So in a new Catholic (baptized and confirmed the year pope Francis passed, God rest his sole) but I learned this “prayer” if you can call it that. It goes: “Tony Tony come around something’s lost and can’t be found.” Is it offensive to ask for St Anthony’s intercession in this way?
Just asking for prayers at this time. I am a Roman Catholic and after discernment and research I have come to conclusion I need to migrate this way. Please pray for my family and our way. Let me know if any books that may help our way.
I’m a convert to Catholicism. I just found out that part of my religious instruction through OCIA was flawed. I was taught that the pope is first among equals and not over any local bishop. This obviously isn’t the case with Vatican one and papal supremacy. Do y’all have any recommendations to help me accept or understand this better as seeing him as anything hit first among equals is difficult for my mind to grasp. Thank you all in advance
Edit:
Thank you everyone. You have all helped me understand more. Please continue to give your input and pray for me.
I am a baptized Catholic. Long story: years ago I was searching for Christ with my wife and I laid it out for her. I don’t believe Protestantism is true, I don’t Mormonism is true we only have two options orthodoxy or Catholicism. We went to a Catholic mass and she fell in love. I got baptized with her but I still view the Orthodox Church as valid and personally venerate Catholic and orthodox saints. Deep down I still get a call for orthodoxy. What are some resources I can read, and what are the big theological differences that keep the church’s apart?
