why do catholics break so many commandments in the name of god?

Answer 1

Catholics believe that Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses.

The Apostles taught that new Gentile Christian believers did not have to convert to Judaism and be held to their Law.

So we do not keep kosher dietary laws. We even moved the Lord's day to Sunday from Saturday (the Sabbath).

However one of the four parts of the Catechism of the Catholic Church describes in depth how we keep the two Great Commandments of Jesus which include the spirit of the Ten Commandants but takes them much farther. Remember how Jesus said lust in your heart was adultery?

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

This is an idea that comes from the Jesuit order. It is OK to lie, cheat, steal, murder, or do whatevver you have to do to stop the spread of herresy (other beliefs).

The other thingd is that the catholic leadership has taught the people a perverted form of the ten commandments. In their Bible the Douey version, God's second commsndment forbiding idols and immages and praying or worshipping them has been removed. The rest have just slipped down a number, but because there were only 9 left, the 10th commandment forbidding covetousness was divided.

Also, the 4th commandment:
Exo 20:8-11
(8) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
(9) Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
(10) But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:
(11) For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

This commandment has been shortened to say "Remember the Sabbath day." This has been done because it was the cotholic church that changed the day of worship from saturday to sunday. This is their sign of authority over protestants who worship on sunday. (This is in their own literature.)

Another reason for this is that they teach that church doctrine is of greater importance than the word of God.

Answer 3

First of all that question can be applied to ALL CHRISTIANS, not just the Catholics. Second, your question assumes that the only Christians in sin are the Catholics. That's not very intellectual at all.

I don't know you but I DO KNOW you are not sinless. You have broken the Commandments as well. Everybody sins.

With that in mind, 37: "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;

You best concern yourself NOT with the sins of others, but with your own sins. Also, it might not be a bad idea to focus on Christian forgiveness, not condemnation.

Answer 4

This is a silly question. You just misunderstand what Catholics are doing and think they are breaking commandments. Just remember that the Catholic Church was the one instituted by Jesus--Matthew 16:"18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven."

Oh also Marty the part in the Douay-Rheims Bible does have the part about graven images--Exodus 20-"4 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me:

4 "A graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing"... All such images, or likenesses, are forbidden by this commandment, as are made to be adored and served; according to that which immediately follows, thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them. That is, all such as are designed for idols or image-gods, or are worshipped with divine honour. But otherwise images, pictures, or representations, even in the house of God, and in the very sanctuary so far from being forbidden, are expressly authorized by the word of God. See Ex. 25. 15, and etc.; chap. 38. 7; Num. 21. 8, 9; 1 Chron. or Paralip. 28. 18, 19; 2 Chron. or Paralip. 3. 10. "

Answer 5

I'm not catholic but I'd say because we are only human. Not everyone is perfect, but SOME PEOPLE try to be more like God. You have to look at the good, and bad. Some people try and some don't. And some people are way off of who God really is, because they don't have a real realtionship with him.

Answer 6

Which commandments are you talking about? I'm not aware of any commandments broken by the Catholic church. I don't think you understand the Catholic faith so understand the faith before you judge. Also, I recommend you "judge not lest ye be judged"....

Answer 7

Because confession gives you absolution. If you sin than go tell a preist and do your penitence God will forgive you. It is like saying you can do what ever you want as long as you feel sorry for it later. Somehow I don't think that's what God had in mind.

Answer 8

You are pagan. God forgives you. I am Catholic I go to church every weekend, I also attend a Catholic school. That make you feel better?

Answer 9

well....it is an interesting thought...their belief is confession...but the purpose of that is learn obedience....it is a schoolmaster...only...do believe that some take it literally...and do what they want and go confess...believing that is ok.....not true however....but don't all people break commandments...or rules of their god?....pagan..jewish...muslim...christian...all....disobey the rules...some in the name of their god...believing they need to spread the "word" to the unbelievers...while they are right in spreading their belief...it should be by example....and not by breaking laws of god....i have yet to see wings on anyone's back stating they are perfect...we have along way to go yet....

Answer 10

because they don't read the word of GOD! I WAS a catholic so I know how the system works...its like you do the same thing over and over...they don't worship, or SHOUT PRAISES unto GOD...like the word says to...its quiet, formal and dead in there! my mom would get mad at us if we even spoke in church! the bible says to worship, praise, sing, exaulte him(GOD)....thats why i'm 2 hours away from my family now...living my life for GOD...
