Good Friday’s message

Good Friday’s message has Scripture Readings from The Old Testament, The Psalms, The New Testament, and passages from Jesus. Two sentences, one from Isaiah and one from St. Paul, give us part of Good Friday’s message to Protestants. Hopefully, some Pro-Life members of the 43,000 schisms will let the words of those Holy Men get […]

No hope for those who leave.

What of those who leave The Church Jesus Founded? God tells us what He thinks of them. If we heed His words, we will return to His Only Church. If we do not, what happens? St. Paul makes it very, very clear. No hope for those who leave. He tells us so when writing to […]

Idol-worshipers hate The Church.

All who resent, resist, and attack The Church do so because they prefer man-made idols. The Catholic Church favors some groups more than others. The Church has little respect for idols and those who make them. In return, Idol-worshipers hate The Church. The greater the threat to an idol-based system, the more anti-Catholic rhetoric there […]

Only obedience brings salvation.

Do Protestants prefer self to God? Blindness to sight? Disobedience to obedience? Death to life? The brief passage from St. Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews 5:8-10 could not be clearer: “Son though He was, He learned obedience from what He suffered; and when He was made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation for […]

Without obedience, we are lost.

Many prefer faith to obedience. Extreme Protestants say “I believe, therefore I am saved.” When questioned about the need for obedience to be saved, they often fall back on “The most important thing is to believe in Jesus and The Bible.” Many Protestants, mostly farther in the fringes of the 40,000 denominations, have almost an […]

Billionaire schism-leaders abroad.

While we’re somewhat familiar with schismatic attacks on The Catholic Church, we may not realize how desperately the 40,000 schisms revile each other. Our last column simply reported about how the more outspoken leaders of the 40,000 schisms attacked each other. It is instructive to see what’s going on in schisms abroad. Other nations have […]

The Kingdom has been proclaimed. Be there!

Pope John-Paul II added five “Luminous Mysteries” to the Holy Rosary. The five Luminous Mysteries concern five things that Jesus did in His lifetime after the Finding in the Temple and before the Agony in the Garden. The Third Luminous Mystery is The Proclamation of The Kingdom. In that Proclamation, He Who fulfilled the prophecies […]

St. John warns of non-Catholic “deceivers”.

Several columns have shows how St. Paul pounded Protestants. What of the other Disciples? Do they denigrate those who leave The Church? Consider this passage from Today’s Reading from St. John: 2 John 4-9 “[Chosen Lady:] I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth just as we were commanded by […]

Replacing hate with love.

It is foolish to let anything get in the way of saving our soul. Many people get so involved in immediate concerns that they begin to hate those who disagree with them. Many of us have known people who hated political opponents so much that they put their health at risk. St. Paul speaks of […]

St. Paul tells us why there are schisms.

A very early mention, and description of the financial motives, of early schismatics is provided to us by St. Paul. Phil. 4:10-19, Today’s Reading, contains a passage in which St. Paul gives one of the earliest mentions of what appear to be Protestants. He thoughtfully explains the motive of these early Protestant schisms. “You Philippians […]
