Non-Catholics, what do you think is the weirdest Catholic teaching?

Eucharist is in substance the body of Christ*

Mary is the mother of God

Mary was conceived without original sin

Praying to the Saints is cool and stuff

Valid sacraments always transfer grace to the person receiving them**

Human beings were not destined to sin

The Catholic Church is the one true church established by Christ

Anything about the Pope

On the last day, our bodies will be raised again and brought into glory

There are seven(7) sacraments.***

Whatever tf is going on with the different rites

*The Eucharist is the body of Christ under the appearances of bread and wine.

**God is bound to these sacraments, meaning he always gives grace through them when they are done, but he is not bound by these sacraments, meaning that God can do literally whatever he wants and can of course go around them and provide grace in other ways.

***7 sacraments, listed: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Confession, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony.

Feel free to add nuance in the tags or talk about why you find the teachings strange! Let me know if there's anything utterly baffling that I didn't include!!!

Also please remember to be respectful!!! Not everyone knows theology like you might!!!
