Incense burning, candles lit, chants sung, a congregation of people attending rites and ceremonies administered every mass. A common sight among catholics. A religion full of symbolisms, lavish ceremonies, and celebrations that are endless.
The catholics can be a truly devout-chained-locked type or a more contemporary type. Both are well accepted and practiced. Both are criticized and questioned. Both are Christians.
As years passed, many sects have been established which originated from the Catholic Church. Some denounces catholic teaching, some view them as 'demonic' and 'idolatry'. others just want to make money.
I for one is a devout catholic. I am not holy and a certified sinner. But this is where I find peace and harmony. This is where I find God.
I should not speak ill of other religions but I cannot tolerate as others speak ill of the church. Why can't we just accept the fact that all people have the right to choose their religion and be happy that they are fruitful in what they choose. I hate the fact that my own sister thinks that catholic is the wrong way (the demonic way). Let me say this to you and to the world. Catholics never speak and think ill of your beliefs then might as well respect on what we believe.

The Kingdom of God is here but not yet
A catholic preaching. It means that WE believe that the Kingdom of God is among us, we just don't realize it due to sin. Catholics act now not just on our repentance and ticket-to-heaven but also to the social and moral upbringing of the whole world. We should feel that God is always with us and we experience heaven here on earth.
