Why am I Catholic? (by KaterinaMarie)

This video gives six reasons for being Catholic: 1) the Eucharist, 2) the Church, 3) the Sacraments, 4) Mary, 5) Marriage (actual and spiritual), and 6) Communion of Saints.

The music is the theme song of the 2005 World Youth Day.

What beautiful music! Was this perhaps sung at World Youth Day?

Rosary is not praying to beads. It's praying ON them to God and Mary. Protestants, in my opinion, are the perverted and lazy ones. When there is a problem in the Church, you fix it, you don't leave it, no matter how long it takes to fix. Do you think God wanted us to be united, or split up? Besides if we all took the Bible literally, we'd all be missing eyes and some limbs.

Of course the Orthodox church IS a Christian church. They are not in communion with us (sadly), but they believe almost the same that we (Catholics) do. That being said, it's a gross mistake and quite hateful to call the Pope an heresy. Since Christ himself established Peter as the first Pope, even current Orthodox theologians accept the primacy of the Bishop of Rome among Christians. If the Pope is just a "Primus inter pares" or the highest Church's authority, that's what keeps us apart.

Niether you nor her understand our teachings or our reasons for doing such. It's not an insult to call out a lie or ignorance. You simply don't understand why we venerate Jesus's beloved mother.

I live in America, but I can't just assume all Protestants or Jews here are really bad people so you are a liar for saying every Catholic in Poland is bad. Your ignorance about our doctrines is hilarious. I feel like I'm talking to a 13 year old. Anyway most of your post is baseless assumptions with no proof to back up your critizisms or why anything you listed is wrong or is a sin. So there is no need for me to respond to it.

The Catholic Church is predominantly Latin (western) in her liturgy and traditions, but she has "an eastern lung" too. There are many Catholic churches in the east that keep the so-called orthodox liturgy and discipline, although they are fully in comunnion with the Holy See and are loyal to the Pope; they are known as the Eastern Rite Churches or Uniates. Hence, the Orthodox Church is an Eastern Church not in comunnion with Rome.
