Its not about blowing trumpets. Its about the one and only Church, Christ Himself founded. All these out of context scriptural quotes are old hat that even eminent Protestant theologians have now discounted and converted to Catholicism. That is the plain fact.
There is a reason I think these Bible Christians see the Bible the simplistic way they do. They haven been “Gruberized” by the local corner street Foursquare Church pastors and the likes of the Schullers, Billy Grahams, and Osteen. TD Jakes, etc whose congregations are mainly middle-aged women who cannot reason beyond the shallow waters of superficial readings of Bible text.
The works of Augustine, Aquinas, Newman, and Benedict are too profound for these congregations. They form part of the same crowd that watch Oprah. So their pastors know these folks are too “stupid” to understand the full breadth of scripture, history, sacred ritual and practice.
They sell them these frothy preachy discourses on the Bible and of good reason. If the congregation becomes educated, they will lost their ministries and with than their profitable source of income. One might ask “Where’s the beef”?
They are accustomed to Christianity Lite. Be treated to a theatrical interoperation of the Bible as “he/she” sees it, surround yourself with lights, band, music, clapping, get some doughnuts and coffee, and then pass the collection basket. No need for the sacraments, the attendance at a solemn Mass, the Eucharist, etc. Just be happy. Ignorance is bliss, empty your purse and go home.
The church HE founded is not the abomination found in Rome. It is made up of all those who look to HIM alone for their Salvation.
