Question 1:  “Where does Isaiah say to ‘Be Catholic!’?”

Answer: “Isaiah 6:1-2,3-8 is in Today’s Catholic Reading.  Isaiah was taken to Heaven and purified with ‘an ember taken with tongs from the altar’.  He heard ‘The Lord of hosts’ ask:  ‘Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?’  God is telling Isaiah, and us, that He is more than One Person.  The Holy Spirit moved Isaiah to say: ‘Here I am,’ I said; “send me!’

Question 2:  “What other ways did God use Isaiah?”

Answer: “Isaiah prepared the way for the Coming of Jesus by leaving over a hundred written prophecies concerning details about Him, including His Virgin Birth in Is. 7:14.  More of his Prophecies are here:  http://www.aboutbibleprophecy.com/isaiah.htm)

Question 3:  “Did The Psalms tell us what Catholics would hear?”

Answer:  Psalm 138:1-8 is another prophecy connecting  Catholics to Isaiah:  ‘In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.'”

~

Question 4:  “What lets Catholics do that?”

Answer: “Catholics are blessed to obey The Church-Creating Word of Jesus to His First Catholic Pope!  ‘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 5:  “How do Catholic souls get those ‘keys’?”

Answer:  “Only Catholic priests are Ordained as Living Links to The First Catholic Bishops.  The Disciples were given The Power to Absolve by Jesus in John 20:23, ‘If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven.’

~

Question 6:  “Why aren’t all Christians in His Church and have their souls made fit for Heaven?”

Answer:  “Many believe that following some of Christ’s Teachings will get their soul into Heaven.”

Question 7:  “What if they are wrong?”

Answer:
