“GOOD! Why the reticence to enforce Catholic teaching in Catholic diocese”
Right; Year of Mercy be D*mned! Show the People of God the REAL face of the Latin Church!
“The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked. His wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire. He is of purer eyes than to bear you in his sight; you are ten thousand times as abominable in his eyes as the most hateful, venomous serpent is in ours.
You have offended him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince, and yet it is nothing but his hand that holds you from falling into the fire every moment. It is to be ascribed to nothing else that you did not got to hell the last night; that you were suffered to awake again in this world, after you closed your eyes to sleep. And there is no other reason to be given why you have not dropped into hell since you arose in the morning, but that God’s hand has held you up. There is no other reason to be given why you have not gone to hell since you have sat here in the house of God provoking his pure eye by your sinful, wicked manner of attending his solemn worship. Yea, there is nothing else that is to be given as a reason why you do not this very moment drop down into hell.”
Ah, yes: The famous words of that well-known, celebrated Roman Catholic theologian Jonathan Edwards ...
The post to which I respond is actually slamming God for giving people exactly what they want hidden behind the pretense that it's a slam at the Latin Church. Interesting testimony.
Jonathan Edwards’ famous sermon... Every moment we live, every breath we draw increases our debt of grace to Him...
