Question 2: “What did Jesus do next?”
Answer: “‘At the sight of the crowds, His heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.’”
~
Question 3: “How did Jesus solve that problem?”
Answer: “He defined the problem and understood that His ‘sheep’ need ‘shepherds’! ‘Then, He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the Master of the Harvest to send out laborers for His harvest.’”
~
Question 4: “How did Jesus create ‘laborers’ for ‘His harvest’?”

Question 7: “Are His Catholic priests still Ordained with The Power to do that?”
Answer: “Catholic priests have provided these ‘keys’ for 2,000 years! ‘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 8: “I am a Christian. So, I cannot argue with Jesus. Catholic priests are Ordained in Living Link with Christ’s First Catholic priests. Are they the only people on earth empowered to give His obedient ‘sheep’ all seven of His Sacraments, the ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’?”
Answers: “Yes.”
