WHAT IS THE HISTORY BEHIND THE POPES RED SHOES AND WHY DID POPE FRANCIS CHOOSE NOT TO WEAR THEM

Image
It's important to note that most popes wore three types of shoes: red silk shoes for when they're inside the Vatican, episcopal sandals which they used in celebrating Mass (until 1969) according to the liturgical colours, and red leather shoes for outdoors. This write-up concerns the Pope's outdoor shoes.  The tradition of popes wearing red shoes can be traced back to ancient times. In the early centuries of the Church, bishops and other clergy members wore red shoes as a symbol of their rank and authority. Red was considered a colour of distinction and power. Over time, the red shoes became part of the papal regalia, distinguishing the pope from other clergy members. The shoes came to symbolise the pope's supreme authority and his role as the Vicar of Christ on Earth. They were also seen as a sign of the pope's connection to the blood of martyrs and Christ's sacrifice. The tradition of red papal shoes continued for centuries, with popes wearing elaborately desi...

WHY DID CATHOLIC PRIESTS BECOME CELIBATE? WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF CELIBACY IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?

Image
The rule of celibacy in the Roman Catholic Church has evolved over centuries and cannot be attributed to any single historical event or reason. Instead, it has been influenced by a combination of factors, including theological, cultural, and practical considerations. Here are some of the key historical reasons that contributed to the establishment and development of clerical celibacy in the Roman Catholic Church: 1. Early Christian Tradition: In the early centuries of Christianity, there was a diversity of practices regarding celibacy among clergy. Some early Christian communities encouraged celibacy as a way to devote oneself entirely to God, while others allowed married men to become priests. Over time, however, the idea of celibacy gained traction, influenced by the example of Jesus and the apostle Paul, who were both celibate (cf. Matt. 19:12; 1 Cor. 7: 25-34). 2. Asceticism and Monasticism: The rise of asceticism and monasticism in the early centuries of the Church further promote...

CAN A CATHOLIC RECEIVE THE THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE (CONFESSION) THROUGH A PHONE CALL? IF NO WHY?

Image
These days, the number of persons requesting the sacrament of confessions online is increasing. Perhaps this is due to the increase in the use of social media and other related networking Internet powered platforms, especially in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.  It is great that many more persons, especially young people, are becoming much more interested in seeking reconciliation with God, however, this sacred and spiritual encounter ought to be personal, between the Priest and the Penitent.  The moment an electronic medium comes between the penitent and the priest, who acts in the name and person of Jesus Christ, the sacrament is invalidated.  The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us that in the sacrament of reconciliation, Jesus personally addresses every sinner saying: “My son, your sins are forgiven.” He is the physician tending each one of the sick who need him to cure them. He raises them up and reintegrates them into fraternal communion. Personal co...

HAVE CHRISTIANS FAILED CHRIST OR IS THERE HOPE OF REDEMPTION?...........Watch Video.

Somehow it seems like Christians are not so interested in knowing Christ who is the redemption of the human race. The video above shows a collection of christians who either do not know who JESUS is, or can not quote even one verse of the Bible let alone knowing the mother of Jesus Christ or the grand parents. ..... That is quite disheartening to note in a world where riches and miracle is now the topmost desires of every living creature. Watch the video and share your thoughts in the comment section . Dear parents take the words of Proverbs seriously and TRAIN UP YOUR CHILDREN IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD GO THAT WHEN THEY GROW UP THEY WILL NEVER DEPART FROM IT ...
