How come people belive in the pope and the virgin mary?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you are asking.

All Christians acknowledge the virgin birth of Jesus Christ by Mary. See Luke 1:34.

Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:17-19

Catholics believe the the Lord made Simon alone, whom he named Peter (which means "rock"), the "rock" of his Church. The Pope is Peter's direct successor.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

I believe Mary was a virgin when she got pregnant, but I don't believe she stayed that way her whole life, or how did Jesus get so many brothers and sisters? I believe a bunch of bishops or whatever choose a pope, so yeah, I believe there is a pope, I've seen him on tv. Do you mean believe the pope is sacred or something because he got voted into that office? Nope, I don't, people voted for him, God didn't appoint him. I think the mother of Christ is of course sacred in a way, but as far as believing in her as like praying to her or something, no. I only pray to God, no popes or mothers.

Answer 3

I don't think that Mary is a virgin anymore because Joseph did marry her so I am sure she copulated with him after Jesus was born. The pope does exist but I don't believe him to be god or anything, just another leader in the church.

Answer 4

I think you have been misinformed about the Pope. Catholics don't believe in the Pope, but we do love and honor him. Why he is Pope is because Peter, the first disciple of Jesus was made Pope and was given the keys to the kingdom. As it says in the bible; I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:19. Translation; I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven. People have a difficult time understanding who Mary is and what she stands for. Not to step on anyone's toes but she is only thought of at Christmas time in the stable or praying at the foot of the cross before Jesus when he was dying. Alot of Christians will only think of her {if ever} during those times. We do believe she is the Mother of Jesus, but we don't worship her. We pray to her to intercede for us so we can grow closer to Christ. That is why we pray the Rosary! Here are two websites you can visit to lean more. Happy Hunting!

Answer 5

the first pope was peter who walked with jesus to the end
he , we follow the human teachings from the beginning .
As for Mary we do not worship but rather honor her as the mother of christ.

Answer 6

Because people believe in what they are told. There is also mass approval to consider. For centuries the Catholic Church has demanded belief and have told people what to believe. It is only in a democracy that you are even able to ask that question.

Answer 7

Because they need them to feel better and I pray to the queen of heaven often myself. Why do people care what other people believe in when its not hurting them?

Answer 8

don't any of you have church leaders, and if you do do you believe in them. Mary was the mother of Jesus-that's it.

Answer 9

People need an answer to all there questions. I feel also that people are afraid of death.

Answer 10

Brainwash! Some people just feel they have to do things to be saved!
