Definition of Roman Catholicism Homework

In Class on Sunday, 9 October 2011, we did the activities in the Visions class work pages that had to do with being a Catholic Christian. We also read photocopies of pages 12-13 of "What the Church Believes and Teaches" (WCBT). We then watched the following video:


The following Bible verses were given on the board for further aspects of the Catholic Church (Click on them for the verses):
(a) John 6: 26-69 (Eucharist; Peter still believes)
(b) Acts 9: 1-9 (Saul (who will become St. Paul) persecutes the Body of Christ, the Church)
(c) Acts 15: 1-31 (Council of Jerusalem)
(d) Acts 19: 11-12 (Relics)
(e) 1 Timothy 3: 14-15 (Church as the pillar of Truth)
(f) John 16: 13 (Holy Spirit given to the Church for all Truth)
(g) Matthew 16: 13-19 (Peter is Rock of Faith and first Pope with forgiveness of sins)
(h) 1 Corinthians 11: 1-2 (Saints (here St. Paul) are to be emulated.)
(i) 1 Corinthians 11: 23-32 (Eucharist is body and blood of Jesus; must be eaten worthily)
(j) Collossians 1: 15-23 (The Mystical Body of Christ; Jesus is the head, the Church is the body)
(k) Luke 22: 19-20 (Eucharist is commanded in remembrance of Jesus)
(l) Ephesians 4: 1-6 (one faith, baptism, Lord)
(m) Ephesians 5: 29-33 (The Church is the Bride of Christ)

This is the homework that is due in two weeks from 9 October 2011 (23 October) for class:

In a letter to Michael Voris (person in the video above), please at least address the following points.

(1) (a) What is the definition of Roman Catholicism that was given in the video above? (This definition is specific to Roman Catholicism, not Christianity in general, per se.)
(b) Do you agree with the definition of Roman Catholicism by Michael Voris? Yes or no.
(c) Why do you agree or disagree? (This part (c) should be at least 3 sentences with about 5 words (or more) for each sentence.)
(i) Address the definition itself. What does the definition mean?
(ii) What are your thoughts about the definition?
(2) (a) Make up your own definition of Roman Catholicism that can be said/read in less than 26 seconds.
(b) Explain your definition.

The Visions work pages, the WCBT copied handout, and the Verses above should be referenced to do this homework.

Each person will read their own definition of Roman Catholicism on 23 October 2011 in class. Please email me your letters by the same day (before class).
