I was surprised of all of the Catholic Symbolism in LOTR and how the ring is a symbolism of sin

# data[].attributes.body
I was very surprised with the amount of connections with the catholic church in LOTR . It was a bit unexpected that Gollum was used in the films as a symbol of grace, as he does not come off in that way. I was also interested in how every character represented a different part of Christ through their actions and demeaner in the film.

# data[].attributes.body
I was impressed with how many connections LOTR has with Catholicism. Some were general but there were specific examples as well like dates. LOTR has a main focus like our faith does that we can not save ourselves and we need grace or miracle. I also found it interesting how the characters Gandoff,Frodo, and Aragon all represented parts of Christ.

I was very surprised at all of the Catholic symbolism in LOTR but I thought it was very interesting how he said that the ring represents sin. Gollum is blinded by the ring and we are blinded by our sin.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it really interesting that the Lord of the Rings actually had so many connections to Catholicism. I understood the connection to Catholicism with Frodo and Gandalf, but I was surprised to see that Gollum was used as a symbol of grace, considering the mostly negative complexity of his character.

# data[].attributes.body
The fact that Lotor and something as simple as evil as golem can represent the divine gift of god is interesting. Thinking about it  seeing how materialistic human are golem seems fitting to have this ending grace and become the gift to the one. An imperfect flawed thing that allows us to be sanctified through its rawness and imperfections. Seeing how well Tolkien wove his story with Catholic allusions. It shows how easy that is to do in our own lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I found that the connections of Catholicism and LOTR was very interesting. I would never have thought there was so many connections between the two, but looking back with the information the video's showed us, they make a lot of sense. I think the understanding that Gollum was used as an instrument of God in the end is skeptical, but I understand how they could have made that connection.

# data[].attributes.body
It is interesting to see all the connections lord of the rings has to the catholic faith. I thought the most interesting relation was wizard representing Christ. The wizard even came back from the dead just as Christ did

# data[].attributes.body
I actually really agree with the connections he drew. Frodo's, Aragohn's, and Gandalf's all made a lot of sense. I especially like how he connected Golem to grace; it's a connection that I never would have drawn myself, but really puts the incident in a different light. It shows how God can act in the most unexpected ways.

# data[].attributes.body
The connection with Gollum and the symbol of grace was very surprising to me even though Gollum is such such a despicable character

# data[].attributes.body
The video that we watched was very good at showing how the series is a lot like the story of Christ with the ring being original sin. It is very interesting that the dates line up the same.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it is really cool how there are so many different connections to the lord o the rings and the catholic, I believe that we are called to live out our faith as God told us.

# data[].attributes.body
Out of all the videos we have seen so far relating LOTR to Catholicism, I thought that the last one did the best job of explaining and connecting the two. He pointed out relations that I would have never seen like Gollum being a symbol of grace. On the other hand, comparing the three main characters to the priest, prophet, and king roles made a lot of sense.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's really interesting that there are so many Catholic themes in LOTR, especially how the characters correlate with the three Divine Offices of Jesus. I think we are so much like Gollum in the sense that sin is made so attractive and when persue it, it destroys us and causes us harm but when we allow God in our lives, the sin becomes a canvas for God's grace.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the connection of the three characters to the priestly, prophetic, and kingly roles made a lot of sense. I never expected Gollum to be a symbol of grace, but after the video explained it, it made sense. The ring represented original sin, and Gollum was ultimately the one to destroy it. One thing I really found interesting was that the dates that Frodo began and ended his adventure are the same dates Jesus began his life and lost his life.

# data[].attributes.body
there are many connections bewteen LOTR and christ ecspeilly in the second video. I think the best connection is between gandolf and christ because its the most relatable

# data[].attributes.body
I am amazed by all of the connections between the Catholic faith and the LOTR. I think the instrument for grace is tragic t but such an important aspect to showing the extra grace we need to carry out tasks. It shows us that we cannot live life alone and need grace to pull us through challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
The ring in LOTR represents sin, and Gollum pays so much attention to this ring. Just as we are always tempted to sin. The characters never get rid of Gollum when they had the opportunity. This symbolizes we are to love our enemies.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked how each of all three characters had an element to Catholicism implemented with them. The fact that Gollum was presented as a prophet was very nice and pleasing. I was genuinely surprised by that. The fact that the others had kingly, priestly, and prophetic traits that come with them.

# data[].attributes.body
I was very surprised that Gollum was used as a symbol of grace or a grace barrier. I was not surprised about the other characters have priestly, prophet, and kingly traits. But with Gollum being a grace barrier was unexpected because I personally never liked him throughout the movies.

# data[].attributes.body
Gollum is obsessed with the ring (sin). Like us, Gollum is blinded by the ring. The ring drives him away from his younger and purer self. Gollum serves as an example to Frodo. Frodo does not want to be like Gollum, so he must push aside the power of the ring. In this scenario Frodo represents the people, while Gollum represents the person we do not want to become.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the connection of gollum to being used for grace is something I would've never thought of, but now that I hear it it makes sense. God's will be done, even when people try to get in the way, he will use that and turn it into good. I think that is a really good connection to God and catholicism
