Lake City. I attended their Mass, and it was a thought provoking experience. I
was able to learn about their values through their priest and through their
communion. They value the Savior Jesus Christ, prayer, scriptures, baptism
and peace. The Catholic Religion was derived from the teachings of the
prophet Paul, and they pull many of their practices from the Bible. I will

baptized to be worthy to enter into Gods kingdom, and they take the
blood and body of Jesus Christ. They believe that when you partake of the
communion it literally becomes the blood and body of Jesus Christ. They
repeat the Lords prayer as written in the Bible as a congregation. They also
believe that Christs mother Mary, has always been a virgin and that she
conceived Christ being sinless. The Catholic Church values being free from
sin, remembering Christ, and being filled with love, hope and faith.
Religious
The Mass has been dated back to Christs time during the Last Supper.
In this event, Christ blessed unleavened bread and broke it, and blessed wine
and passed this to all his disciples and told them to take it in remembrance of
him. He did this in remembrance of his body and blood. Catholics now are
asked to take the communion at least every year at Easter. Mass is the time
which the priest will recite scripture, the Lords Prayer, constitute the

are the most deeply felt beliefs shared by a cultural group; they reflect a
between humans? The one question I find most applicable to religion is,
spiritually as an individual.
Analysis
Strodtbeck, I have found that Catholicism has really placed a great emphasis
Christian would answer this by saying, To become like Jesus Christ. From
my personal experience at the Catholic Mass, I have found that they do value
what ought to be and not what is. When the priest gave his sermon, he
weight do something. If you want to get an answer from God, act in faith. He
really wanted the people there to feel moved to act and grow spiritually. At
one point he told everyone to, Make peace with each other. Then everyone
turned to the person sitting next to them and shook each others hands. This
may be showing an act of peace, but is that reality on any other given day
outside the Cathedral? No, rarely do we ever make peace with our neighbor
by saying hello, sharing a smile, shaking their hand, or giving a hug. We often
say curse words under our breath about them, frown upon their way of living,
and judge them for their imperfectness. Although there may be a preferred
personality, no one is living it, and thats why I relate Kuckhohn and
Catholicism.
Reflection
Before attending the Mass, I felt uncomfortable. I felt like I was betraying
was also worried that someone in the Catholic Church might ask me
questions of why I was there and try and persuade me to be baptized. But
when I got to the Cathedral, I felt better when I saw that people were spread
out between the pews and I could be left alone in the back of the room. I liked
exercise clothes, or a man in his jeans, or the homeless man with a torn shirt.
Each person came simply to worship God, and learn of Christ. It made me feel
more comfortable.
I learned that the Catholic Church believes in a lot of the same things I
believe in; Jesus Christ, the Bible, baptism, prayer, etc. I also learned some of
communion. It is also respectful to stand when the priest stands. I learned that
anyone is invited to come and listen no matter what they look like. I was
surprised to find that everyone drinks out of the same goblet for communion!
In conclusion, I got to learn more about one of the most widespread religions
on the earth!
in the fact that I was able to see what the Catholic Church values and how
they help others learn about their values. I was able to see how value
religion as well I realized that we are valuing what ought to be and not always
that I cherish now, and values that I hope for. I can look to my career and
schooling, and find values that I want and ought to follow. I have a new
