True, the Catholic Church, though a repository of wonderful Christian Thought and History, is rather poor at Evangelism.
For my view, this is a function of the broken offices of the Church today, a Evangelist leads to Christ, a Teacher instructs, today there is a gulf between the two...sadly.
I’m a former Catholic, and have been yelled at (so to speak) on this site many times. But I have a question I’d like answered, if anyone cares to respond.
Does the Catholic church stand by John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life; no man come to the Father but by Me”?
So many so-called Catholics I know state that it doesn’t really matter what one believes, as long as you’re a “good person” and believe in “something”. I kid you not. And these are regular churchgoers.
Can anyone tell me what the Catholic Church actually believes/teaches on this subject (which, of course, should be central to the Christian faith)? I am hoping the Catholics I know are just dolts and not indicative of today’s Catholic faith.
Thanks in advance.
You think? Interesting analysis of the inner workings of the Catholic Church.
In my particular stream of Christianity, I see a gulf between teachers/ pastors/ evangelists, and prophets/ apostles. Many in the first camp don’t even recognize the existence of those in the second camp!
I guess we all have our issues. Meanwhile, some prefer to criticise guys like Stephen Baldwin instead of joining him in communicating the grace of Christ to the lost.
