“Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed...

I have not and will not pray to Mary for any reason. I have not and will not kiss any statue of Mary. I have not and will not exalt Mary as the queen of heaven. Roman Catholic verdict on my obstinacy? I think post #10 has it covered, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the verdict...

For me it has become a moot point. I’m no longer Protestant and I was never a Roman Catholic. I’m what is known in academic circles as a “primitive Christian”. Protestant clergy has waffled on the issue in my case, some saying “once saved, always saved” but what I currently believe is wrong =...
