[quote:GLP Effect:MV8yOTY3MzkyXzUyNDc1MDM0XzJCNEQ5OTk1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 68617918:MV8yOTY3MzkyXzUyNDc0OTE2XzQwMThDNkQx] What about "Roman" Catholics? For them add in the prayers to mary and the "saints", idolizing the pope and communing with the dead, and weird "relic's" such as vials of blood of dead people that are used ritually and in the same manner as necromancy. [/quote] Simply call us the Catholic church. Prayers to Mary and other saints aren't much different from you asking someone else to pray for you. The only difference is the saints like Mary are praying for us in Heaven. The pope is a leader like a priest or bishop, but at the highest rank. He isn't idolized. The "vial of blood" you referring to is probably the blood of Christ, which is consumed at each mass along with the body of Christ, also known as communion or the Holy Eucharist. When Christ told his apostles at the last supper, "this is my body" and "this is my blood", referring to the bread and wine, he meant it literally. It's a miracle performed at every mass. [/quote]
