CATHOLIC BELIEFS - QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The first use of "Catholic" was by the church father Saint Ignatius of Antioch in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans (circa 110 AD). In the context of Christian ecclesiology, it has a rich history and several usages.

Catholicism is the traditions and beliefs of Catholic Churches. It refers to their theology, liturgy, morals and spirituality. The term usually refers to churches, both western and eastern, that are in full communion with the Holy See. The Catholic Church is the main and earliest form of Christianity.

A lot of people have misconceptions about Catholic Beliefs and the Church. This Catholic Beliefs app answers questions about what the Church really teaches.

Basic Catholic Beliefs include:

•Catholics are, first and foremost, Christians who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

•The Bible is the inspired, error-free, and revealed word of God.

•Baptism, the rite of becoming a Christian, is necessary for salvation — whether the Baptism occurs by water, blood, or desire.

•God’s Ten Commandments provide a moral compass — an ethical standard to live by.

•The existence of the Holy Trinity — one God in three persons. Catholics embrace the belief that God, the one Supreme Being, is made up of three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
