    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    Unsurprising when the world has turned its back on God and idolized man... The old Chinese curse seems to apply 'may you live in interesting times' Stand strong brothers and sisters! The tempest is just beginning to blow... Peace be with you!

    Is there salvation outside the Catholic Church?

    There are many valid reasons for 'missing church' . willful disobedience is not one of them. One who endures to the end has hope and security. That enduring includes stumbles and falls and continuing to avail themselves of God's mercy and grace, freely given to all.. Yes, if its willfully...

    Why do we need priests?

    Of course. No one 'needs' canonization. Canonization recognizes the heroes of our faith, it doesnt create them.. Peace!

    Why do we need priests?

    I don't know your mum, dad or friends, so you would be better able to answer that than I. However i can say with assurance that the prayers of Br. Andre are effective indeed. Peace!

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    The Holy Spirit will clean out the leaven as HE always does... Bishop Sheen: We are influencing the world less than the world influences us. There is no apartness. We who were sent out to establish a center of health have caught the disease, and therefore have lost the power to heal. And...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    I think the office of bishop and presbytyr is clearly established in scripture. Further that such is demonstrated in all the ancient apostolic communities. I take John's words here to heart: They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Obey your leaders and defer to them, for they keep watch over you and will have to give an account, that they may fulfill their task with joy and not with sorrow, for that would be of no advantage to you. Peace!

    Why do we need priests?

    Mary is the Queen Mother because Jesus is the King! Mary is the Mother of God because Jesus is God. Frankly, it is impossible for us to honour Mary more than God already has by choosing her to be His mother. We give latria to God alone. Mary is not God. You try to separate Mary from her...
