Stpio, I think we’re not making any progress here. This is not personal. I just don’t have time for merrigoround conversations. I mention Aquinas because he said some things I agree with. I am amazed you think that implies I would agree with him on everything. Transubstantiation is a late doctrine with no scriptural support. I learn what I can from people but I don’t step outside of Scripture for anybody. God does have a chosen people, and no doubt some RC will be among them. But I don’t listen to prophets that bring a message at odds with Scripture. This is obedience to Christ for me. I am sorry if you don’t understand it, but its the way things are, and that’s that. God will heal all divisions, but no man should presume to the perfection that belongs only to God. Jesus came to bring a sword, father against son, daughter against mother. It won’t be sorted out till he comes back. Meanwhile, I must be faithful, not to man, not to human institutions, but to God and to his word.

I have been away, just now saw your later reply above.
I am sorry you reject your own Protestant prophets. There
is one end time.
Jesus said do all that I command of you. This includes believing all He taught. St. Thomas Aquinas believes
in Our Lord’s presence in the Holy Eucharist.
“Late Doctrine”...right. John 6: Jesus said “This IS My Body.” You don’t believe, it’s your loss. Stick with juice and crackers. Think about what you are settling for SR.
I share, go to a Catholic Church or Eucharistic Adoration
Chapel (sometimes it is in the Church but separate or next to the Church itself) and kneel before the Tabernacle, sit if you wish.
Jesus will give you the grace to believe. Ask Him. Doing this will change you. Trust me.
Go to the Parish office if the Church is locked and ask them to open the Church. You wish to pray. There are new electronic locks on the Eucharistic Adoration Chapels today with a code. Knock on the door is my advise. Most of the Adoration Chapel are open 24 hours a day.
The vague “God will heal the divisions.” Yes and He’s told us how He’s going to do it perfectly. The only negative, He will still respect our free will to say no in the “awakening”, also known as the Second Pentecost, the Great Warning, Rev 6:15-17.
