Question 1: “Do four short verses in 1 John 2:18-21 tell us to ‘Be Catholic!’ on the last day of the year?”
Answser: “The Most Beloved Disciple explains to one group of people: ‘Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know, this is the last hour.’”

Question 2: “What is ‘the other group of people’?”
Answer: “The ‘other group’ includes all who are specifically identified in These Bible Words: ‘They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number.’”

Question 3: “Is The Most Beloved Disciple describing those who ‘went out from us’ and rejected The Only Church Spoken Into Being by The Church-Creating Word of Jesus to His First Catholic Pope: ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”

Question 6: “Why did St. John write to those ‘anointed’ with The Seven Catholic Sacraments and not to ‘the other group’?”
