they are some people whom nobody can ever surpass in goodness holiness etc.
in my ex-religion they were:
1-all prophets(we believed they were 124000 ones!)
2-their parents,grandparents,wives,children,nieces,nephews,
brothers,sisters,aunts,auncles and in laws so long as they were not pagans or didn't cause trouble for those prophets.
3-their first followers,friends,and vicars and representitives.
4-the supposedly "innocent" 12 imams.
5--their parents,grandparents,wives,children,nieces,nephews,
brothers,sisters,aunts,auncles,in laws solong as they were not pagans or didn't cause trouble for those imams.
6-their first followers,friends,and vicars and representitives.
and we believed that even if their actions were like our action they had greater merits,for example:I give 10$ alms and that "chosen one" gives 10$ too,but we are not equal in merits.the bitter side of this beliefe:suppose a prophet is not chaste,but an ordinary man is,that prophet is still greater,his body is holier and God loves him morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.
in catholism Jesus,Mary,Saint Joseph,12apostles and St.John the baptist are those whom none can surpass is there anyother?
do catholics have such beliefes as those I wrote in the red color?
