3 0

The USA PATRIOT Act was enacted in 2001 as a reponse to the September 11 attacks and signed by President George Bush. The name of this act is actually an acronym which stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001"

It has generated controversy since its enactment as, due to the provisions included to increase national security. Its promoters argued it was a necessary measure to suceed on the war against terrorism. On the other hand, its detractors claimed that these provisions went against individual freedoms and basic civic rights.

For example, Tittle II confers increased powers to surveillance agencies and bodies dependent of the federal government. Some of these powers include authorizations for detentions of immigrants of indefinite duration, or to search homes or businesses without the consent or knowledge of its owner or tenant.

Baptism is the first step to salvation and the basis for all other sacraments; without it, the others cannot take place. It initiates you into the faith, making you an official member of the Catholic Church. The Sacrament of Baptism has five effects:

It removes the stain of Original and personal sin.

It absolves us of the corporeal and eternal punishment that resulted from that sin.

It infuses us with the life of God, called sanctifying grace. We become a part of Christ.

Through it, we become part of the Church representing the Mystical Body of Christ.

It allows you to participate in other Sacraments and to increase your grace.

Holy Orders allows a man to continue the work of Jesus Christ and His Apostles by passing His authority to those who are worthy. Those receiving this sacrament are able to administer sacraments to others, though a bishop is the only member who can perform the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Three levels of ordination exist: deacons, priests, and bishops.

Priests receive the ability to act in the Person of Christ and hold Mass.

Bishops are given the strength to lead a Congregation and die as Christ did.

Deacons receive the ability to preach.
