Question 1:  “What do Catholics understand about God’s Judgment of our soul?”

Answer:  “Mark 7:13 tells us:   ‘Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and noticed some Disciples did not wash their hands or purify their cups, jugs,  kettles, and beds.’

~

Question 2:  “How did Jesus respond when they criticized Him and His Apostles?”

Answer:  “He told them what liars they are!  ‘For Moses said ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘whoever curses father or mother shall die.’  and you let rich people spend  their money on you and themselves rather than taking care of helpless parents.

~

Question 3: “Do Catholics think God will judge people on how much money they have and how they make it?”

Answer:  “Everyone begins life with a ‘net worth’.  Everyone dies with a ‘net worth’.  At Judgement, the lifetime increase in ‘net worth’ of those in ‘religious and public service’ is examined most closely.”

~

Question 4: “Should the best people in religious or public service demand that their financial gain be made public every year they are in office?”

Answer:  “Those who avoid having financial gain be a matter of public record may be living a lie that condemns many souls to hell.”

~

Question 5:  “How has The Catholic Church avoided so much corruption over the past 2,000 years?”

Answer: “Holy Vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience keep nearly all Catholic priests and religious from stealing money for personal enrichment.”

~

Question 6:  “Would the best governments want the assets of all public officials and families to be accurately accounted for and made public every year?”

Answer:  “Is there any better way to see if public servants are serving themselves or the public?”

Today’s Simple Rhyme:  “We need to pray for all of those / Who show us where our money goes.”
