How does Catholicism view life problems?

Abstract: The full name of Catholicism is "Roman Catholic Church", also known as "Roman Catholic Church". Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity and Protestantism are the three major sects of Christianity. Catholicism has a wide and profound influence on human society, ideology, culture, politics and economy. How does Catholicism view life problems? Let's have a look. First, the influence of Catholicism on people.

1, Catholicism lets us know the ultimate meaning of life. Since ancient times, people have often asked where they live. Where did you die? What is the value of life? What's the point? There are different opinions on these issues. Catholicism gave us the correct answer, and let us get the true meaning of life. We no longer felt the emptiness and hesitation of life, but experienced the fullness and richness of life.

2. Catholicism brings us the blessing of God, which makes us gain inner peace and joy. By reading the Bible, taking communion, meeting and praying, we can gain new life, become God's children, live in God's love and experience peace and joy from heaven.

Catholicism makes our life sacred, and we can face all kinds of situations in life with perseverance. God will give wisdom, courage and strength to those who sincerely believe in God, so that they can overcome all kinds of temptations, live a holy and noble life, no longer be enslaved by sin, but can firmly face the success or failure, setbacks and pain in life. Being able to transcend physical illness and death, even under extremely difficult circumstances, with the help of God, you can be full of hope and strong mind for the future and make everything better, better, better and more real.

4. Nine times out of ten, life is always more painful and less joyful. In the church, there are many brothers and sisters who love each other and many close friends who will sincerely help us when we are in trouble. When we are helpless, we can seek guidance, comfort and encouragement from priests, nuns, enthusiastic and wise brothers, sisters and bishops. Brothers and sisters will visit, pray and serve in times of difficulty. When life is extremely difficult, brothers and sisters will try their best to help and share their troubles. Used for weddings, funerals, etc. With the help of the church, we can be grand and economical.

Second, the Catholic view of life issues

Catholic outlook on life and values

1, Catholicism believes that people have history. Genesis begins with a sentence, "In the beginning, God created heaven and earth". This sentence seems to stimulate some people. They can't stand the fact. They think it is a great shame to be created by God. They feel that they should be proud if they can prove that they don't know what to do and what not to do.

2. Catholicism believes that human beings have a home. The ultimate problem of mankind is a dilemma that cannot be overcome. When Confucius was asked this question, he honestly replied, "If you don't know life, how can you know death?" . But some problems cannot be solved until a certain problem is solved because of their own importance. According to Confucius' logic, it seems that only by fully understanding the problem of survival can we begin to talk about death. This kind of order can make us dare to pursue the meaning of death after 50 thousand years, because we can never be a person who has fully understood survival.

Catholicism believes that the value of life is better than the value of life. Life is not worthless, and matter should not be despised. On the contrary, in God's creation plan, he first created matter, and he arranged all kinds of rich matter before creating man.

Catholicism believes that love is the highest morality. Psalm 63 says, "Your kindness is better than life". Yes, love is God's attribute and the original goodness at the beginning of life. Love is said in chapter 1 Corinthians 13: there are three kinds of things today: faith, hope and love, among which love is the greatest and can be said to be the highest in Christian morality.

5. Catholicism has very unique standards for the fate of life. It is true that life is short, but disaster and pain make life extremely long. As the saying goes, "poor fortune-telling, rich burn incense." In fact, there are many people in ancient and modern China and abroad who are eager to know their destiny. We are eager to know why one of the two pupils sitting next to us later became a doctor, while the other could only pick up garbage.

How does Catholicism view life and death?

1. Death is the end of our secular life and the beginning of eternal life.

Life in this world is calculated by time, but there is no time limit for eternal life. The Catholic doctrine points out that "death is the end of a person's journey in the world, and it is also the expiration of a lifetime of grace and love. This grace and love is given by God, so that people can know their secular life and decide their own ending according to God's plan. When our only earthly journey is over, we will never return to any other earthly life. People only die once, so there is no such thing as reincarnation after death. "

2. Death is also the result of sin.

After God created man first, he put man in a primitive state of virtue and righteousness. As long as he keeps this close friendship with God, he will not suffer death. Unfortunately, the original grandparents disobeyed God's command and ate the fruit of the tree of good and evil. They lost their original virtue and righteousness, and their descendants, the whole mankind, fell into sin and were bound by ignorance, pain and death.

3. Death is a blessing

Death entered the world and affected the whole mankind, but God did not abandon mankind, but called him and declared his salvation to him. This is the "original gospel" in Genesis. This gospel has been fully realized in Jesus Christ, who was given by God. Through his own death and resurrection, Jesus Christ overcame death and brought salvation to mankind. As the Catholic doctrine says, the curse of death is a blessing because Jesus obeyed to death. Because of Christ, the death of Christians has a positive meaning.

4. Death is a change of life.

From the perspective of theological anthropology, man is in the range of five relationships: material, life, spirit, man and god. Death is the transformation between man and these five relationships, but god is the center of these relationships. Through death, man has a decisive new relationship with God. In other words, in death, man and God have an eternal relationship, and God is his center. At the same time, death has also refreshed four kinds of relationships between people and others. The apostle Paul said that the death of Christ eliminated the death of mankind, and since then, mankind has established a new relationship with _ and the world.

5. Death is the decisive point of salvation.

Catholicism clearly points out to us, "From the moment of death, everyone reports his life to the private trial of Christ in his immortal soul and accepts eternal retribution: either go through a period of purification, or directly enter the glory of heaven, or directly condemn himself and fall into eternal punishment." Thus, death is the decisive point of redemption. Once a person enters death, it determines his eternal redemption or death. As the Catholic doctrine says, "death is the end of a person's journey in the world, as well as the end of grace and love."

6. Death is the call of God.

Catholicism believes that death is when God calls people to him. Because of this, Christians can feel the desire for death of St. Paul's disciples: "I long for freedom and I long for being with Christ." The godfather also said, "The desire to live has been crucified? Running water gushed from me and murmured to me,' Come! "Go to father!" I am eager to see God. In order to see him, I must die first. I don't die, I enter life. "

Catholic view of marriage and family

Catholic restrictions on marriage are very simple and clear. Catholicism regards marriage as a sacred thing. Marriage is single and inseparable. Catholics can only get married once, which is open and eternal. If you believe in God, you believe in your commitment to marriage. If you betray your marriage, you betray your faith.

The concept of marriage has three principles:

1, singularity, that is, monogamy. Pay attention to the combination of soul and dedication of love.

2, permanent, inseparable. Because marriage needs mutual love, tolerance and integration, it is a school for personal growth.

3. Be open to life and have children.

Catholic views on homosexuality

Catholicism believes that same-sex marriage not only violates the creator's design order about sex, but also denies its rich symbolic significance, that is, sex specifically points out and realizes the fact of self-delivery and acceptance of each other's marriage-the fact that two people are one. According to Pope John Paul II, same-sex unions destroyed the marital significance of the flesh in the creation of the master plan. In this sense, Catholicism points out that same-sex marriage violates the lofty value of the body as a symbol of sacrament, so it is unacceptable.
