My wife is trying to minister to him, but since we’re not Catholic, it’s difficult.

I will pray that he continues to ignore your "ministering" and stays true to his faith.

It is his LACK of faith that is why the ministering was required.

But it is unlikely we will ever see them again. His wife died and he has always been a bit bitter regarding my wife because she honored her first husband’s wishes and scattered his ashes in a place in the cascade mountains that was to remain secret. Her former father-in-law has never really forgiven her for not revealing the place.

“I will pray that he continues to ignore your “ministering” and stays true to his faith.”

He HAS stayed true, thus being deprived of the confidence he should have all due to the finished work of Christ. Doubt and fear haunt when we think salvation depends on us.

[Mad Dawg]

There is no essential exclusionary difference from the gift of faith in Christ’s unfailing love and all-sufficient merit, on the one hand, and sound ecclesiology on the other.

I hope the “ministering” is “pro-Love” without being “anti-Church.”
