Catholic Christian friends?

its not really a requirement, some people, myself included only do it once.

I believe that it is a form of showing pain in our heart as it is our own fault that we have hurt God and those around us

Your preliminary premise is misguided: Catholics *are* Christians and have been from the commencing up. Protestantism did no longer come alongside until the 1500's whilst Martin Luther broke faraway from the Church and formed his very own heretical sect. If certainly all of us's Christianity is suspect, it fairly is that of Protestants, no longer Catholics. And as others have stated, the Edict of Milan did no longer set up Catholicism: it basically acknowledged the Church and made it criminal for human beings to be Catholic.there is no rfile that announces Constantine "everyday the Catholic Church" by way of fact there is no longer, and he did no longer. Sorry, yet you lose.

This expression of guilt for our sins comes originally from Jesus Christ Himself. When Jesus compares the prayers of the Pharisee to that of the tax collector, the tax collector "hits his breast several times saying, forgive me Lord for I am a terrible sinner".

All you have to do is ask for forgiveness and God hears your voice. If your are truly sorry for your sin He not only forgives you ,the sin is forgotten .It is like you never sinned ,cause it is like the first Time cause he has forgotten the last time ,as long as we don't practice sin.The three strikes on the chest is a man made thing ,that is practised. I believe they don't know ,so they do it.The only strike you could do wrong is to miss the free gift God has for you and that is eternal life only be cause Jesus paid the price for our sins. No three strikes on your chest is esential being honest with God and confessing your sin to Him is important.

You don't need a priest there to hear your sins God hearing works fine.

It would be over by the wedding items, which, at my Walmart, is in the "craft" section. I am not sure if I have seen it there, but then, I was not specifically looking for it. They DO have many items to make cakes, so I am assuming that they do carry it. Call them up and ask!

I DO know that is it sold at Michael's Craft Stores (or any other craft store that is near you.)

I am catholic and ask myself that question only the other day. Thanks for asking, now we both know.God bless you. You live and you learn.

mea cupla, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. (through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.)

Jesus Christ did not create the Roman Catholic chuch - humanity did.

Jesus calls people to be Christians in the belief that he is the one and only true living God.
