Considering how poorly catechized most Catholics are accused of being, wouldn’t it behoove the church to worry about teaching THEM instead of *teaching* angels, who are not in need of salvation anyway?

What a waste of valuable time while souls are going to hell by the second.....

-— wouldn’t it behoove the church to worry about teaching THEM instead of *teaching* angels, who are not in need of salvation anyway?-—

I wasn’t aware of the passage from Ephesians, either.

Tim Staples’ provides Aquinas’ profound explication of the passage in the article, as well as the passage.

I've noticed for some time that if all those professing Christians really believed that souls were going to hell by the second, certain things would probably look a lot different. (In other words, my observation is related to one of the deeper reasons for my current tagline.)
