Have some questions about what catholics believe in. I'm actually not coming for myself but rather to a few members in my family and I am trying to understand somethings.
Do catholics to this day believe in purgatory and where does this teaching come from?
Do Catholics still believe in veniel and mortal sins, and likewise where did this teaching come from?
Does the roman catholic church have higher authority than God? Sounds like a crazy question, the way my mom was brought up by the nuns I honestly believe she was brainwashed in believing the whole mentality that we (the roman catholic church) are the supreme authority.
Before anyone answers this is not up for debate, if it gets that way I will make sure a mod closes this thread, this is just a friendly chat, please keep it that way thanks
