Catholics often ask people we meet: “Are you Catholic?” Most people enjoy answering! Catholics say “Yes.” Protestants have two answers!
1. They tell us they are in one of the 45,000 Protestant denominations.
OR:
“I am non-denominational.”
~
How do Catholics respond? Some of us say: “I used to be in this Protestant denomination ____________. And, I understand why many people are ‘non-denominational’. 45,000 Protestant denominations are very confusing! If I weren’t Catholic, I would probably be ‘non-denominational, too.”
~
Many times, we are asked, “Why did you become Catholic?”
We may answer: “I realized that Every Teaching of Jesus Christ is an Instruction! It seemed best to strive to obey Every Teaching given to us by He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies.”
~
Non-Catholics often respond: “Did Jesus say we should be ‘Catholic’?”
A reply? “Jesus did Speak One Church Into Being with His Holy Word! ‘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.’”
They often answer: “But, the word ‘Catholic’ is not in that Teaching!”
We may answer that with a question!
“Jesus wanted to separate obedient sheep from willful goats. Jesus hopes we will ask a simple question! ‘Is there any other Church on earth that has been led by Successors to Peter for 2,000 years?'”
~
There is only one answer to that: “No.”
We see that many avoid understanding that! The important thing! We have placed a “thought” in their mind!
That “thought” is this fact: “Only The Catholic Church has been led by Successors to Peter for 2,000 years.”
~
It may take time for that fact to erase the self-serving teachings of those who disobey The Church-Founding Decree of Jesus Christ.
Sometimes, we may help by introducing another fact!
“The Profiteers of Protestantism make a living by keeping donors from obeying The Church-Founding Decree of Jesus Christ.”
