Dante has been a “best-selling” author for several hundred years.  “The Divine Comedy” describes how Jesus separates sheep from goats.  We are actors in “The Divine Comedy”.

Jesus repeated His Great Separating Command twelve times (once for each Tribe?) in the verses leading to John 6:66.   “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.” 

The first goats left Him.  They said His teaching was “too hard”.

His obedient sheep were at The Last Supper.  He changed bread and wine into His Body and Blood, repeating twice more:  “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”

Jesus ordained His First Catholic Bishops with the power to preside over The Miracle of Transubstantiation, ordering them to:  “Do this in remeberance of Me.” 

His first Catholic Bishops founded Catholic Churches between India and Spain.  We know they were Catholic Churches because they sent Catholic Representatives to Catholic Councils called by Catholic Successors to Peter for hundreds of years.

His obedient sheep respect Jesus enough to be in The Only Church He Founded by saying so clearly:  “Verily, verily 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.”

We think of Dante’s “The Divine Comedy” when we hear people proudly proclaim:  “I believe in Jesus and The Bible!”  while choosing to ignore His very clear instructions “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”

They also ignore The Only Church He Founded by saying “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.”

Was Dante right?  Is each individual choosing where they spend eternity the “The Divine Comedy”?

What do Jesus and The Bible say about the punishment for such people? Matthew 16: 6-7, Mark 9:42, and Luke 17:1-2 all quote Jesus:  “Those who are obstacles keeping people from Me are better off with a millstone around their neck and being thrown into the sea.”

We are actors in “The Divine Comedy”.  For many, “The Divine Comedy” is neither fun nor funny.
