Thus they don’t see why Catholics who come to disagree with essential teachings of the Church don’t just leave. The answer is symbolized by the sanctuary lamp. They do not leave the Church because they know that the sacramental fire burns there on the ecclesiastical hearth. Even if they do not see by its light, they want to be warmed by its fire.
It has ceased to scandalize me, though it has not ceased to amaze me, that Almighty God suffers me to touch him, move him and eat him! Imagine! When I move my hand to my mouth with the Host, I move God through space. When I put him here, he is here. When I put him there, he is there. The Prime Mover lets me move him where I will ...
Communion in the hand scandalizes me to some point as well (and I could listen to Mr. Kreft's words more intently if he received on the tongue only). I, myself (even though it is allowed), am no longer a go-between in the transfer of Our Most Precious Lord.
And those that stay with the Church -- although they do not believe in the essential teachings of the Church -- is beyond me as to why they do, except maybe they never did understand them to begin with -- in which case they should not have become Catholic -- and their ignorance causes their folly. If they DID understand, they'd never sit on the sidelines while the rest of the team fights, seeks, and strives to win the game (through the Most Holy Eucharist, Reconciliation, Adoration, good works, and so on).
Pray the Rosary for the end of abortion!
