Boy this Protestant really enjoys Monsignor Pope’s articles. While I know we have theological differences, M. Pope seems to focus on the 90% of Christian theology we agree on and writes excellent articles. Keep them coming Monsignor!

Any thing can be turned around to mean something other than what it means.

Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments, the commandments which we are going to be judged by are in Mathew 25 31 to 46.

What do you suppose he meant?
