I thought it was: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

The efforts that bishops put in to covering up sex abuse amongst the clergy would suggest some truth in the saying.

Based on what Chrysostom actually said, all of those bishops will end up in Hell.

Catholicism is considered a religion. Seems more like a political organization to me.

Complete non sequitur.

I wish I could locate the origin in the writings of mostly New Age guy the late Stuart Wilde (wrote Silent Power). He was always witty.

“The same Sun that shines into the vicar’s study shines through the windows of the whorehouse.”

I should have included the modifier *Off Topic*. Sorry for the confusion.

There are a wide variety of attributions of this attitude to the Church Fathers, but this homily by Chrysostom was the only really hard core one that checked out when I did some research of my own years ago.

However, the more “moderate” things, while not as colourful, would suffice to give clerics pause.

Thanks for posting

Exactly. One would think that any bishop who read Chyrsostom's homily would give a shudder -- that's assuming that they believe in God at all.

How does one pave a ceiling?

Easy; its in Hell, where all manner of things are turned upside down.

[plain talk]

“if one soul depart unbaptized, does not this subvert all his own prospect of salvation?”

Perhaps but then there is faith in the grace of Jesus Christ.

LOL. Good response.

I’m thinking the current pope probably has a highway named after him in hell.

“Catholicism is considered a religion. Seems more like a political organization to me.”

Like many religions, it moves in and out of inserting itself into the political/business world. Some say the Church doesn’t change, the people in power inside it do.

[TexasFreeper2009]

what I have always found ironic is that the exact same protestants who say one need only accept Jesus Christ as ones lord and savior and you are guaranteed heaven...

Often also claim that anyone who disagrees with them on any doctrinal issue will go to hell.

Preach Prosperity theology and your going to hell
Are a catholic and your going to hell
Moron? hell for sure
ect and yet all of those have accepted Christ and their lord and savior.

Aside from faith in Christ, and only Christ, there is nothing a person can do to gain Heaven. Christ is the guarantee of Heaven for a person who believes in Him.
