What would I or you say if we were asked if we were a Christian? If we were a Catholic?

In a sense, all Christians are “on trial by the world” for being Christian. It might not always be a formal judge’s chambers run by a formal Caesar. The world is always calling serious Christians too this, too that, too the other thing, and to heighten the ridiculousness, it doesn’t give a care for its own logical inconsistencies it shows in the process.

It’s time for Christians to stop being offended by such happenings, which are par for the course. Instead, Christians ought to be going on the gospel offense. Kind of a sacred version of “If this be treason, let us make the most of it” if such an expression may be kindly understood. And if they really do it well, Christians are going to find themselves at odds with Caesar too.

Nobody is actually watching the video.....classic FR...lol.

The question is, if you did claim to be a Christian would there be enough evidence in your life to prove it other than your own personal claim that you are?

On Trial for Being Catholic

I hear ya, Brother: I definitely HEAR ya!!!




"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours." — Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)

Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema. — Vatican 1, Ses. 4, Cp. 1
