Hello everyone,
First off, I want to start off by telling you all that I grew up attending a catholic school and although I was baptized I did not learn anything from my parents. They never took me to church of read me his words so everything I learned about the RC religion was from school or word of mouth. It is also all I've ever known. To be honest I thought Christians and Catholics were pretty much the same and both were loved and accepted by Jesus and God.
Last night I came across a post and some people were saying that the catholic religion is corrupt and Jesus will condemn all Catholics. I did some research to see what the difference is between the two and from my understand it is that Christians believe in only talking to God where Catholics supposedly also pray to angles and Mary. I also read that supposedly the RCC does not want reading of the bible because it takes away from the priest. I have to be honest, every time I attend a mass they read from the bible, and I have yet to hear them pray to Mary. ( I did learn the Hail Mary in school and I do remember being told to say it with the Lord's Prayer after confession ) However I have just recently joined a Church and can't say I've been going long enough to know everything.
Like I said, I've recently joined a Catholic Church and I can't say I follow everything. ( I don't feel like it's what I need to do) For instance; I don't tell a priest my sins, that's something I do alone with Jesus and I do not read up on the pope or follow him whatsoever. I feel like my relationship with God and Jesus is a personal relationship and nobody can tell me different.
Aside from that my son attends a catholic school and has been baptized and my daughter ( who is much younger ) has not been baptized yet. Is baptizing different for Catholics and Christians I guess I just want some feedback. Like ive said I'm not only new to this site but I am also finally starting to find myself.
