That's the main difference between Catholicism and Protestantism. In Catholicism you need priesthood to mediate between you and your God. In Protestantism you have a direct link to God, hence the blessings you receive come directly from God. The problem with applying Catholic model to this situation is that this God is directly present, hence no mediation of catholic level required. You don't need a Pope if you have a life God walking in your midst. So the expectation will be of blessing coming directly from God. It's like Jesus asking his apostles to create miracles, instead of him, because he hasn't ascended yet
Heh speaking about religion...I find it hard to believe that how can the millions on the planet believe in something like "God". There is no such thing as "God". Everything what is related to religion is pointless if you ask me. My whole family is catholic, but I cannot believe in anything what is not existing. This is my personal opinion of course, and my family cannot accept my opinion in this topic. I think that they are not rational enough.

PS. Sorry for going OT, but I had to write down my thoughts about this, since it was mentioned.
