I'm just curious as to what other Catholics like best about being Catholic. I love being Catholic!

Knowing I am where God wants me to be. Where He wants all men to be. The absolute certainty of the fullness of Christian truth. The Holy Sacraments. The Body and Blood of Our Risen Savior! The Holy priesthood. In short, EVERYTHING Jesus Christ gave His Holy Church. Nothing shaved off, nothing rejected, nothing thrown away, nothing changed. Christianity as founded by GOD, not as redesigned by men!

Knowing all that secret stuff about God that they tell you when you turn seven, that our Protestant friends will never, ever get to know about.
The generous trust fund payments from the Vatican treasury that come in the mail every month, so we Catholics can have really big families, and never have to worry about money, or "work(s)".
The terrific jokes we Catholics tell each other, speaking in latin, right in front of everybody, that they'll never, ever, be able to figure out.
Spending lazy Saturday afternoons perusing the contents of the secret Vatican archives, and banging on all those pagan cymbals they keep down there.
Plotting strategy for world domination, with the Jesuits.
Making the sign of the cross in a room full of pagans.
And of course, ordering lots of red and purple fabric, making preparations for the rise of the beast, and the false prophet.
I love being Catholic too!

I love that I am a part of a big group of people that, for the most part, believe what I do. I think that taking communion is a HUGE part of my religion and that also tends to be unique to Catholics. I get to partake in the Last Supper every Sunday and take Jesus's body into my own. Is there any more awesome of a feeling??

ohh, jeez!! I don't want to be mean. . i just want to point out that communion is NOT unique to Catholocism. Protestants do have communion, its just understood differently. . thats all. I'm not Catholic, but what I like best about being Christian is that Jesus came and saved us from our sin. .and Im sure all yall Catholics can agree with me on that, and thats the most important!! God Bless everyone, their different beliefs, and Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, Jews . . .

I love the feeling I get when I enter a church that is hundreds of years old...like Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, or St. Peter's Basillica in the Vatican.
Those places FEEL holy. I don't get the same feeling when I visit protestant churches.

I'm Protestant, but I like the reverence in the Mass. I used to have the luxury of morning prayers with the priest -- all read out of a book, but they gave me strength & comfort for the day ahead.

Why do you love it? You don't even pray directly to God, you have to tell everything to an intercessant, a priest who plays God. Don't you know that you can speak directly to God whenever you wish? And all those saints? And Mary worship? Many ritualistic ceremonious chantings that have no meaning. And what about all those priests who have ruined others lives by molesting kids? And the pope? What is that about? He drives around in a pope mobil? He is not God or even close to it. Have you even read the bible? Know what you say! And that lady with the grilled cheese sandwich ~ she's catholic too!
