Why the Church as the communion of saints is impor
It is the teachings of the creeds and the Catechism which are the basis of Christian faith and which all Catholics should believe.
it gives catholics direct contact with the official saints allowing catholics to have help, comfort and support from great Christains in the past.
It allows prayers to be offered for the dead so that those in purgatory can ascend to heaven and those in heaven can pray for those on Earth.
It is important because it means that all Christians are equally important, all are joined and can pray for one another. No one Christian is more important thatn the another.
there is a communio;n among holy people because everyone shares the gifts of the holy spirit. This meas the gift can be used for everyones benefit. Just as the saints helped on earth so they do in heaven.
