Today’s Reading, beginning with Mt. 10: 34, describes the relationship between those in The Only Church Jesus Founded and those who are not. Remember its beginning: “Jesus said to His Apostles:”
“Jesus said to His Apostles: Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s enemies will be those of his household.”
Opposed to that is the “Can’t we all just get along?” of the Pastors Bob. What does Jesus, their future Judge, say of those who those who water down the faith? He says they are “not worthy“, “not worthy“, and “not worthy“, a triple curse. It is reasonable to assume that those who knowingly choose the Pastors Bob are among those whom He says are “not worthy”:
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
Remember, this reading began with “Jesus said to His Apostles. . .”, that helps us understand that the following line refers to the life-giving Body and Blood transformed from bread and wine by His Apostles for Catholics of every age:
“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”
He Who Fulfilled the Prophets instructs us: Those of us who separate from the worldly and enter The Only Church Jesus Founded are not only worthy to receive The Body and Blood of Jesus at the hands of The Apostles’ legitimate successors, but also, we receive something tangible from God, The Father, Himself.
Is it possible to see the fulness of that passage, understand something of the power possessed by He Who Fulfilled the Prophecies, evaluate That Power at our own Judgment, and not be filled with the desire to become obedient Catholics?
The connection between Sanity and Catholicism? Catholicism drives away the contradictions that are the cause of madness. To fully obey Jesus, we must be Catholic. There is no other way for the knowing.
