Catholicism is a mainstream Christian faith. It has followers in different parts of the world. Being a believer comes with the responsibility of sticking to particular moral matters. There are different catholic views. Most of them have a strong basis on the Holy Scriptures. Some are the products of human consensus that were arrived at important church meetings. The conference of senior clergy that is held on an annual basis is a time when major church decisions are arrived at. Catholicism shares core beliefs with other Christian churches. This is because the different churches have the same foundation. Devout followers abide to stipulated regulations.
The Bible's supremacy is not a subject of debate in Catholicism circles. It is the foundation upon which other Catholic principles are built upon. The sacred texts are the major points of reference. They shed light on what is right and help people to understand forbidden acts and the costs of disobedience. Through real life examples that are explained one can see where the path of fault leads to. The Bible is not only inspired but it is also error free.
Every Catholic has to read, know and understand The Ten Commandments. Without these, the life of a Christian will be directionless without goal or purpose. The path to fulfillment starts at The Commandments. Not only in understanding them and having them written at the back of one's hand but also putting every single law into practice. There are no go zones according to these set of laws. These include murder, adultery, fornication and lust. All the dos can be summarized into love. The love for The Supreme and the love for other humans.
Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity. This is also believed by members of other faiths. The Creator exists in 3 forms. Each member of The Trinity plays a crucial role.
Sin and the removal of sin is a hot button issue in Christian circles. No one is born perfect. Everyone has imputed sin that was passed down from Adam and Eve because of their indulgence in the forbidden fruit. This sinfulness can only be removed by baptism. This involves the pouring of water on a person and the reciting of prayers after which a person will be considered a member of Catholicism and worthy to participate in other important church sacraments such as marriage.
Remission of sins is done by grace. Therefore, a person does not have to do anything to be saved but merely belief. Most of the doctrines of Catholicism are built on the concept of belief. It is hard to explain most matters of the church. Things like miracles are simply unexplainable. Therefore, strong faith is required.
Sex has always been a hotly debated issue in Catholicism circles. The very definition of sexual sin has been a point of contention. But the church has always had a strong, conservative position when it comes to sexual matters.
All churches are associated with certain doctrines. In most cases, doctrines are grounded in the Bible. There is the concept of eternal rewards and punishment. Disobedience leads to hell and obedience to paradise.
