being a rev.father has its pros and cons.men who decide to be rev.fathers know fully well that they will not have wives or children.
Usually the priest sees the church members as his family or the closest thing he has to a family.

That's why before and during the years of formation the rev.fr has a lot of time to think it over and over.

It's just how it is,just the way you sometimes forfeit one thing in other to achieve another thing in life.i could give you practical examples but we're in a public forum.

Show me where in the Bible that justifies this practice. Where Jesus Christ mentioned it. Not what they told you. Who gave the catholic church authority to be making laws different from the Bible and Jesus teaching

Broad is the way that leads to destruction and narrow is the way that leads to life. Catholic church has a lot of people because it is EASY CHRISTIANITY. Church of convenience. Sin today and go and confess tomorrow. Lol (Another false teaching).

SilentRiddles:


The catholic church is not the Bible or Jesus. It cannot make new laws, different from Jesus or the Bible. Don't follow church. Follow the Bible. Read the Bible yourself, not what they tell you.

Keep quiet. Who compiled that Bible u are holding You only know of Christianity because of the sacrifices of Catholic church. You these mushroom Pentecostal businesses are funny. Everything u do is out of ignorance. First u criticize then turn around to copy. Smh

Well I still think it's unfair but thank you for explaining it to me anyway. Its good for different denominations of the church to discuss important issues...Cheers

SilentRiddles:


No, they aren't. Where do you want to start? Is it the worship of Mary or saints? The statues of idolatry? Where did Jesus mention that people should become priests and not marry? Do you preach being born again, the core message of Jesus? The catholic church making new rules for their members, and challenging the authority of the Bible and Jesus Christ.

like I said,please check up your dictionary and try to find the difference between worship and honour.

Mary and the saints are more like people who have sacrified all for God .we hope to be like them too one day.we try as much as we can to emulate their good virtues

As for the idolatry part,I dunno why I have to repeat myself on the fact that we do not worship idols.they are there simply to remind us of the real persons .
I bet you're a pentecostant .I've always wondered myself why you always use the pictures of your pastors inside the church,like are they the owners of the church or what

The part of priests not marrying,it actually has a biblical reference and it is not by force to be a priest.

Catholic church preaches salvation as much as Pentecostal do

Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God - Jesus Christ.

Are you born again? Do they teach you that in Catholic church? No, you all just go for formality. No real experience with the Spirit or the Word. They teach you lies about history but none of you can quote or back your argument from the Bible. Catholic made sacrifices and compiled the Bible. Lol. Another lie they tell them to stop them from reading the Bible themselves and discovering the truth.

Oh please, thats another thing i forgot to ask.. what really is the purpose of that confession of a thing?

Quote the Bible, my friend. Oh, you don't know the Bible. Where did Jesus say you should confess to another sinner (your priest). Confess to God, repent and be born again. He will give you His spirit and you will hate sin and don't need to confess again.

Open the Bible and read. Start from John chapter 1. One chapter a day. You will discover the truth yourself.

It's a false teaching. He will not be able to cite anywhere in the Bible that supports or justifies it. The catholic church is full of false teachings and their members rarely have any true relationship with God. Confess your sin to God only and He will cleanse you once and for all!

Lol u are just a clown sha. What do u know of being born again. U think it's the childish drama u guys act in your business center/fashion square that's being born again. Jokers!Catholic church has waged wars against the gates of hell for over two thousand years! If u are not a Catholic u can never understand it's ways. U only do things that momentarily excite the body but ur soul is empty. Even ur pastors know they are just acting a movie script for u. Clowns!

Nobody has been able to quote the Bible because you don't know the Bible because they keep the Bible away from you. That summarises everything.

My sister, if I analyse and tell you why the Catholic church was established, you will be shocked. The mass of people that attend have no idea what it is all about. The twisting of the teachings of the Bible is deliberate to lead many people astray and keep them from truly knowing and following God.

You are not telling a person. The priest is Christ's authority on Earth. Why do u take ur troubles to ur pastor But u do that because it's convenient for u. Catholic church is not a place of convenience. It's ways are not your ways. If u want to learn, then come to cathechism

Lol!!

I hope he is accomplished now.

Sadly he still crave for, and celebrate the "mass" that is resigned from. So, from all the things going on, one is correct to say it was marriage and procreation that was his problem, and not Catholicism that he made people to believe.

Congratulations to nwa Fada!

To be honest, I tried attending catholic services when i was in school but it wasnt my thing.

Show me catechism in the Bible.

Show me where Jesus Christ said the Priest (a sinner himself) is Christ's authority on earth.

You may talk to people and seek their advice and prayer, but confession is to God only. They just keep twisting BIble everywhere for these people and they are swallowing them hook, line and sinker.

It can't be ur thing because udont understand. First of all it's not a "service". If u want service u can get that in Pentecostal amusement parks/fashion parade. But if u choose to be a Catholic u will have to open ur mind and ur heart. There are many sacrements in Catholic church, d one u are referring to is penance.

Do you think Jesus Christ hated the Pharisees? Why didn't he just ignore them and focus on His disciples, you know, "live and let's live" things? No, Jesus always criticised them and called them hypocrites and vipers and they hated Jesus for saying the truth and exposing their lies and deceits? If you have the Spirit of God, you will hate every form of satanic manipulations.

This is the problem, somebody is asking you a genuine question and youre being unnecessarily hostile. Im not interested in being a Catholic I just want to know what the whole thing is about because truly you people are quite enigmatic

The way I was trained, a church gathering is referred to as a service, so thats what Im going to call it

After vociferating you havent actually told me what the hail mary is supposed to do

I hope you've read the Bible passages I gave you.its not like you'll admit you're wrong anyways.if you want more biblical references on our teachings and doctrines make use of Google or better still feel free to visit any Catholic church near you for further clarification.

Your question sounds like you want to make jest of the Church. A subtle way of asking questions meant to denigrate another.

For the avoidance of doubt, I will answer you.
But I will rephrase your question to this.
'Why does the priest give the confessor PRAYERS to say and what does the prayers do?'

I am sure that after I have rephrase your questions, the answer is right there starring you at your face.

The confession is in the sacrament of penance. The prayers given by the priest are meant to help or guide you make your penance. It is not the only prayer that you should say. You should ask God for forgiveness but in asking him for forgiveness, you should say and meditate on the prayers which the priest have given you during the confession.

It is not only the Hail Mary, I wonder your obsession with the Hail Mary. It consists of many other prayers. It is similar to your pastor praying for you and giving you prayer points when you meet him for counselling.

I hope you have understood this. If your intent is to learn, you can ask a true catholic outside there but if your intent is to make mockery, please don't. Catholics rarely pay attention to people who wants to insult their religion. They simply ignore them.

Im sure you can see it manifesting here. Catholics rarely get into arguments with people who do not have an open heart to learn about them.
Thanks my dear and May God bless you.

the hail Mary is a prayer,the rev.fr could give you any prayer,sometimes use psalm to pray......it varies.
Like the other guy said,if you want further clarifications,please go to a Catholic church near you.

P.s the hail Mary as a prayer also comes from the Bible
