Some are inclined toward The Church.
Others choose to dwell in Babylon and its many suburbs. It’s the way things are.
People change. Those in The Church may be tempted. They may be corrupted by sin and fall out of grace.
On the other hand, those in Babylon are sometimes tempted by truth and love to leave whatever is corrupting their programs.
Those blessed with Catholic Baptism, Confession, and Confirmation, are only a Confession away from forgiveness and a return to grace. It’s sort of unfair, really, that it’s so much easier for some to get back in His good graces. It’s a favor provided the children of the faithful.
It’s sometimes harder, but doesn’t have to be, for those who lack the certainty that The Only Church Jesus Founded provides its believers. Schisms, invented either by ego-maniacs or greedy assistant pastors anxious to make a name for themselves, and some money, just don’t have the credibility provided by Jesus saying to one man in Mt. 16: 18-20, “Thou art Peter and on this rock, I build My Church . . . .”
Since Babylon is death and The Catholic Church is life, it is vain foolishness to ignore what Jesus said in John, 6:53-54. “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
That passage is enough to move those who will escape Babylon into The Only Church Jesus Founded. There, His saving Body and Blood may be received in Catholic Communion. No one talks about it much, but The Catholic Church is the only place His Body and Blood may be received, provided by the Miracle of Transubstantiation.
Now, this is tricky. Few will say, “If you don’t receive Catholic Communion, you do not have Jesus’ assurance of life. If you do strive to worthily receive Catholic Communion, you do have His assurance of life.
Those who can’t figure it out can’t figure it out.
