that first confession, the priest was amazing in his support, counsel, and overall demeanors decision tone and while I’d confessed these things and apologized to God for them in the past. Something about hearing some pronounce the words of absolution over you is powerful. I practically skipped away from that confession feeling lighter than I had in years. Since that time, I still get nervous before a confession and I’ve have some great priests and counsel and some that weren’t as good, but regardless I’m always glad I went when I’m done.

I'm not catholic or even christian anymore for many reasons, but that is not what I want to talk about. When I was a catholic my protestant friends always made comments like "I don't need a priest to intercede. I can speak to God directly." But what I think that Protestants don't really understand is that it is easy to confess to an invisible god when you are alone in a room. But confessing to another human person is very difficult. You make yourself vulnerable. I have spent many Friday afternoons in the confession in tears. There is a powerful catharsis in catholic confession. And if you have a really good priest your penance will not just be prayers. I have one priest who would tell me to do things like "go home and tell your mother you love her." or do something nice for someone that I may have hurt. Those were always the most difficult forms of penance and the best. The feeling of lightness afterward is amazing.

I joined the Catholic Church at the age of 56, I grew up Baptist and believed that all Catholics were of the Devil. To say that I was prejudice of Catholicism is putting it lightly. But after reading through the Bible for 4 years, some things started to be revealed to me, I’ve been a Christian all my life and served in the church’s I attended, lead classes, I was even a deaconess, I felt that I was in a place where I knew God very well, but I guess I felt like I needed to step it up a notch. I said a prayer to God asking a simple prayer requesting to know God more and when I started reading through the Bible every year. The year before I started reading through the Bible our Pastor challenged us to do so and I, being who I was, said I’ve been reading through the Bible all of my life, in other words I knew it all. But my Husband of 35 years went a head and took up our pastor’s challenge and completed the entire Bible the first year and I witnessed a transformation. So when the new year came a long, I took up the challenge and read through the entire Bible. It was good, so we did it the next year, and I kept asking God to reveal more. The third year I picked up a new Bible reading plan that reads through the Bible, but instead of reading cover to cover, you read the New Testament along with the Old Testament. That is when my eyes began to open. And my Husband and I were beginning to get excited, because the Old Testament was revealing the New and New was revealing the Old Testament. I didn’t know this at the time but the Catholic’s called that typology. At the end of my fourth year of reading through the Bible, we were heading into the Christmas Season and we were reading Revelations and around the 4th and 5th chapters something happened, I guess it had been happening for the last four years but now I knew, that I needed to become Catholic. It was in the 4th and 5th chapters that I recognized what Catholics call the Litany of the Mass. So we contacted the Catholic Church near us and it is amazing. My Family doesn’t like it, they say the things I used to say. Oh and the Pope Benedict steps down and we get Pope Francis and all the news revealing all the bad bishops and priests in the church, how can I defend that? I grew up Protestant, I’ve seen everything. I’ve been through many Church breakups and have witnessed many pastors yanked from their positions for all kinds of reasons, I’ve lived through Tammy Fae and Swaggart, these are just the celebrities. The point is, we are all sinners in need of a savior and Jesus is my Savior. Everything I was taught about the Catholic Church growing up were just stories. Like Catholics don’t read the Bible, wow, we have Mass everyday, and the Old Testament is read then the Psalms, followed by the New Testament and completed by a reading from the Gospels. This is every Mass. God brought me closer all the way to Heaven.

I came into the church this Easter. I was Protestant my whole life, and it wasn't until our children started attending Catholic school, that I started asking questions and wanting to learn more. I appreciate that you put this together with an unbiased standpoint. You're absolutely right, all denominations are based on their interpretations. I grew up around people that vilified Catholics, and now that I am one, I discovered that their opinions about them were just that, their opinions and interpretations. They have no way of knowing they are right any more than the Catholics do. At the end of the day I say that it is our faith in Christ and our goal to live a life that follows His teachings through faith and work.

Maria Robles, the true light of the world is indeed Jesus, He is present in the blessed Sacrament. The theology is based on John 6:32-68. If you believe Jesus is God, the second person of the trinity, who with the Father created the heavens and earth, ...walked on water, turned water into wine, ...could He not sacramentally turn bread into his body, and wine into his blood? May the peace and blessings of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be upon you.

He BECAME the scapegoat from Exodus... that we must stare at our sins (the serpent) nailed to a wooden cross... and then understand that Christ IS THE ANSWER which God made... that Christ is the restoration of Perfect Justice (ie righteousness).

They pour out drink offerings to other gods to arouse my anger. 19But am I the one they are provoking? declares the Lord. Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame? *Ecc.1:* 8All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. 9What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. 10Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. *1Cor.10:* 11These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. 12So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 13No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 14Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.
