Christendom is divided between Catholicism and Protestantism’s 43,000 Marketing Plans. Catholicism recognizes “Verily, verily 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.”
Clearer words were never spoken. Jesus Founded One Church with one man in charge. Seems simple enough.
Jesus repeated His division of the obedient from the disobedient eighteen times:“If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
The twelfth time He said that, at the end of John 6, all but the Disciples abandoned Him. He intentionally divided those of little faith from His Disciples.
His words were repeated in The Last Supper Accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. As He changed bread and wine into His Body and Blood, He reinforced, six more times, variations of “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Catholics obey and have received that Holy Food at every Catholic Mass since The Last Supper.
Why would anyone reject His clear call to Catholic Communion?
In every age, vain men have said, “Follow me! I will get you into Heaven! Protestantism’s 43,000 Marketing Plans disguise self interest, insisting “My church is just as good as the one Jesus Founded.”
Who is unable to see through that? Market researchers know: Pride makes many people desperate for praise. That neediness prompts them to follow those who say: “You are a wise, sensitive, intelligent, caring person. I will tell you that every time I can. Now, give me some money.”
In every age, the obedient realize that He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies said, eighteen times, “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Catholics obey Jesus. We now understand better why some prefer another ambitious man with a Marketing Plan.
