I was raised Catholic my whole entire life until 11 years ago after my mother suddenly passed away.  I wanted to get my life in order so I met with the Catholic priest and as soon as I told him that I had 2 step children he stopped me.  I'm not married to a Catholic and didn't get married in the church and he said that I couldn't take communion and that my husband had to get an anullment.  Really broke my heart.  They keep these priests that molest little boys and just move them to another church.!  That's okay?  But me not being married to Catholic isn't okay?!  Sad huh?  So to answer your question, no!

If Jesus (of Christianity fame) was a man, then he had a father. It is a requirement of birth.

My father is a Reverend,Pastor,Preacher, Ordain Bishop or Minister which ever you prefer. He has been all this as long as I can remember, he has always has a job, beside being a father he has been a security guard when I was younger, he worked in a store, he used to work in a parking garage and now he has worked as a Teacher's assistant for 9 years!! He works with high school kids, he doesnt' get any money from the church, like other ministers, even though being a minister is a tough jobs and they should get paid as well as deacons. My father has made it to himself to work hard and provide for his children on his own.

I've done something like what you described... setting down my journey in writing. There are some differences in the experience for me, of course, since I am Catholic. We call our little spot in the house a 'prayer corner' instead of an altar, since altars have specific meaning for us. \n\nBut in real sense we are all priests, as St. Peter describes us as a "royal priesthood", and it is good to reflect in writing on how well you are doing at the job. :-)

I don't know where you get your information from.  You have been misinformed.  There are some so called "Catholics" that are misguided, as well as many others.  I was raised and taught in Catholic schools.  Not once, did anyone ever suggest praising statues or worshiping anyone or anything other than (Jesus, Holy Spirit & the Father) Holy trinity = one God.  We believe in offering prayers for loved ones, and we believe that the Staints offer they're prayers for the living.  But if someone was to assume that Catholics are taught to worship anyone or anything other than God, they are sadly mistaken.  Statues, pictures, etc... are reminders of who are good examples of how to live as Christ did.  Just like having pictures of your children.  The pictures are NOT your children, but an image of your children.  you would feed, clothe or talk to the picture.  Being Cathoilic does not mean that you are out of touch with reality.

Think Priests ought to be able to marry and this would stop a lot of it.\nAlso, somebody is out to smear them by exposing.\nand......truth be known, just as much goes on in other denominations...of which I am one.\ndeed

There is a passage in the Bible that says that the sins of the fathers will be visited upon the children. I don't think that it means that in a literal sense God will punish children for their parents' wrongdoing. Rather, I think it means that the actions of the parents will have consequences that will affect the children.

as far as I've heard, there have been consessions made recently to permit creamation. Specifically there have been prayers and services written up specifically geared towards catholic practitioners. My father is catholic and wishes to be creamated. \nI'm sure many hard core catholics, however, still frown upon this. Ask your priest if you are curious about what your specific parish does in the case of cremation.

Actually, the honorary is "Holy Father." That's the custom of the Catholic Church ... "your grace" and "your emminence" are used for cardinals. Bishops and archbishops are "Bishop Smith," priests are "Father Smith" or "Father Tom," and monsignors are "Monsignor Smith."

The focus of a priest is the people. The focus of a spiritual master is himself.

First of all, God is not human, thus is not a man... His son was while living on Earth.  Goodness, no need to answer every question with God as the answer.  He'll understand if you like, honor, and appreciate someone other than Him.\n\nSecond, to personally answer the question, it is my older brother.  We are very close in age, we grew up together, played together, learned together and we are still as close today as adults as we were as children.  I honestly like him as a human being because he is good and kind.\n\nMy father is an extreme close second because of the example he set for his family - strong work ethic, strong sense of self, and love of his family.

No!!\n\nIf the man was really wanting to become a priest, he would only be interested as your friend - nothing else!!\n\nThink about it - Its a sin if he did and became a priest
