Christ really wasn’t good enough for you Catholics? Does the church need to forgive you because Jesus didn’t get it completely right or good enough or what? I’m astonished that that church has stepped between you and Jesus.
Who said anything about NEED. I’ve seen a lot of people face death, including my husband. Every one of them, and I’ll venture to guess you will too, welcomed the comfort of prayer and loved ones praying for them. Of course, it may feel “too Catholic” for you, and you may send them all away.
