Home›Consecrated Substances›TraditionBrowse ByTraditionThis page groups sacred objects by the theological framework that explains why they matter. Wikipedia quotes Dom Bernardo Cignitti's account that "the mortal remains of the deceased are associated in some manner with the holiness of their souls which await reunion with their bodies in the resurrection." Browsing by tradition lets a visitor see the specific belief that gives an object its meaning.FactsTraditionSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedSacred Objects & Ritual Items 1TraditionFilter Results7 entriesAdherents Today MaximumAll14,800,000 (1)30,000,000 (1)1,200,000,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll14,800,000 (1)25,000,000 (1)1,200,000,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllIndependent Survey (4)National Census (1)Scholarly or Demographic Estimate (3)Establishment StatusAllDeclared Not Established (1)Disestablished (1)Varies by Province (3)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCodified Obligation With Consequences (1)Customary Norm (3)Membership Figure As OfAll2001-03-01 (1)2010-01-01 (3)2011-01-27 (1)2011-03-01 (1)2011-12-19 (1)2012-12-18 (1)2013-01-01 (1)2020-01-01 (4)Origin Period End YearAll500 BCE (1)400 BCE (1)50 (1)632 (1)1708 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll1500 BCE (1)586 BCE (1)30 (1)610 (1)1499 (1)Position on MarriageAllMarriage is held to be monogamous, with remarriage after divorce sanctioned under specified conditions (1)Marriage may licitly be polygynous (1)Position on SexualityAllSame-sex orientation or practice is held to bar full membership or participation (2)The body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (2)Position on UsuryAllInterest is permitted but bound by ethical constraints against exploiting the poor (1)Interest of any kind on a loan is forbidden (1)Practice StatusAllLiving, and practised in varied local forms (3)Partly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (3)Standard Rate ExpectedAllTen percent.
