First of all, there are no “Saints”, only saints. And every believer is a saint. You lost me when this guy claims “leadership” from “St. Michaels” Start over with, “I am a broken sinner, saved by grace, through nothing I have done, said, thought or prayed. I was dead in my trespasses and sin and God made me alive together with Christ. It is all a gift and we are stewards of this message.” Maybe we’ll listen.
Good line. Fr. Rutler knows how to put words together :-).
Without love of God, there is no true knowledge of God. Many are those with learning, but dry as dust, mocking and sneering those who are not aware of the petty details of which they are so proud. To these monsters of ego, Jesus' response is clear: "I know you not."
