Catholic Fundamentalism begins with this fact: “God Spoke me into Being with His Words. His Words took form in the atoms and molecules that made my parents’ DNA. His angels put me together from those Words of God.”
We begin with that. Then, we conclude:
“I am a living echo of God’s Words.”
“I live on an echo of God’s Words. It goes around a larger echo of God’s Words.
We, and all that is, are “echoes of God’s Words.” That is all there is to reality.

God gave His Words to Prophets. God’s last Prophet was John The Baptist. He prophesied: Jesus Christ, “The Living Word of God”, was on earth!
He Who Fulfilled The Prophecies Spoke His Words about John The Baptist’s words to the “chief priests and elders”!
First, His warning! “Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.”
Second, He described their vanity! “When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did.”
Third, Jesus told them the mistake they made! “Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him.”
Jesus told us how to “Change our minds”. The “words” of John The Baptist could “change your minds”. The “chief priests and elders” did not want their minds to be changed! They loved the words they had made into self-serving thoughts too much for that!
~
The “chief priests and elders” cursed themselves! How? They refused to “change” their “minds and believe him.” They refused to obey Words of God spoken through His Last Prophet!
They watched while tax collectors and prostitutes stopped sinning . They “saw” while sinners obeyed the words of John The Baptist! The “chief priests and elders” were too vain to obey! “you did not later change your minds and believe him”!
They did not align the words in their minds with the words of John The Baptist! They cursed themselves by willfully disobeying words spoken by God’s Last Prophet!
~
Catholics are blessed! For 2,000 years, we have been able to “change our minds”. We have obeyed This Word of He Whom The Prophets predicted!
“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.”
