101 Inspiring Catholic Quotes About Faith, God And Love

In the first 200 years of Christian history, Christianity was banned by the Roman Empire.

Christians were persecuted in Rome and the practice of the Christian faith was banned. Christianity is a faith tradition.

The largest holy group is considered to be the Roman Catholic Group. The Catholic church is the oldest institution in the western world. Catholics believe that the Pope is the successor of Saint Peter whom Christ appointed as the first head of his church.

Catholicism is different from other Christian churches in both organization and teachings. For example, the catholic church ordains only celibate men into priesthood while others allow married men to become priests and pastors.

The catholic faith is known for its sayings and prayers to Virgin Mary, attending regular mass in the church. The congregation's seminaries and convents have grown apace since then even in the whole world.
