The main religion of the Seychelles is Roman Catholic.
They believe:
• The Bible is the inspired, error-free, and revealed word of God.
• Baptism, the rite of becoming a Christian, is necessary for salvation —
whether the Baptism occurs by water, blood, or desire.• God’s Ten Commandments provide a moral compass — an ethical
standard to live by.
• The existence of the Holy Trinity — one God in three persons.
Catholics embrace the belief that God, the one Supreme Being, is
made up of three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the
Holy Spirit.
Catholics also believe that since Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the
Garden of Eden, all humans are born with original sin, which only
Baptism removes. A happier belief is in grace, a totally free, unmeritedgift from God. Grace is a sharing in the divine; the inspiration to do
