Roman Catholic Church Kingdom Of Heaven
1,550 wordsWater Baptism Roman Catholic Church practices seven sacraments, and Baptism is by far one of the most important of them. The reason for this is that Holy Baptism in the Catholic Church is the door of spiritual life; for it we are made members of Christ and incorporated with the Church.
