Like every number, every soul is either + or -. Catholic souls are +.

A short, simple way to see how being Catholic lets our soul get "the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven".

What 4 things help Catholics know our souls will go to Heaven?

1. Over 300 Prophecies tell us The Son of God would be, among other things, from The House of David and born of a Virgin in Bethlehem.

2. Jesus proved that He fulfilled The Prophecies by doing miracles that drew many people to Him.

3. Jesus Spoke One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Into Being when He said to His first 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.”

4.  His unchanging Catholic Church, unlike countless, ever-dividing, and disappearing groups of Protestants over whom “the gates of hell” have “prevailed”,  has been led by 268 Successors to Peter with no change in Teaching for 2,000 years.

Two Catholic Conclusions:

1. “I trust God and His Prophets enough to understand:  If I reject the only Church The Messiah promised ‘the gates of hell shall not prevail against it’, I cannot get ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ that He gave His life to leave for my immortal soul.”

2. May all of our dear neighbors be blessed to love God, His Prophets, His Prophesied Messiah, and His Church enough to be blessed by The Seven Catholic Sacraments, “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”.
