Quute: It would be easier to be on the same side if they did not slice and dice every word we utter. Just saying. Just like thread. “They say we worship Mary, we say no we don’t”. They will never accept our what we see to be truth or know to be truth.

When younger, I relished arguing with such people. No longer. I live in the Truth, now I am busy to live it out. The anti-Catholic crowd are just faint background noise to me.

I need to work on that. I guess just like liberals, I need to quit worrying about why they think what they think.

I humbly suggest you view it as I have started to. A way to better define your self, and honestly amusement.

A good friend of mine is a pastor, and is friends with a priest near our age. We were all out watching a football game (it was in Nebraska, that is what we do) talking theology, when one of the two said “You know, in heaven, Christ is going to sit us down, send Peter over, and tell us how big of block head we were.”

In other words, while theology is very important, we have to remember we are children trying to understand the movement of the sea. We simply don’t have enough brain power, information, or words to figure God out. We have His Revelation, and the other gifts He has given us, but in the end we will not know till Heaven.

Which in many ways, makes me very excited to get there.
