Why do catholics claim there is only one God?

Question

From what I see there are so many Catholic gods. The virgin mary , our lady fatima, jesus, the holy ghost, the 4 choirs of angels, guardian angels. Oh i nearly forgot the 5,150 saints.

Answer 1

But, as far as the Bible is concerned, only one of them is the true God, while others are merely parts of that holy power (hmm... sounds very polytheistic to me).

Father, son, holy spirit... brahma, vishnu, shiva... ?

Answer 2

Saints and angels are NOT gods in Catholic theology.
Catholic dogma follows Judaism and Islam theologically
AND ALL of them follow the god of Abraham ,
which subscribes to 1 omnipotent , infinite deity.
Perhaps you are not clear on the concept of deity / god ?

Note: I am Buddhist and there are no gods . . . Why?
Because that is what we subscribe to, simple as that.

Answer 3

It's really no different for the protestants who believe that the listings of classes of angels in the bible is literally true.

After all, why should there be only one god. Yahweh obviously thought there were many gods when he wrote "you shall have no other gods before me." If Yahweh can acknowledge the actual existence of the gods of other religions, shouldn't we?

Answer 4

They believe only Jesus was the direct son of god. They also believe the pope Jesus-like and is next as fas as importance - the pope is just a half a step behind Jesus.

Answer 5

To Christians GOD is GOD... Angels, Saints, Etc. are just that angels and saints.

Answer 6

You need to seek knowledge.
You seem to be illiterate and ignorant.


Roman Catholicism is #1 in the major branch of Christianity



Christianity began in the 1st century AD as a Jewish sect, and shares many religious texts with Judaism, specifically the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament (see Judeo-Christian).

There is a diversity of doctrines and practices among groups calling themselves Christian. These groups are sometimes classified under denominations, though for theological reasons many groups reject this classification system.Christianity may be broadly represented as being divided into three main groupings:

1) Roman Catholicism: The Roman Catholic Church, the largest single body, includes the Latin Rite and totals more than 1 billion baptized members.

2) Eastern Christianity: Eastern Orthodox Churches, Oriental Orthodox Churches, the 100,000 member Assyrian Church of the East, and others with a combined membership of more than 300 million baptized members.

3) Protestantism: Groups such as Anglicans, Lutherans, Reformed/Presbyterians, Congregational/United Church of Christ, Evangelical, Charismatic, Baptists, Methodists, Nazarenes, Anabaptists, Seventh-day Adventists and Pentecostals. The oldest of these separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century Protestant Reformation, followed in many cases by further divisions.

Estimates of the total number of
Protestants are very uncertain, partly because of the difficulty in determining which denominations should be placed in this category, but it seems to be unquestionable that Protestantism is the second major branch of Christianity (after Roman Catholicism) in number of followers.


Wikipedia:
Some Protestants identify themselves simply as Christian, or born-again Christian; they typically distance themselves from the confessionalism of other Protestant communities[11] by calling themselves "non-denominational" — often founded by individual pastors, they have little affiliation with historic denominations. Others, particularly some Anglicans, eschew the term Protestant and thus insist on being thought of as Catholic, adopting the name "Anglo-Catholic."[12] Finally, various small communities, such as the Old Catholic and Independent Catholic Churches, are similar in name to the Roman Catholic Church, but are not in communion with the See of Rome. The Roman Catholic Church was simply called the "Catholic Church" until other groups started considering themselves "Catholic." The term "Roman Catholic" was made to distinguish the Roman Catholics from other groups.[13][14]

Restorationists, are historically connected to the Protestant Reformation,[15] do not usually describe themselves as "reforming" a Christian Church continuously existing from the time of Jesus, but as restoring the Church that they believe was lost at some point. Restorationists include Churches of Christ with 2.6 million members, Disciples of Christ with 800,000 members,[16] The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with 12 million members,[3] and Jehovah’s Witnesses with 6.6 million members.[17] Though Restorationists have some basic similarities, their doctrine and practices vary significantly.

Answer 7

Read the Bible, the answers are there. Saints, angles and the virgin are not gods.

Answer 8

The operative phrase is "from what I see." People generally see what they choose to see, in order to support their particular points of view.

Answer 9

Because that's what they believe. Apparently you don't "see" much.

Answer 10

That is what we do.
