  Original Sin is cleansed.

  earth. He is the head of the church based on
  Christs commission.

17

  to live a good Christian life.

  human being.  

19

  human life in union with God. It is a spiritual
  state of being where the saved will see God as
  God truly is.

20
What is meant by the Apostolic Succession?  

• The inheritance of authority from Jesus to the
  apostles which is passed down through generations
  of leaders to the present day. Thus the Bishops
  who rule the church today have inherited the
  right to leadership which Jesus conferred on the
  Apostles. This passed down through the laying on
  of hands at the Rite of ordination.

21
What is a Religious Order?

• A Religious Order is a name given to a
  community of men or women who live by a

24

25
Three mark questions

• Why is Confirmation important for Catholics?
  Confirmation is very important as it confirms to
  the church that the person has taken on board the
  promises made on his her behalf at Baptism. S/he
  is in effect saying that s/he now wants to be
  fully committed as a Catholic. The sacrament will
  effectively bring about Gods grace in that
  person and a gifting of the Holy Spirit. It is
  also an important way to witness to others. 

26
What is meant by an informed conscience?  

• It means that one has consulted various sources
  of authority, eg scripture, reason, Church
  teaching, and prayed before making a moral
  choice.  

27
Briefly explain what sin is.  

• The word sin literally means to miss the mark
  For a Catholic this means to fall short of the
  perfection of God. No one is perfect so all have
  sinned. Catholics believe that sin can be both
  Mortal and Venial.

28
What are the three vows taken by members of
Religious Orders?

• Poverty
• Chastity
• Obedience. 

29
Explain why the Catholic Church supports Natural
Family Planning.  

• The Catholic Church teaches that every sexual
  act should be open to procreation. So then
  Natural Family Planning does not hinder
  procreation to the extent that artificial methods
  do. The Church would suggest that whilst the
  couple should be open to procreation, responsible
  parenting is also encouraged. This would mean
  that the couple plan their family but using
  natural methods, which are more in line with
  Natural Law.

30
How Catholics can live the Mass in their daily
lives?  

• A Catholic can live the mass by fulfilling the
  commandments of Christ love the Lord with all
  their heart and all their mind and to love ones
  neighbour as oneself. Loving God could involve
  prayer and worship, loving ones neighbour could
  involve actively helping those in need through
  becoming involve in charity work etc. also see
  answer above

31
8 mark A01/2

• Explain what Catholics mean by (i) the sacrifice
  of the Mass, and (ii) the Real Presence 8
•  Think of these questions as two four mark
  questions.

32
Real Presence

• The bread and wine, when they re blessed by the
  priest, become the body and Blood of Jesus
  Christ. This is based on the words of Jesus at
  the Last Supper. This is my body. This is my
  blood . The Church call this change
  Transubstantiation.

33
Sacrifice

• Jesus sacrifice at Calvary is represented each
  time Mass is celebrated. Those who believe and
  participate in the Mass are able to receive the
  Gods grace. By worshiping together the
  congregation too make a sacrificial offering by
  giving up their time and gifts.

34
Evaluation 4 marks

• Catholic funerals must be times of hope and
  joy  
• When a person has experienced the death of a
  loved one there naturally has to be a time for
  grieving and mourning the loss of a dear one.
  This is a time of sadness.

35

• The circumstances surrounding the death may be
  tragic. How could anyone celebrate joyfully the
  death of a child who has died in excruciating
  pain at the hands of an abductor for instance? It
  could be argued that funerals provide the
  opportunity for this grieving to take place and
  that it would be quite inappropriate for the
  focus to be one of joy and celebrating

36

• However, if the only focus of the funeral was on
  sadness and grief, what hope would there be for
  those who are left in their sorrows. There must
  be a way in the funeral to give thanks for the
  life of the deceased person, no matter how short,
  and to remind those present of the promises of
  Scripture. This is a means of bringing to those
  present the hope of eternal life in the presence
  of and almighty God who loves his children. It is
  a time to be comforted by the conquering of death
  by Christ the redeemer.

37

• So there must be a respectful balance ,allowing a
  time for grief but focusing on the belief that
  death is not the end and looking forward to the
  joy of eternal life.

38
8 marks

• Natural Family Planning is the best type of
  family planning

39

• Natural Family Planning is a method of birth
  control which is in line with the Churchs
  teaching on Natural Law. The teaching of the
  Church states that every sexual act should be
  open to procreation. Therefore, by not using
  artificial or barrier methods, this teaching
  would be observed by the couple. The Church also
  teaches that sex, as a sign of the sacrament of
  marriage, should take place within marriage. One
  could also argue that a more accepted attitude of
  artificial contraception has led to a more
  promiscuous attitude in todays society, where
  sex before marriage has become the norm rather
  than the exception. There seems to be an
  abundance of reasons against the use of
  artificial contraception.

40

• The couple should be willing to receive children
  from God as they understood this to be a part of
  the marriage contract. So one could argue that in
  order to be a good Catholic, the Natural method
  in the best form of contraception because it is
  in line with Church teaching. One could also
  argue from a medical viewpoint. The side effects
  from artificial methods such as the oral
  contraceptive pill can be serious. Some forms of
  contraception could lead to the threat of
  thrombosis or in some cases cervical cancer.

41

• There are of course other risks. One could also
  state that even in the light of modern scientific
  developments there is not enough known about
  artificial contraception. In many cases abortive
  methods are used without the person fully
  understanding the consequences of her actions.

42

• However, in considering the case of a married
  couple, who truly love each other and have
  considered responsible parenting, Natural Family
  Planning may not be the best method for them.
  Whilst it promotes the bond between husband and
  wife, it is still a method of contraception. If
  the couple have dutifully completed their family
  and will find that having more children will just
  put pressure on them financially and emotionally,
  are they not being more responsible by
  controlling their family as best as they see fit.

43

• N FP is not a highly successful method of
  control. It involves an intricate understanding
  of the way in which a womans body works and this
  is not always as predictable as it may seem. One
  also has to consider that using NFP limits when
  the couple can express their sexual love for each
  other. The Church has recognised the dual purpose
  of love making and surely it is unreasonable for
  a couple to wait for the infertile part of the
  womans cycle before expressing love.

44

• In my view, God made human beings to share in His
  creative purposes but this involves careful
  consideration of the consequences of ones
  actions. Whilst I would not promote artificial
  methods which could cause harm to oneself, or the
  foetus, there are methods which control
  conception and allow the union between husband
  and wife when they naturally choose to make love.
