“”Precisely because they were told they were saved no matter what they did.””

It’s embedded in Western culture now where even cafeteria Catholics and the ignorant believe this now

I like what Blessed Fulton Sheen once said...

.....”This was the answer given to the Greeks just two weeks before His crucifixion

This is the Lesson of Jonah, the Lesson of Our Blessed Lord, and this is the essence of Christianity! Remember, Christianity is not easy!

Perhaps that is why there is such a high interest in the Oriental religions? You have a religion without cost, a religion that requires no penance or mortification. All you have to do is “Just BE” .

Christianity COSTS SOMETHING. Grace is NOT CHEAP.-Bishop Fulton Sheen

The Reformation was about making the religion more to man's liking and taste, while criticizing the Catholic Church for being a man-made abomination!
