May each of us be blessed to focus on obeying Jesus instead of obsessing about how wonderful we are.

Question 1: “How do ‘unholy vanities’ keep billions of souls from Heaven?”
Answer: “Start with The First Catholic Sacrament, Baptism. Many Willful Protestants refuse to Baptize their own babies!‘We’ll let our babies wait until they’re old enough to decide whether or not they want to have their Original Sin washed away.’”
~
Question 2: “What harm does that do?”
Answer: “As the unbaptized child grows, the Original Sin of disobedience in The Garden of Eden grows in their minds. At the same time, their parents are often moving from one Profiteer of Protestantism to another. Many end up deciding ‘I don’t need to go to any church! I can just read The Bible.’ Many of their children, and fewer of their grandchildren, never get Baptized.”
~
Question 3: “What about The Second Sacrament of Confession?”
Answer: “All Willful Protestants choose to think Jesus Christ could not give His Catholic priests This Power in John 20:23:
‘Those whose sins you forgive on earth are forgiven in Heaven.’”
~
Question 4: “Why don’t Willful Protestants receive The Actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ that has been provided at every Catholic Mass since The Last Supper?”
Answer: “Willful Protestants ignore The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated at least 14 times! ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood, you do not have life in you.’ Willful Protestants refuse to believe that Jesus gives His Catholic priests The Power to Preside over The Miracle of Transubstantiation and turn bread and wine into The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ!'”
~
Question 5: “Do Willful Protestants also avoid The Sacrament of Confirmation?”
Answer: “Yes. They do not want themselves or their children to be ‘Confirmed’ in The Only Church Spoken Into Being by This Word of Jesus Christ! ‘And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys of The Kingdom of Heaven.’”
~
Question 6: “Don’t Willful Protestants have The Sacrament of Marriage?”
Answer: “The Profiteers of Protestantism make That Sacrament less meaningful by allowing donors to divorce and re-marry as often as they want.”
~
Question 6: “What about The Sacrament of Holy Orders?”
Answer: “The Profiteers of Protestantism hate for their donors to Think Clearly enough to know they are not living links in the unbroken chain of Catholic priests and religious that was forged from The Church-Founding Decree of Jesus Christ!”
~
Question 7: “What about ‘The Last Rites’ that every Catholic hopes to receive from a Catholic priest who has the authority to make a sinful soul fit for Heaven?”
Answer: “Willful Protestants replace that great blessing with the most ‘unholy vanity’ of all! ‘I am so good enough that Jesus Christ must let ME into Heaven just as I am.’”
~
May we all be blessed to Think Clearly about WHO Jesus IS and strive to order our lives so that we may be forever among: “You are My friends if you obey My commands.”
