In the name of the Father, Mother, Son, Holy, Spirit, Amen.

This is the original sign of the cross.

The devil cannot write or perform this.

Those who are damned will not be able to write or perform this.

I am catholic and the thing I am not getting is why us Christians are persecuting others beliefs. I'm only 15 and an getting ready to be confirmed and I can't stand people saying ( especially other Christians ) that Catholics do satanic things such as the sign of the cross. Or that we worship Mary, we don't worship her in any way we only honor her. So the main point I'm trying to get across here is that it is stupid that we are discriminating against our different beliefs when we are all christ

if you draw the line of a pic of a person you notice the sign of the cross is upside down... hmmm sign of satan? I do the sign of the cross down to my belly botton to make it look more christ cross... I'm actually not a Christian or a Catholic. I'm a pagan spiritist I do some christian spell work with the saints on the 7 day candles and things like that and they answers my request.

I love you catholics. Some of you started reading the bible and really praying to Jesus. Which is wonderful. Then some of you started to recieve God's spirit! Man that's wonderful too, but then you didn't stick with the truth. You came up with a name for it. The catholic charismatic movement. I've never heard this teaching in the catholic religion so this is how I know it's new. The catholic church can't fight the out pouring of God's spirit so they adopt a whole new religion basically.

[soulsurcher]

Oh so it's not in the bible? Well see you lost me there. If it's not found in the Holy bible then it's not of God. Unless backed up by scripture these practices are for naught. I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I don't need a sign to remind me of my saviors death. I know, I belong to God, because I recieved his spirit. I was baptized in his name. The devil does not fear the crucifix he fears the Holy Ghost and the blood. The name is Jesus, because he is the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.

@superlolothunder1 dumbest comment I've ever heard. You know you're wrong when a protestant like myself even defends something about catholicism... The sign of the cross isn't a "Catholic" thing, it's a Christian thing. Early Byzantine mosaics show Jesus forming the sign of the cross. Lutherans, Methodists, Orthodox, Anglicans, etc make the sign of the cross either on the chest or forehead in varying frequency
