My name is Victor. I live in Los Angeles. I am a Roman Catholic Christian. Roman Catholics live all over the world in many countries and cultures. We are one religion because we share one faith. We all believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Jesus Christ is at the center of our faith. As Catholics, we believe that Jesus is the Son of God. We see him as a teacher, as a guide, and as our model. We believe that his life, teachings, and miracles (MEER-ah-kulz) are examples for us to follow. My mom says that his life, death, and resurrection (rez-ur-EK-shun) changed the world. She says that because of Jesus we can know God in a special way.
