The Catholic Religion

There are more than one billion Catholics in the world, and as the population increases it is so. Being a Catholic means to fully believe in the grace of God and that God. Having the grace of God's God means to keep it and to keep it holy. Because it is created by God and given to them. The religion itself is based on this, and people put great emphasis on it. Catholics believe that everyone is kind, but when a person commits a crime, it not only hurt one person but also hurt people and the church.

The Catholic Church represents a strange contradiction in its organizational structure. By definition, religion is decentralized as anyone (at least theoretically) can choose to join or withdraw at any time. But the Catholic Church, the main operating institution of the Catholic Church, is one of the most traditional, intensive and hierarchical organization in the world. It follows a top-down management structure, each pastor works under the supervision of a bishop and follows up its structure until the pope is reached (Bishop of Rome). What I find very interesting is the divergent concept of religion, which is a mere sequence of beliefs that transcend time and can define its principal governance so strictly. Since thousands of years of establishment, most people have linked church with Catholic by default. As the church is pleased throughout the history, we can even agree that the church will rebuild religion.

For me, I am a Roman Catholic. I was a baptized Catholic, I grew up in most Protestant churches and then returned to the Catholic church. Since then I have studied many other religions, Buddhism, Taoism, Stoichiism (religion), Zen (not true religion but sufficiently similar), Muslim, and Judaism. For me, I think that all religions in the world are branches of the same tree. I saw that the tree trunk is equal value of love, compassion, forgiveness, justice and human equality.

In the United States, the role of gender in religion is largely dependent on religion. For example, in Catholicism, the main character of the church is a pastor and he can only be a man. A woman's sole role in the Catholic Church is a nun. Clearly, the nuns have different levels, but this is the only place they can have. In the United States, there are many influential artists, writers and musician's hat with different gender and ethnicity. Among the famous American artists, there are Walt Disney, John Augustus Walker, Esther Ross and others. In American literature, the famous authors are Harper Lee, Mark Twain, Ray Bradbury. The famous American musicians are Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.
