Among the beliefs of the Catholics are the ability of the saints to intercede on the behalf of the believer, that there is afterlife purification (Purgatory) before entering the kingdom of God, and the Eucharist as the true body of Christ. Roman Catholic religion practices the use of the Holy Rosary Beads in prayer, veneration of the saints, and the use the crucifix. Roman Catholics also believe in the Holy Trinity (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit).
