Catholic Mass

Catholics pride themselves on their mass. Any given sunday, at any catholic church, you can go and hear the same gospel and readings. The mass is based greatly on ritual nad tradition. There is always the same structure but they change out the readings every week. At the end of mass, there is the sacrament of communion every week. Catholics believe that the bread that they eat and the wine they drink is the body and blood of christ. They do this because at what is known as the last supper, Jesus gave bread and whine to his deciples and told them that it was his body and blood.

I think thats one thing that makes Catholicism unique and stand out from other religions. Its uniformity is something to be admired in my oppinion
