Why Do Catholics Practice Infant Baptism?

 When my husband and I first started discussing marriage and children, there were a lot of religious questions. At the time, he was non-denominational and I was Catholic. I expected that our children would be baptized right away, as I had been. He thought they should have the choice to be baptized as adults… even though it was something he had never experienced. By the time he was old enough to get baptized in his church, he had already joined the Marine Corps and moved too often to develop a new faith community.  infant baptism

How To Pray During Eucharistic Adoration

If you have never heard of Eucharistic Adoration, then you are missing out on a truly life-changing form of prayer.

Since Catholics believe that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist, then a consecrated host is no longer just a piece of bread. It has become the Body of Christ. It doesn’t just represent Christ or remind us of Christ. The Eucharist is Christ.

Why Do Catholics Have A Pope And Bishops?

Some Protestant faiths believe almost everything the Church teaches… but they reject the authority of the Pope. They ask, “why do Catholics have a Pope and bishops?”

For Catholics, the Pope is a direct successor of the apostles. We can trace a line directly from the current Pope back through the centuries to St. Peter. Where did St. Peter get the authority to become the first Pope? That commissioning came directly from Jesus, when he said, “You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. Whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:18-19). In this passage, Jesus was clearly giving Peter authority over the Church on earth.
