Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.
-Óscar Romero

If it's Catholic yes. If its protestant, no.

Yes, I certainly believe so. There's also the matter of Eucharistic miracles, if you believe in that sort of thing, which I do. Granted, I've never cared for the notion that the Eucharist could be received "unworthily" either. Seems to me like the pure, unfiltered, unadulterated body and blood of Christ would cleanse anything it touched along the way, especially if you believe in first class relics.

Not sure if that makes me a heretic or not, can't say I care honestly.
