As a latecomer to the Church I have often said to people I know, "If I did not believe the Catholic Church to be the only true path to salvation, I certainly could have picked an easier faith to live by!"Nadjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11092566609789390592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-49009580898457603192009-02-04T00:52:00.000-05:002009-02-04T00:52:00.000-05:00SAY IT LOUD, SAY IT PROUD!

Sean uses the term "Cafeteria Catholics" when refering to the "Vatican II" followers. They pick and choose what they want to follow. They attend Mass when its convenient for them. They criticize the families that do not use birth control. They vote for a President that supports abortion and gay marriage, and yet deem themselves "good Catholics". We are by no means perfect, but we make a conscious effort daily to follow the true word of God in hopes of one day joining him in Heaven.

I believe that Hell is the place for those who COMPLETELY reject God and His merciful love.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for posting these quotes. I have passed them onto my dad to get his take on it. The quotes seem so definate, but I can only imagine that there is much more said on the matter. Writings which propose a chance of Heaven for all of Christianity and others who worship God in their own way, even if it is only a small portion of what He asks of us.Melissa @ Homegrown Catholicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516985976368072331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-77674579445854297882009-02-02T14:46:00.000-05:002009-02-02T14:46:00.000-05:00Yes, you are one brave gal!!!!

Super job of all those quotes, wow!<BR/><BR/>Funny how Protestants have changed the meaning of Church to just be them believing in God. I know that "Church" back in those days, was just Catholic, it wasn't until after the reformation that it had to be distinguished. <BR/><BR/>I, do, however think Purgatory is full of Protestants on their way to Catholicism. Not brave enough to put that on my blog though!<BR/>(at least yet)Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-85087576887379617732009-02-02T14:34:00.000-05:002009-02-02T14:34:00.000-05:00You.

At that moment of death and with perfect contrition God can save whomever it is in His mercy to save...only He and the soul know the soul's disposition. He is a mighty God, merciful AND just.<BR/><BR/>He gave the Catholic Church which He established the FULLNESS of faith. Many ecclesial communities have parts of that grace but I am so grateful to partake in ALL of His Sacramental gifts. <BR/><BR/>How wonderful to have use of ALL the tools in the toolbox! It is indicative of the power of God's grace that so many without all the Sacraments can still be so filled with faith and God's love. What glory they will recognize when they come Home to the Catholic Church as God desires we are one.<BR/><BR/>And so if God desires that we are one, why would it be "OF" God that the reformation happened? How could it be? It's division. It is the fractionalization of the faith adn that divisiveness can only come from God's enemy.<BR/><BR/>For thousands of years did the Church operate in error? Didn't God say the gates of hell would not prevail against her? The 30,000+ protesting denominations all chosse to be "one-off" of the Catholic Church...picking and choosing what they like and won't follow. Does that come from pride? Faith asks for humility, surrender. <BR/><BR/>For thousands of years and to this day genius oh so wiser than I will ever be have decided to worship a God other than their own intellect and follow the Catholic Church and her teachings.<BR/><BR/>If I did not feel strongly about my convictions, what would that say about wishy-washy me? Yes, I believe. I surrender to faith.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423794317423373245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467184516054189174.post-43732248696351476062009-02-02T12:20:00.000-05:002009-02-02T12:20:00.000-05:00Geesh, You are one brave gal to put this in your ...Geesh, You are one brave gal to put this in your blog. I commend you, though. Why? Because that is true strength of conviction to stand for the Truth. I once tried to tell someone this about the Catholic Faith based on what I'd heard and read in the Baltimore Catechism . . . I was SHOT DOWN very meanly . . . and, my only answer/question is: what has changed since that BC was written? NOTHING. Not as far as I can see. <BR/><BR/>It hurts people to learn this and it sounds pompus as all get out, but we must remember charity. Prayer and hope. <BR/><BR/>Keep posting the Truth! I'm standing with you, the Saints, and Holy Mother Church.Sarah - Kalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877449375576975508noreply@blogger.com
