Okay definitions...

scrutiny: A close, careful examination or study. The term is applied to the manner of electing a Pope by scret ballot in which every human precaution is taken to avoid error or dishonesty. The formal examination of candidates for sacred orders is also called a scrutiny.

anointed: The meaning of "Christ," derived from the Greek Christos, corresponding to the Hebrew Mashijah (Messiah).

sacrifice: The highest form of adoration, in which a duly authorized priest in the name of the people offers a victim in acknowledgment of God's supreme dominion and of total human dependence on God. The victim is at least partially removed from human use and to that extent more or less destroyed as an act of submission to the divine majesty. Thus a sacrifice is not only an oblation. Where an oblation offers something to God, a sacrifice immolates or gives up what is offered. In sacrifice the gift offered is something precious completely surrendered by the one making the sacrifice as a token of humble recognition of God's sovereignty.


BYE BYE!

In some practices they sacrifice animals to there god which is totaly unessisary. Gods will not get anything out of a dead animal, and to show you love a God, there are other options then killing something.

I agree. I'm almost positive that Catholics don't sacrifice animals. I think that most of our sacrifices are more about moral and personal things. Like sacrificing something you love by giving up something during Lent.

or doing something extra for lent too! like saying prayers more, etc.

I'm pretty sure that NO religions do actual animal sacrifices. I mean, I think that was a thing of the past, no?

I think there are still many places in the world, not the US, but other places that still sacrifice animals. It's sad but true!

I know the catholic religion does not sacrifice animals, but yes, some religons and tribes in some parts of the world still do. It is so sad.

Yeah that is sorta depressing, but it certainly isn't the worst thing happening in the world.

That is true. Doesn't even compare to starving people or the war.
