Easter Misreadings [Michael Voris video]

“Actually if it were not for the Catholic Church, the Bible, as it is today, would not even exist.”

That’s the distributed history. The truth is quite different.

Copies of scripture have always been available to the public at an affordable price. Before there was printing, books of the Bible such as Psalms or The Gospel Of John, were hand copied and sold for a reasonable price to anyone who wanted them (and could read).

A Saxon book of Psalms was found in a field in England just last year.

Mr. Voris may or may not be sincere, but he is a kook ...

If he's a "kook," at least he's a Catholic kook! He *did* issue an apology and clarification to the video I think you are referencing, and that apology is here: Link.

I don't question Voris' Catholicism. His delivery could be a little less brash, but it probably serves a purpose in getting folks' attention. Rock on, Mr. Voris! I, too, would like to see the Protestants gain/regain the [literal] strength of Christ.

And Obama has the truth of government and the Conservatives have no business trying to tell him what to do.
Comparing Obama to the Catholic Church is kind of dark. Of course, we (especially babies!) have every right to crawl all over Obama's viewpoints.

What the Catholic Church has that the Protestants are without is the Real Presence of Christ. For Protestants to think that Christ came for 33 years to teach and love -- and eventually get the snot beat out of Him -- all to leave just a silly little symbol, well, how can one trust what else the Protestants say after that? And why don't the Protestants desire this power, anyway? Why do they deny themselves of it?

1324 The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch." --Catechism of the Catholic Church
