  • Enjoy it, even the hard parts. They go by fast and you will say one , looking back at a picture of your child as a baby when they are in High School, “I miss that baby.”

    Bathtime is a great time as well - lots of laughs, fun, and (I’m guessing) with a daughter something that will go away sooner rather than later (i.e., your not going to get your hair done like your wife would). But, I have two sons so who knows - balls, farts, and the like have continued well into teens to the chagrin of my wife. :)

    This is wrong. Catholics can pray “directly to God”. It’s actually what contrition is considered doing and part of confession. Catholics also believe you can petition Saints for intercession from God (so like, “Hey, you know God, can you put in a good word for me?”).

    That second part is what many Protestant denominations have/had an issue with.

    The core part here, however, relates to plenary indulgences and is part of what drove Martin’s reformation.

    (This is described - the indulgences part being what drove the wedge between Martin Luthor and the Pope - in the Wiki you linked.)
