Catholic Traditions

1. Cross. The Cross is a Welcome symbol. We make the sign of the Cross to be friendly to everyone.

Colossians 3
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

2. Baby Baptism. Traditions are allowed in the Bible as long as it has a good purpose. In this case, to welcome the baby to the world, we have celebration with family, relatives, friends and guests. As parents, we want all nations be witness to our love for our baby. It says in the Bible. And also for the birth certificate. Of course the baby doesn't know anything about the doctrines. That is what the Confirmation is for. Why would you immerse a baby in a tub of water or swimming pool? The baby might get drowned. So sprinkling is okay.

3. Confirmation. I haven't had my Confirmation yet but from my understanding is to confirm that you understand the doctrines. To make official of becoming a Catholic which calls for another celebration. This is my opinion here, the Catholic Church should test the Candidate for Confirmation to see if the person knows the doctrines. And also investigate the kind of life the person lives to see if the person has Christian Living. So it is not supposed to be automatic. Until Confirmation, the candidate is in Limbo. As we said, the Bible is after the Spirit. There's no argument if there is sprinkling here again.

4. Wedding

5. Inter-Religious Dialogues.

6. Kneeling. Has royal origins. Like of citizens being knighted.

7. Funeral. Be calm folks.  Death is a natural progression for us so just trust in the will of God and do good works. My belief is that we should cremate the lifeless body and the ashes should be put in the earth. Ashes to ashes it says in the Bible.
