Well, I notice your evident good will. I love Catholic doctrine: I love Catholicism in theory and in practice --- and I love Our Lord Jesus Christ --- and I consider it my pleasure to love you, too.

Sounds a little soppy and indiscriminate, I know, but I'm overcoming a few of my lifelong faults a little at a time, by God's grace, and slowly getting the hang of it :o)

I like all my faults and think they stand me in good stead most of the time...can’t remember when now, but must have been sometime. lol

I think therein lies the problem with Catholic doctrine....it would never appeal to me even were I not born again as it is just too friggin’ much work and stuff to remember. No way!

But for those that like that kinda stuff, it must be very appealing....with all it’s love and light and kindness and goodness and such...but all that stuff keeps you away from the real Jesus, and that is exactly what Satan wants.

You guys are so busy running and doing and all the other stuff Catholics do and trying to remember all they need remember that there is no time for truth.

I always say unless you only want Jesus and are willing to give up everything you hold dear outside of Him, then you really don’t love Him. And that means people (mother, father, sister, brother), religion, anything at all. If Jesus revealed to you the truth of what I am saying, would you/could you leave Catholicism behind? Because that would be exactly what you’d have to do. Think about it.

God bless,
Jodyel
