[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As humans, the greatest sacrifice one can make is to lay down one's life for another.  For Catholics, the crucifix is a constant reminder that Jesus made that sacrifice for all of mankind.

On a personal note, for me it's incredibly humbling (the sacrifice), comforting (the love) and joyful (the hope) all at once. [/quote]

Jesus is not the only human being who lay down his life for others -- and most of the rest of them are forgotten -- and they die forever - no resurrection or bodily ascension into heaven or sitting at the right hand of the father for them.  [b]If they were catholics who died with a mortal sin on their souls, they'd go straight to hell, no matter the altruism of their death.[/b][/quote]

Please cite the Catechism where that is described.[/quote]

I can't cite the where in the Catechism it states it but it is what old line Catholics believed - and also why it was necessary to go to weekly Mass - so if you died that week, you had a chance of going to Purgatory instead of Hell.  Of course, daily Mass is even better because then you know you have a better chance of dying in grace.  Of course all of this is man-made and not in the Bible which makes me scratch my head about Catholicism.[/quote]
