“Throw away the Catechism” and we get the Babel of Protestantism.

This is the codification of the teachings of Christ handed to Peter, his Apostles and their successors- a lasting truth till the end of time.

Not the stupid nonsense of Jim Jones, David Koresh, Rev. Schullers, Re. Sharptons, Billy Grahams and the Joel Osteens, and every Tom. Dick, and Harry corner-street pastor who think they can crack open the Bible (which by the way did not fall from the skies but were books compiled by the early Church Fathers) and “authoritatively” deliver the one tee message of the Christ.

This is why intellectuals of every stripe from every other non-Catholic faith have finally realized the error of their thinking and converted to Catholicism.

What remains are low-informed “Christian” voters. who are kool-aid feed with incoherent and random scriptural passages to advance the rot taught by Luther, Calvin, and Wesley. Oh, and even Henry VIII!. These are all wild mushrooms growing around the large mustard tree, mushrooms upon which the lowly insects feed on while the soaring eagles settle on the large branches of the mustard tree.

Well spread your wings, Pharisee....

Luk 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Luk 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Luk 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Luk 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
